SecretoTools is developed as a practical software project, with decisions tested against real television devices and real user needs. This article documents the principles behind that work.
Collect less by default
The safest unnecessary data is the data never collected. SecretoTools products are designed to operate without user accounts, advertising profiles or unrelated analytics.
Prefer on-device and local processing
Device diagnostics remain on the television, while Secreto Hub transfers stay on the local network. This reduces exposure and keeps the product easier to understand.
Explain permissions clearly
When a capability requires access, the interface and documentation should explain why it is needed and what the product does with it.
