Last updated: October 14, 2024

This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our App. By using our app, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

1. Information Collection and Use

In a video player app, the collected data typically refers to information generated within the app itself, without pulling any personal data from the user's device, unless specified. Since the video player does not require personal details like contacts or messages, the data collected might include: Video Preferences: Data related to videos the user plays, such as preferred video format (MP4, AVI, etc.), preferred subtitles, playback speed, volume settings, and the most recently played video.
Playlists and Favorites: If the app allows users to create playlists, this data (playlist names, videos added) would be stored locally on the user’s device.

Playback Settings: Details like resolution preferences (720p, 1080p, 4K), screen orientation (landscape or portrait), and brightness settings.

History: Recent videos played and watch time. This is stored locally and not shared with third parties unless specified.
In line with the policy, alarm-related data is local to the user's device, and similarly, any video data (playlists, preferences, etc.) would be stored locally on the device.

2. Data Storage and Security

All data related to The App is stored locally on your device. We do not upload or store this data on external servers. Any analytics data collected through third-party services (e.g., Firebase) is anonymized. We employ appropriate security measures to protect your personal data, including encryption and regular security audits. However, no method of data transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.
