# ABS TV Privacy Policy
**Effective date:** August 28, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how ABS TV ("ABS TV," "we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use the ABS TV mobile application and related services (the "App").
## 1. Who We Are
ABS TV is operated by **[insert legal publisher or organization name]**.
For privacy questions or requests, contact us at **[insert privacy contact email]**.
Please replace the bracketed details before publishing this policy.
## 2. Information We Collect
### Information used for administration
The public viewing features do not require you to create an account. The App uses Firebase Authentication for the restricted administrator area. If you are an administrator, we process your email address and authentication information to sign you in and protect content-management functions.
### Notification information
If you grant notification permission, Firebase Cloud Messaging may process a device or app instance token and notification delivery information. The App subscribes devices to the `video_updates` topic so it can notify subscribers about new, updated, or removed library videos. You can disable notifications in your device settings.
### Content and technical information
The App retrieves video titles, descriptions, categories, dates, and playback URLs from Cloud Firestore. These records are app content and are not intended to identify public viewers. Firebase and the underlying platform may also process technical information needed to provide, secure, and troubleshoot their services, such as device, app, network, and diagnostic information.
### Device permissions
The App may request access to notifications, photos or storage, and the microphone when you use related features such as notifications, saving screenshots, or screen recording. We do not use these permissions to collect information beyond the feature you choose to use. You can manage permissions through your device settings.
## 3. How We Use Information
We use information to:
- provide live streaming and video-library features;
- authenticate and manage authorized administrators;
- deliver requested video-update notifications;
- save screenshots or recordings when you explicitly use those features;
- maintain, secure, debug, and improve the App; and
- respond to privacy or support requests.
## 4. Service Providers and Third-Party Services
The App relies on third-party services, including:
- **Google Firebase**, including Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, and Firebase Cloud Messaging;
- **YouTube**, when you play a library video through a YouTube URL; and
- **The live-stream hosting provider**, when you watch the ABS TV live stream.
These providers may process information under their own privacy policies and terms. We encourage you to review their policies. We do not control the privacy practices of third-party websites, video services, or hosting providers.
## 5. Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as reasonably necessary to operate the App, including with the service providers described above, when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a business transfer.
Administrators' email addresses and account records are used for restricted administration and are not displayed as public viewer information.
## 6. Data Retention
We retain administrator account information while an administrator account is active or as needed for security, legal, and operational purposes. Notification tokens and related delivery information are retained by Firebase and its service infrastructure according to their practices and configuration. Public video content is retained while it is available in the App.
We delete or de-identify information when it is no longer needed, subject to legal, security, backup, and legitimate business requirements.
## 7. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect information. No internet transmission or electronic storage system is completely secure. Administrator credentials must be kept confidential and should never be shared.
## 8. Children
The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and remove it where appropriate.
## 9. Your Choices and Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of personal information, or to object to certain processing. You may also withdraw notification permission through your device settings. To make a privacy request, contact us using the email address in Section 1. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
You can stop using the App or uninstall it at any time. Uninstalling may not delete information held by Firebase or other service providers; request deletion from us where applicable.
## 10. International Processing
Our service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. Where required, applicable providers use appropriate safeguards for cross-border processing.
## 11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy with a new effective date. Your continued use of the App after an update means the revised policy applies to your use of the App.
