Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what information we collect and why, how we use it,
and the choices you have.
Information We Collect and How We Use It
To provide and improve the Application, we collect the following types of information:
1. Video File Metadata (Locally Processed)

accesses metadata about your video files, including the file name, file path (as a Content URI), file
size, duration, and format.
* Why we collect it: This information is essential for the core functionality of the Application, which is
to list your videos so you can select and play them. The Application also generates thumbnails from your
videos to provide a better user experience.
* Important: The Application processes this information locally on your device. Your video files and their
content are never uploaded, stored on our servers, or shared with us or any third party.
2. Third-Party Advertising
* What we collect: The Application uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob is a third-party
service that may collect and use data to provide personalized ads. This data may include:

information.

necessary for the Application to scan, discover, and read the video files stored on your device so that
they can be played.

Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not share your personal information, such as video metadata, with any third parties.

as governed by its privacy policy. We do not share any unique information from our Application with them
beyond what is necessary to integrate their service.
We may disclose information if required to do so by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar
legal process.

We are committed to protecting your information. All video file scanning and processing occurs locally on
your device. We take reasonable administrative, physical, and electronic measures designed to safeguard
and protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure.
Children's Privacy
We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If a
parent or guardian becomes aware that their child has provided us with information without their consent,
they should contact us. We will delete such information from our files within a reasonable time.
