Effective Date: August 26, 2026

Last Updated: August 26, 2026

Welcome to HD Video Player ("we", "our", or "us"), provided by Samriva Labs. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how our video player application collects, uses, and safeguards information when you use our mobile application.

1. Information We Do NOT Collect (Local Media Privacy)

2. Permissions Requested & Why We Need Them

• Read Media Video & Audio (READ_MEDIA_VIDEO, READ_MEDIA_AUDIO): Required to scan, index, and display video and music files stored locally on your device for seamless playback.
• Foreground Service Media Playback (FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK): Required to continue playing audio/video in background or Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode when the screen is turned off or you switch apps.
• Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS): Used to display media playback controls in your notification shade and optional "Continue Watching" playback reminders.
• Internet Access (INTERNET): Used exclusively for Google AdMob advertising delivery, downloading open-source subtitle files requested by you, and checking for app updates.

3. Third-Party Services & Advertising (Google AdMob)

To keep the application 100% free to use with all premium features accessible via Rewarded Ads, we integrate Google AdMob. Google AdMob may collect and process certain non-personally identifiable information:

• Device Identifiers: Advertising ID (GAID / AAID), IP address, device model, operating system version, and mobile network information.
• Ad Interaction Data: Ad views, clicks, and rewarded ad completion events for reward verification.
• Crash & Performance Data: Anonymous diagnostics to ensure smooth playback performance.

For more information on Google's privacy practices, please review the Google Privacy Policy.

4. GDPR & European Privacy Compliance (Google UMP)

For users located in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom, we comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We utilize Google's certified User Messaging Platform (UMP) to present a consent dialog allowing you to consent to or manage personalized vs. non-personalized advertising preferences.

5. California Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA)

We do not sell personal information. California consumers have the right to request disclosure of categories of data collected by advertising partners and opt out of targeted advertising via their Android device settings (Settings > Google > Ads > Delete Advertising ID).

6. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Our application is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact us immediately so we can take appropriate measures.

7. Security of Your Information

We use industry-standard security practices. Communication with third-party services (such as AdMob and update checks) is strictly encrypted in transit using Transport Layer Security (HTTPS / TLS).

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy and posting the updated policy within the app and on our website.
