WHAT INFORMATION DOES VIDMATE COLLECT?
The information we collect can be generally placed in two categories:
1) data on how the users use our Services;
2) aggregate data on the content with which the users engage. We
collect information to provide better services to you—from figuring
out basic stuff such as which language you speak to more complex
things such as which ads you will find most useful or which VidMate
videos you might like. The information we collect and how that
information is used depends on how you use our Services and how you
manage your privacy controls.
You understand and consent that we may provide and share the
information to our partners so that they too can provide you with an
optimal experience, but we never disclose information to a partner in
the manner that would identify you personally.
When you are not signed in to a valid account, we use the unique
identifiers tied to the application or device you are using to collect
information. When you are signed in with a third party account, e.g.,
your Google Account, we use that specific account to collect
information.
For greater certainty, whenever you interact with our website or apps,
we automatically receive and record information including your IP
address, "cookie" information, and the page you requested from your
browser on our server logs. "Cookies" are identifiers we transfer to
your computer or mobile device that allow us to recognize your
computer or device and tell us how and when the Services are visited
and by how many people. You may be able to change the preferences on
your browser or device to prevent or limit your acceptance of cookies,
but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our
features.
Whenever you interact with
VidMate, we
automatically receive and record information on our server logs. The
information we collect includes:
1.Services usage data.
This may include your age and gender, the languages you use, the terms
you search for, the videos you watch, your views and interactions with
content and ads, voice and audio information when you use audio
features, purchase activity, people with whom you communicate or share
content, information regarding the version of our software you are
using, the location where you download our software, how often you
launch our software, and which features you use.
2.Data on the quality of our Services.
This may include the interaction of your devices with our Services,
such as IP address, crash reports, system activity, and the date,
time, and referrer URL of your request, and your connection between
your phone and your computer.
3.Data on user downloads.
This may include information regarding which videos you download and
your average download speed.
4.Aggregate statistics on content.
This may include the phone number of contacts you have on your phone.
This information is only collected as meta-data, without reference to
you or your contacts' identities.
5.Hardware and software identification.
This may include the device type, settings and image resolution,
operating system, mobile network information including carrier name,
the version of Android operating system, the size of your device's
screen, and internal storage. We support over 500 different Android
devices and this helps us prioritize support for different kinds of
hardware and software.
1. If our software crashed when you were using it, the crash report
sent to our server may contain some information about the operating
system that you use.
2. If you download content via our desktop software, we store a copy
to your computer so that the next time you connect your phone you
don't have to download it again.
3. If you provide us with your name and email address, we will use
this information for the purpose of contacting you regarding our
Services and products. You may opt out of such communications at any
time by unsubscribing through our Website or contacting us through one
of the methods listed at the end of this policy.
The Company does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information
from children under the applicable age in your country or knowingly
allow such persons to register unless it is upon the specific and
highlighted consent of at least one of the parents or the legal
representatives of the child. If you are a child, please do not
attempt to register for the Website or send any information about
yourself to us without the permission of your parents or legal
representatives, including your name, address, telephone number, or
email address. No child may provide any personal information to
Company or on the Website without necessary permission from their
parents or legal representatives. We will use commercially reasonable
efforts to verify that the consent referred to above was given by the
child's representatives, considering available technologies. When we
learn that we have collected personal information from a child without
parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as
possible. Children's personal data may be collected without the
consent mentioned above when collection is necessary to contact the
parents or legal representatives, used one single time and not stored,
or for their protection, and under no circumstances shall the data be
passed on to third parties without consent as provided herein. If you
believe that we might have any information from or about a child,
please contact us at
[email protected]
The data we collect is sent to the Company servers in the USA in
aggregate form and added to our system for analysis. Our Services will
not collect the following information without your specific consent or
satisfying the preconditions required by applicable laws:
- 1.Your, your friends', your cat's phone numbers
-
2.Any of the content of your text messages, either sent or received
-
3.Your music, photos, video, or any contents you download via our
Services
-
4.Your sensitive personal data concerning racial or ethnic origin,
religious belief, political opinion, trade union or religious,
philosophical or political organization membership, data concerning
health or sex life, genetic or biometric data, when related to a
natural person.
We will generally retain information for as long as required, allowed
or for as long as we believe it useful. Even if the processing of
personal data is terminated, we may continue to use and disclose your
Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy as amended
from time to time to the extent allowed by applicable laws for
purposes of a) compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation by the
controller; b) transfer to third parties; or c) exclusive use of the
controller, with access by third parties being prohibited, and
provided the data has been anonymized.
We do not purport to have listed all possible disclosures that we
might make. This Privacy Policy is intended to help you understand our
general practices. This policy is not a promise that your information
will never be disclosed except as described above. For example, third
parties may unlawfully intercept or access information transmitted to
or contained on the site, technologies may malfunction or not work as
anticipated, or someone might access, abuse or misuse information,
despite a lack of permission. Although we use what we believe to be
commercially reasonable practices to protect your privacy, that does
not mean, and you should not expect it to mean, that your information
or communications will always be private or protected.

confidentiality obligations and may be disciplined or terminated if

or malicious deletion. Because of this, there may be delays between
when you delete something and when copies are deleted from our active
and backup systems.
We regularly review this Privacy Policy and update it if it is
necessary to make sure that we process your information in ways that
comply with it as well as applicable laws. We will not reduce your
rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent. The
