1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how LinkVideo Downloader ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use our Android application ("App"). If you do not agree with this Policy, please stop using the App.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information collected automatically

• App usage data (feature interactions, performance metrics, crash diagnostics).
• Device and technical data (device model, OS version, app version, language, country/region).
• Advertising identifiers (such as GAID) where permitted by your device settings and applicable laws.

2.2 Information you provide

• Information you send in support emails or feedback requests.
• Content metadata required for download processing (for example, link parsing and task status data).

2.3 Permissions

Depending on Android version and feature usage, the App may request permissions (for example, media/files access and notifications) only to provide relevant functionality. You can deny permissions, but some features may not work as intended.

3. How We Use Information

• Provide and maintain core functions (link parsing, download task management, retry, progress updates).
• Improve app stability, fix bugs, and optimize performance.
• Prevent abuse, fraud, and security incidents.
• Measure and improve product quality and user experience.
• Display ads in production builds, where applicable.

4. Legal Bases (where applicable)

Depending on your location, we may rely on one or more legal bases, including:

• Your consent.
• Performance of a contract (providing requested app services).
• Legitimate interests (app security, reliability, and improvement).
• Compliance with legal obligations.

5. Advertising and Analytics

In production versions, we may use third-party services for advertising and analytics. These services may process identifiers and usage data according to their own policies.

• Google AdMob: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• Google Firebase Analytics/Crash reporting (if enabled): https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy

You can manage certain ad personalization settings in your device settings and Google ad settings: https://adssettings.google.com.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal data in the ordinary meaning of "sell". We may share data with:

• Service providers (hosting, analytics, crash monitoring, ad mediation) under contractual safeguards.
• Legal authorities when required by law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request.
• Parties involved in corporate transactions (merger, acquisition, asset sale), subject to legal protections.

7. Data Retention

We retain data only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Policy, including legal, accounting, and security obligations. When data is no longer needed, we delete it or anonymize it.

8. International Data Transfers

Depending on your region and our service providers' infrastructure, data may be processed in countries other than your own. We implement reasonable safeguards for such transfers as required by applicable law.

9. Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed to children under the minimum age required by applicable laws in your jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children in violation of applicable law. If you believe a child has provided data unlawfully, contact us to request deletion.

10. Your Rights

Subject to applicable law (for example GDPR/UK GDPR/CCPA/LGPD), you may have rights to:

• Access, correct, delete, or port your personal data.
• Restrict or object to certain processing.
• Withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent).
• Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.

To exercise your rights, contact us at gertruderh@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before processing requests.

11. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

12. Third-Party Links and Content

The App may include links or integrations to third-party services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this Policy.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date and, where required, notifying users in-app.
