organizations that advertise our Services or Services offered by other

WHAT INFORMATION DOES SNAPTUBE COLLECT?
The information we collect can be generally placed in three
categories:
- users data;
-
data on how the users use our Services;
-
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
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.
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
such as the E-mail address you use to sign in to a third-party account.
Whenever you interact with the Snaptube website or application, we
automatically receive and record information on our server logs. The
information we collect includes:
-
Users data. This may include your age and gender, your E-mail
address, your IP address, your Google Advertising ID, and cookie
information. 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.
-
Services usage data. This may include 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, the page you request from your
browser, and which features you use.
-
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, the date, time, and referrer URL of your request, and
your connection between your phone and your computer.
-
Data on user downloads. This may include information regarding which
videos you download and your average download speed.
-
Aggregate statistics on content. This may include the number of
contacts you have on your phone, how many contacts you have marked as
favorites, and the number of apps, songs, videos, or other content you
have on your phone. This information is only collected as meta-data,
without reference to you or your contacts’ identities.
-
Hardware and software identification. This may include the device
type, settings and image resolution, operating system, mobile network
information including the carrier name and phone number, the version
of the 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.
-
Location information. We may collect information about your location
when you use our Services. Your location might be determined by GPS,
IP address, sensor data from your device, and information about things
near your device, such as Wi-Fi access points, cell towers, and
Bluetooth-enabled devices.
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.
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 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 the Company without the 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 the 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 hello@snaptube.com.
Our Services will not collect the following information without your
specific consent or satisfying the preconditions required by applicable
laws:
-
Your and/or your friends’ phone numbers
-
Any of the content of your text messages, either sent or
received
-

Services
-

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. 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.
HOW DOES SNAPTUBE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
The data we collect is sent to the Company servers in the USA in
aggregate form and added to our system for analysis.
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
-
compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation by the
controller;
-
transfer to third parties; or
-
exclusive use of the controller, with access by third parties is
prohibited, provided the data has been anonymized.

confidentiality obligations and may be disciplined or terminated if
