Vidyo Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information the Vidyo video editor app for Android ("the app", "we") uses, why, and the choices you have. All video editing happens on your device. Your videos, photos, audio and projects are never uploaded to us.
1. Information that stays on your device
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Photos and videos you choose | To edit them and create your video. Files are read on your device only. |
| Microphone (only when you record a voiceover) | To record your voiceover into the project. The recording is stored on your device. |
| Music and audio files you choose | To add them to your project. |
| Projects and settings | Saved in the app's private storage so you can continue editing later. |
| Exported videos | Saved to your device's gallery when you export. |
| Error log | Kept on your device to help fix problems. It leaves your device only if you choose to share it yourself. |
We do not collect, upload, sell or share any of this content. Deleting the app removes its projects and settings; your original media and exported videos remain in your gallery.
2. Advertising
The app shows ads provided by Google AdMob (rewarded ads, for example to unlock a higher export resolution, and an ad after an export finishes). To show and measure ads, Google may collect and process information such as:
- your device's advertising ID,
- device and app information (model, operating system, app version, language),
- IP address and approximate location derived from it,
- ad interactions (for example, views and taps) and diagnostic data.
This data is collected by Google, not by us, and is handled under Google's Privacy Policy. See also how Google uses information from apps that use its services.
Where required by law (for example in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland), the app asks for your consent before personalised ads are shown. You can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of ad personalisation, in your Android settings (Settings → Google → Ads, or Settings → Privacy → Ads).
3. Internet access
The app's editing and export features work fully offline. The app uses the internet only to load and show ads.
4. Permissions
- Photos and videos — to pick media for your project.
- Microphone — only for voiceover recording, requested when you start one.
- Notifications — to show export progress while the app runs in the background.
- Internet — to load ads.
You can change permissions at any time in your Android settings.
5. Children
The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
6. Security and retention
Your content stays in your device's storage, protected by Android's app sandbox. We hold no copies of it on any server. Data collected by Google for ads is retained under Google's policies.
7. Your rights
Because we do not store your personal data on our servers, there is nothing for us to access, correct or delete. For data processed by Google for advertising, use the controls described above or contact Google.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. The new version will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
