Privacy policy
Last updated 12 November 2026. Applies to the Vidvo app for Android.
Vidvo is a video player. There is no account and no sign-up, and your videos are never uploaded.
Kept only on your device
Your watch history and resume positions, the playlists and links you add, favourites, hidden folders and settings are stored only on your device. They are not sent to us. Uninstalling the app erases them; Android Settings → Apps → Vidvo → Storage → Clear data erases them too.
Access to your videos
With your permission, Vidvo reads the videos on your device to show your library and thumbnails. On Android 14 and later you can allow only the videos you pick. Rename, delete and share happen only when you ask, and Android asks you to confirm.
Links, streams and playlists you open
When you play a link or add a playlist, Vidvo connects directly to the server in that link (and to the channel logo and TV guide addresses the playlist lists). That server sees your IP address, like any website you visit. We don't see or log which links you open.
Online subtitle search
Only when you tap Search online, Vidvo sends the video's title, a fingerprint of the file (a hash of its size and some of its bytes, which can't be turned back into the video) and the language you chose to OpenSubtitles.com, and downloads the subtitle you pick. Their privacy policy applies to that request.
Crash reports and app settings
To fix problems quickly, the app reports crashes through Google Firebase Crashlytics (what failed and where in the code, the app version, operating system and device model). The app also downloads its settings from Google Firebase Remote Config. These requests carry a random app-instance identifier and the app version, never the names of your videos, links or playlists.
Ads
Ads are currently switched off. If they are switched on in a later version, they are provided by Google AdMob and AppLovin, which may use your device's advertising identifier and other device data to show and measure ads. Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland), the app first asks for your consent, and you can change your choice later. Ads never appear while a video is playing, before it starts, on pause or in picture-in-picture.
Feedback you send
The contact form and the app's Send feedback screen send what you type, an optional link you add, and the app version, operating system, device model and language through Google Forms. Nothing is sent until you press Send. Please don't include personal details you don't want to share. Messages are used only to answer you and improve the app, and are deleted once dealt with.
Who receives data
Google, as the provider of Firebase and Forms (and AdMob if ads are enabled), under its privacy policy; OpenSubtitles.com, only when you search for subtitles online; and the servers of the links and playlists you choose to open. We don't sell personal data and don't run our own servers for the app.
Children
Vidvo is a general video player and isn't directed at children.
Delete your data
- On your device (history, playlists, settings): uninstall the app, or clear its data in Android Settings.
- Messages you sent us: use the contact form, choose "Privacy request" and tell us roughly when you wrote. We delete them and reply within 30 days.
We keep nothing else about you: Vidvo has no accounts.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is published on this page with a new date.
