This Privacy Policy applies to the Services offered by Snaptube and does not apply to the information practices of other companies and organizations that advertise our Services or Services offered by other companies or individuals, including products or sites that may be linked to our Services.

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:

1. 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.
2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Data on user downloads. This may include information regarding which videos you download and your average download speed.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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
• Your music, photos, video, or any content you download via our Services
• 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 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

1. compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation by the controller;
2. transfer to third parties; or
3. exclusive use of the controller, with access by third parties is prohibited, provided the data has been anonymized.
