Vidly: Video Status Maker – Privacy Policy
Last updated: Dec 23, 2025
This Privacy Policy explains how Video Status Maker (“app”, “we”, “our”, “us”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use our Android application. By installing or using the app, you agree to this Privacy Policy.
1. Information we collect
The app itself does not require you to create an account or directly submit personal details like name or email. However, the app and integrated third‑party SDKs may collect the following types of information to provide core features and show ads:[1][2]
- Device information (such as device model, OS version, language, IP address, mobile identifiers like Advertising ID).
- Usage data (such as screens viewed, buttons tapped, session duration, crash logs).
- Approximate location (derived from IP address) for ad serving, where allowed by your device and platform settings.
If you create or edit video status content using images or audio from your device, the app accesses only the media files you select for the purpose of creating or saving your video status.
2. Permissions used
To provide video status creation and related features, the app uses the following Android permissions as declared in the manifest:[2][3]
- android.permission.INTERNET
Used to connect to the internet in order to:
- Load and display ads from Google Ads, Meta Audience Network, Pangle, and LiftOff.
- Check for updates, sync content, and improve app stability.
- android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE / android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
Used on older Android versions to:
- Read photos, images, and audio files you choose for creating or editing video status content.
- Export and save created video status files to your device storage.
- android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES / android.permission.READ_MEDIA_AUDIO
Used on newer Android versions to:
- Access only the images and audio you select from your gallery or file picker to create or edit video status content.
The app does not access any files or media other than those you intentionally select for use within the app’s features.
3. Use of Google, Meta, Pangle, and LiftOff ads
This app displays advertising to keep the app free. For this purpose, we integrate the following advertising SDKs, which may collect and process data such as device identifiers, coarse location, and usage data to serve and measure ads in accordance with their own policies:[4][5][3]
- Google Ads / AdMob (Google LLC)
- Used to display banner, interstitial, and/or rewarded ads.
- May use your Advertising ID and other device information to show personalized or non‑personalized ads, depending on your consent and device settings.
- Google’s Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- Meta Audience Network (Meta Platforms, Inc.)
- Used to show ads from Meta’s advertising partners.
- May use device identifiers, usage data, and information from Meta products where applicable.
- Meta Privacy Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy
- Pangle (ByteDance)
- Used to display video and other ad formats.
- May collect device information and usage data for ad delivery and measurement.
- Pangle Privacy Policy: https://www.pangleglobal.com/privacy
- LiftOff

These providers may use the information they collect to deliver interest‑based (personalized) or contextual ads, subject to applicable laws and your platform‑level ad personalization settings.[5][4]
4. How we use information
Information collected through the app and third‑party SDKs is used for the following purposes:[3][1]
- To enable core features (creating, editing, and saving video status content).
- To display, optimize, and measure advertising in the app.
- To monitor app performance, fix bugs, and improve stability and user experience.
- To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.
We do not sell your personal information in the sense of many privacy laws, but advertising partners may process data to deliver ads as described above.
5. Data sharing and third parties
We may share or allow access to information in the following ways:[4][1][3]
- Advertising partners and SDK providers: Google, Meta, Pangle, and LiftOff may receive device and usage data through their SDKs integrated into the app in order to serve and measure ads.
- Service providers: Third‑party tools (e.g., crash reporting, analytics) may receive limited data to help us operate and improve the app.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government request, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.
These third parties process data according to their own privacy policies and applicable law.
6. Your choices and controls
You have several options to control data collection and advertising:[5][3][4]
- Device‑level ad settings
- On Android, you can reset your Advertising ID and/or limit ad personalization in your device’s Google settings.
- When you opt out of interest‑based ads at system level, advertising partners should serve only non‑personalized ads.
- App permissions
- You can revoke storage/media permissions in your device settings at any time. However, some features (like importing media for video status creation) may not work without these permissions.
- Cookies and similar technologies
- Some ad partners may use cookies or similar technologies in embedded web components (WebView). You can adjust browser or WebView settings where applicable.
If you are in a region that requires consent for personalized ads, the app may show a consent prompt where you can allow or deny such processing before ads are shown.
7. Data retention and security
- Information collected through the app and third‑party SDKs is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy or as required by law, subject to each partner’s own retention policies.[6][1]
- Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse, but no system can be guaranteed completely secure.
8. Children’s privacy
This app is intended for users who are at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under this age. If a parent or guardian believes that their child has provided information, they should contact us so that appropriate action can be taken.[1][6]
9. International transfers
Advertising partners and service providers may process data on servers located in different countries than your own. These countries may have different data protection laws, but appropriate safeguards are used by such partners as required by applicable regulations.[6][1]
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the app, laws, or practices. When updated, the “Last updated” date at the top of this page will be revised. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated policy.[3][1]
