Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-10-05

Effective date: 5 October 2026

This policy explains what information the VidPlus iPhone app ("VidPlus", "the app") collects, why, who it is shared with, and the choices you have. VidPlus is provided by Manmohan Das, Phulta, Berhampur, Ganjam, Odisha 760003, India ("we", "us").

If you have a question about this policy, email help@vidplus.io.

1. Summary

  • VidPlus has no accounts. You never give us a name, password or profile.
  • The videos you download are stored on your iPhone. We do not keep copies of them.
  • The free version shows ads from Google AdMob. Ads use device and advertising data as described below.
  • We use a random device ID, your IP address and (if you allow notifications) a push token to run the service and to count installs and app opens.
  • Purchases are handled by Apple. We never see your card or payment details.

2. Information we collect

2.1 Information you give us

  • Video links you paste. When you paste a link and tap download, the link is sent to our server so the server can find the video and prepare the file for your device. We do not keep a record of the links you submit. If a download fails, the link may be written to our server's error log so we can fix the problem.
  • Support messages. If you use the in-app contact form, we receive the name, email address, optional phone number, subject and message you enter, and whether you are on the free or Pro plan. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you write.

2.2 Information collected automatically

  • Device ID. The app creates a random identifier the first time it runs. It is not your name, phone number, Apple ID or advertising identifier. It is sent to our server with each download request and when the app is installed or opened, so we can count installs and opens and keep the service working. Deleting the app deletes this ID; reinstalling creates a new one.
  • IP address and country. Like every internet service, our server receives your IP address when the app connects. We use it to work out your country for statistics. We do not store your IP address with your data. It is kept in our standard web server logs for up to 14 days and then deleted automatically.
  • Push notification token. If you allow notifications, the app registers a token with Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google) and sends it to our server so we can deliver notifications. We do not link it to your name.
  • Purchase information. If you buy VidPlus Pro, our purchase provider RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user ID, the product you bought, and its status (active, renewed, cancelled, expired). This lets the app unlock Pro and restore it later. Apple processes the payment.

2.3 Advertising data (free version only)

The free version shows ads through Google AdMob. Google and its advertising partners may collect and use:

  • your device's advertising identifier (IDFA), only if you allow tracking when iOS asks;
  • your IP address, which can indicate your general location (city or region, not precise location);
  • device information such as model, operating system version and language;
  • information about the ads you see and tap.

This data is collected by Google's software inside the app, under Google's own privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy. More on how Google uses data from apps that use its services: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

VidPlus Pro removes all ads. When Pro is active, the app does not load ads.

2.4 Information that stays on your iPhone

The following is stored only on your device and is not sent to us:

  • the videos you download;
  • your download history inside the app, including the number of downloads made today;
  • your settings (language, theme, accent colour) and the notifications shown in the app.

VidPlus asks for permission to add videos to your Photos library. It cannot read or view the photos and videos already in your library.

2.5 Information we do not collect

We do not collect your contacts, precise location, the contents of your photo library, health data, or browsing history outside the app. We do not ask you to create an account.

3. How we use information

We use the information above to:

  • find and deliver the videos you ask the app to download;
  • send notifications you have allowed, such as when a download finishes, and occasional announcements;
  • unlock, renew and restore VidPlus Pro;
  • show ads in the free version and measure their performance;
  • count installs and app opens, by day and by country, to understand how the app is used;
  • answer support requests;
  • find and fix errors, and prevent abuse of the service.

We do not sell your personal information.

4. Who we share information with

We share information only with the service providers that help us run VidPlus, and only as needed for the purposes above:

  • Google AdMob — Shows ads in the free version. Data involved: Advertising ID (if allowed), IP address, device information, ad interactions
  • Google Firebase Cloud Messaging — Delivers push notifications. Data involved: Push token
  • RevenueCat — Manages Pro purchases. Data involved: Anonymous app user ID, purchase history and status
  • Apple — Processes payments, delivers the app. Data involved: Payment and Apple ID details (held by Apple, not by us)
  • Formspree — Delivers contact form messages to us. Data involved: Name, email, phone (optional), message, plan
  • Microsoft Azure — Hosts our server. Data involved: Video links, device ID, IP address, push token

We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect our rights, our users, or the public.

5. Tracking and your choices

  • Tracking permission. iOS asks whether you allow VidPlus to track you across other companies' apps and websites. If you choose "Ask App Not to Track", the advertising identifier is not shared and ads are not personalised using it. You can change this at any time in iPhone Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
  • Consent in Europe and the UK. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the app asks for your consent before showing personalised ads. To change your choice later, email help@vidplus.io, or get VidPlus Pro, which removes all ads.
  • Notifications. You can turn notifications off at any time in iPhone Settings > Notifications > VidPlus, or from the Settings tab in the app.
  • Photos. You can remove VidPlus's permission to save to Photos in iPhone Settings > Privacy & Security > Photos.
  • Ads. VidPlus Pro removes all ads.
  • Deleting your data on the device. Deleting the app removes everything stored on your iPhone, including downloaded videos kept inside the app and the device ID. Videos you saved to Photos stay in Photos until you delete them there.

6. How long we keep information

  • Install and open counts, with country and device ID: for as long as VidPlus is offered.
  • Push tokens: until the token becomes invalid or you turn notifications off, or for as long as VidPlus is offered.
  • Support messages: for as long as needed to answer your request, and up to 2 years after.
  • Purchase records: for as long as needed to provide Pro and to meet legal and tax obligations.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to or restrict its use, and to withdraw consent. To make a request, email help@vidplus.io. Because VidPlus has no accounts, we may need to ask for details that help us find your data.

If you are in the EEA or the UK, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

8. International transfers

Our server and our service providers may process information in countries other than the one you live in, including Singapore and the United States. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for these transfers.

9. Children

VidPlus is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, email help@vidplus.io and we will delete it.

10. Security

Connections between the app and our server are encrypted (HTTPS). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the app or the law changes. We will post the new version on this page and change the effective date above. If the changes are significant, we will give notice in the app.
