Your viewing experience. Your privacy. Both vertical, both protected.

Welcome to VertiView (“we”, “our”, or “us”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our mobile application to stream short, vertical dramas. By using VertiView, you agree to the practices detailed below.

1. Information We Collect

To deliver a personalized short drama experience, VertiView may collect:

• Account Information: When you create a profile, we collect your name, email address, or social login details (Google/Apple ID).
• Viewing & Interaction Data: Which dramas and episodes you watch, watch duration, likes, shares, and search queries to improve recommendations.
• Device & Technical Data: Device model, OS version, IP address, unique advertising identifiers (IDFA/AAID), and crash diagnostics.
• Optional Permissions: With your consent, we may access:
  • Storage: To cache episodes for offline viewing.
  • Notifications: To send alerts about new episode releases or personalized picks.

Note VertiView does not collect sensitive data like precise location, biometrics, or contacts without explicit opt‑in.

2. How We Use Your Information

• Personalized Drama Feed: Curate trending vertical series and “For You” recommendations based on your watching habits.
• Streaming & Offline Access: Enable smooth playback and episode caching for offline viewing.
• Account Management: Maintain watch history, continue watching list, and subscription details.

• Analytics & Improvement: Analyze aggregated trends to fix bugs, enhance streaming quality, and optimize the app.

3. Data Sharing & Third Parties

We share data only as necessary to operate VertiView:

• Service Providers: Trusted partners for cloud hosting, video CDN, analytics (Firebase), and customer support. They process data under strict contracts.
• Advertising Partners: For ad‑supported content, we may share advertising identifiers to serve relevant ads. You can opt out via device settings.

We never sell your email, watch history, or personal profile information.

• Viewing History: Stored for continuity; you can clear history within app settings.
• Analytics Data: Kept in anonymized form for up to 26 months.
• Security: We use encryption (TLS/SSL) and access controls. No system is 100% secure, but we continuously strive to protect your data.

5. Your Rights & Choices

• Access & Correction: Update profile information directly in the VertiView app.
• Data Deletion: Request account and data deletion via email; we will comply within legal timeframes.
• Personalization Opt‑Out: Disable personalized recommendations or targeted ads through device settings (e.g., “Limit Ad Tracking” on iOS).
• Notification Control: Manage push notification preferences in the app or device OS.

6. Children’s Privacy

VertiView is intended for a general audience but is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in certain regions). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us immediately at davisjacobthomas4@gmail.com so we can remove it.

7. International Data Transfers

VertiView operates globally, and your data may be processed in countries outside your residence. We ensure appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) are in place to protect your information.

8. Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may revise this policy to reflect new features or legal requirements. We will notify you via in‑app notice or email before changes become effective. The “Last Updated” date indicates the latest revision.
