1. Introduction

Prism Play (“the App”) is an Android video player designed to help users play and organize supported video files on their devices.

We respect your privacy and aim to minimize the collection of personal information. Prism Play is designed primarily for local media playback, and its core functionality does not require users to create an account or register with an online service.

This Privacy Policy explains how the App accesses, uses, stores, and protects information when you use it.

2. Information We Access and Store

Depending on the features you use, Prism Play may access or store the following information locally on your device.

A. Media Files

With the appropriate permissions or your explicit selection, the App may access supported video files, audio tracks, subtitles, filenames, file locations, durations, and other available media metadata.

This information is used to display your media library and play selected files.

Prism Play does not intentionally upload your personal video files to a developer-controlled server.

B. Playback History and Preferences

The App may store information such as:

• Recently played videos

• Playback positions and resume information

• Favorite videos

• Playlists

• Playback speed preferences

• Subtitle and gesture settings

• Theme and display preferences

• Search history, if enabled

This information is used to provide playback continuity and personalize the App.

C. Private Vault

If the private vault feature is available and you choose to use it, the App may store media you explicitly import into the vault.

The vault's actual security protections depend on the implementation included in the installed version. If encryption and authentication are implemented, the App will use those mechanisms to protect vault content.

Users should review the in-app vault information before importing important files. Losing encryption keys, uninstalling the App, or clearing application data may make protected content unrecoverable, depending on the implementation.

D. Information Collected Automatically

The core offline version is intended to operate without a developer-controlled account system or mandatory analytics service.

If a future version includes advertising, analytics, crash-reporting tools, or other third-party SDKs, those services may collect technical or usage information according to their configurations and applicable privacy disclosures.

Any such collection must be reflected in an updated Privacy Policy and the relevant Google Play disclosures.

3. How We Use Information

Information accessed or stored by Prism Play may be used to:

• Play supported media files.

• Display and organize your video library.

• Remember playback positions.

• Maintain playlists and favorites.

• Apply your playback and subtitle preferences.

• Provide private vault functionality, if implemented.

• Diagnose technical problems, if a diagnostic service is included.

• Improve app reliability and usability where permitted.

The App should access only the information reasonably needed to provide the features you choose to use.

4. Local Storage and Data Processing

Prism Play is designed to store its core library information, playback history, and preferences locally on your device.

Local information may be stored using Android-supported storage mechanisms, including app-private storage, a local database, and preference storage.

Files selected through Android's file picker may remain in their original locations unless you explicitly choose an operation that copies or imports them.

The App does not require an online account to use its core local playback features.

Device backups, operating-system behavior, and any optional third-party services may affect where information is stored. Users should consult their device settings and the disclosures for any optional services.

5. Permissions

Prism Play may request permissions or user-granted access to perform particular functions.

Depending on the version and features enabled, these may include:

• Media access: To discover and play supported media on your device, where required.

• Selected file or folder access: To open media or subtitle files that you choose.

• Notification permission: If notifications are used for supported playback or other user-facing functions on applicable Android versions.

• Other permissions: Only where necessary for a feature that is actually implemented.

Permissions are used for their stated purposes. You can manage available permissions through your Android device settings.

Revoking access may prevent the App from opening certain files or displaying parts of your media library.

6. Sharing and Disclosure

Prism Play's core offline functionality does not require the developer to receive your media files, playback history, or personal library information.

We do not sell your personal information.

If optional third-party services are introduced, certain technical information may be shared with those providers to deliver the relevant functionality. Any such sharing must be disclosed accurately, including the provider's role and the applicable privacy terms.

Information may also be disclosed where required by applicable law or a valid legal process.

7. Third-Party Services

The App may rely on Android platform components and third-party libraries to provide playback, storage, and other functionality.

The core offline player is intended to function without mandatory cloud services.

If advertising, analytics, crash reporting, casting, or network-based features are added, those integrations may be governed by their providers' privacy policies and terms.

Relevant third-party privacy information should be listed here before release whenever such services are included.

8. Data Security

We aim to protect information handled by the App through appropriate technical and organizational measures.

Depending on the implementation, these may include:

• Using Android app-private storage for internal application data.

• Restricting access to user-selected media.

• Avoiding unnecessary network transmission.

• Protecting sensitive vault content with appropriate encryption, if implemented.

• Keeping dependencies and the application updated.

No software or storage method can guarantee absolute security.

Users should keep their devices updated and take care when sharing devices or granting access to files.

9. Data Retention and Deletion

Playback history, preferences, playlists, favorites, cached metadata, and other local information may remain on the device until removed.

Depending on the available features, users may be able to clear playback history, remove favorites, reset preferences, or clear cached data through the App.

Uninstalling Prism Play generally removes app-private data, subject to Android behavior, backup settings, and the location of user files.

Media files stored outside the App's private storage are not necessarily deleted when the App is uninstalled.

Before deleting the App or clearing its data, review any private vault recovery warnings and back up files you wish to keep.

10. Children's Privacy

Prism Play is a general-purpose media player and is not specifically designed to collect personal information from children.

The App should not knowingly collect children's personal information through its own services unless such collection is appropriately disclosed and handled in accordance with applicable law.

If optional third-party SDKs are introduced, their suitability and compliance requirements must be reviewed before release.

11. International Users

Prism Play may be distributed in different countries. Privacy rights and legal requirements vary by location.

Where applicable, users may have rights to access, correct, delete, or otherwise exercise control over personal information processed by the developer or its service providers.

Because the core App is designed for local processing, many library and playback records can be managed directly on the user's device.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when the App's functionality, integrations, or legal requirements change.

The updated policy will display a revised effective date. Material changes should be communicated through an appropriate method when required.

Users should review this page periodically.
