Last updated: June 16, 2026

Status Downloader ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and website (collectively, the "Service").

By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Personal Information: When you sign in with Google, we collect your email address and display name. This is used solely for authentication and to associate your favorites and activity with your account.

Usage Data: We collect anonymous usage statistics to improve the app, including feature interactions and crash reports. No personally identifiable information is included.

Device Storage: The app accesses your device storage to save downloaded statuses and videos. We do not upload or transmit your files without your explicit action (e.g., when you share a video).

2. How We Use Your Information

• To provide, operate, and maintain the Service
• To authenticate your account and sync your favorites across devices
• To improve, personalize, and expand the Service
• To communicate with you for support or updates
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues and fraud

3. Firebase & Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Firebase Authentication — for Google sign-in and email-link authentication
• Firebase Realtime Database — to store your favorites, likes, comments, and app data
• Firebase Crashlytics — for crash reporting and app stability
• Google AdMob — for serving interstitial ads
• Start.io — for serving banner ads
• ImageKit — for image optimization and CDN delivery of uploaded content

Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing the use of your data.

4. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored securely using Firebase's infrastructure with encryption in transit and at rest. We implement appropriate security measures including Firebase Realtime Database security rules that restrict access based on user authentication and role.

Your downloaded statuses and videos are stored locally on your device and are never uploaded to our servers unless you explicitly choose to upload content to the community platform.

5. Ad Data

We use advertising services that may collect data for ad targeting. This may include device identifiers, location data, and usage patterns. You can opt out of personalized ads through your device settings (Android: Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of personalized ads).
