If you use our services (including all the new services, we will roll out in the future) you are agreeing to share the required information for us to run our services. We understand your privacy needs so we want to be upfront about the information we collect, how we use it, whom we share it with, and the choices you have to control, access, and update your information.
That’s why we’ve written this privacy policy. And it’s why we’ve tried to write it in a way that’s blissfully free of the legalese that often clouds these documents. Of course, if you still have questions about anything in our privacy policy, then just contact us.
Information We Collect
There are three basic ways we collect information:
Information you choose to give us,
Information we get when you use our services,
Information we get from third parties,

If you have any question regarding Facebooks privacy, then please visit the Facebook privacy policy center. We abide by the rules setup by Facebook and keep your account safe from any threat.

We collect device-specific information, such as the hardware model, operating system version, advertising identifier, unique application identifiers, unique device identifiers, browser type, language, wireless network, and mobile network information (including the mobile phone number).

For example, if another user allows us to collect information from their device phonebook—and you’re one of that user’s contacts—we may combine the information we collect from that user’s phonebook with other information we have collected about you. We may also obtain information from other companies that are owned or operated by us, or any other third-party sources, and combine that with the information we collect through our services.
What is the purpose of collecting this information?-
We collect this information to provide you with the best service there is on the internet. With this information we improve the usability of the app for you and make it the smoothest experience it possibly can.

Personalize the services by, among other things, suggesting friends or profile information, or customizing the content we show you, including ads. Enhanced safety and security of our products and services.
Verify your identity and prevent fraud or other unauthorized or illegal activity.
We mostly store the information on your device locally so that all the information is safe with you and with you only. Plus, it will allow the app to run quicker and smoother.
How We Share Information-
We may share information about you in the following ways:
With other users.
We may share the following information with other users:
information about you, such as your username and name;
information about how you have interacted with the services, such as the names of users you are friends with, and other information that will help users understand your connections with others using the services. For example, because it may not be clear whether a new friend request comes from someone you actually know, we may share whether you and the requestor have VidShow friends in common and any additional information you have consented for us to share. For example, when you let us access your device phonebook, we may share information about you with other users who have your phone number in their device phonebook;
With all users and the general public.
We may share the following information with all users as well as the general public:
Public information like your profile pictures that you submit to Local. If a Local service is streamed on the web or broadcast in some other media, it may be viewed by the public at large.
With our affiliates, we may share information with entities within the VidShow family of company.
With third parties, we may share your information with the following third parties:
With service providers, sellers, and partners. We may share information about you with service providers who perform services on our behalf, sellers that provide goods through our services, and business partners that provide services and functionality.

comply with any valid legal process, government request, or applicable law, rule, or regulation;
investigate, remedy, or enforce potential Terms of Service violations;
protect the rights, property, and safety of us, our users, or others; or
detect and resolve any fraud or security concerns
With third parties as part of a merger or acquisition.

In the aggregate or after de-identification. We may also share with third parties, such as advertisers, aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.
Information You Choose to Share with Third Parties-
The services may also contain third-party links and search results, include third-party integrations, or be a co-branded or third-party-branded service that’s being provided jointly with or by another company. By going to those links, using the third-party integration, or using a co-branded or third-party-branded service, you may be providing information (including personal information) directly to the third party, us, or both. You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for how those third parties collect or use your information. As always, we encourage you to review the privacy policies of every third-party website or service that you visit or use, including those third parties you interact with through our services.
How Long We Keep Your Content-
VidShow lets you text friends in chatroom. On our end, that means that we automatically delete the content (the photo and video messages that you send your friends) from our servers.
FINALLY—AND THIS IS IMPORTANT—YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT USERS WHO SEE THE CONTENT YOU PROVIDE CAN ALWAYS SAVE IT USING ANY NUMBER OF TECHNIQUES: SCREENSHOTS, IN-APP FUNCTIONALITY, OR ANY OTHER IMAGE-CAPTURE TECHNOLOGY. IT’S ALSO POSSIBLE, AS WITH ANY DIGITAL INFORMATION, THAT SOMEONE MIGHT BE ABLE TO ACCESS MESSAGES FORENSICALLY OR FIND THEM IN A DEVICE’S TEMPORARY STORAGE. KEEP IN MIND THAT, WHILE OUR SYSTEMS ARE DESIGNED TO CARRY OUT OUR DELETION PRACTICES AUTOMATICALLY, WE CANNOT PROMISE THAT DELETION WILL OCCUR WITHIN A SPECIFIC TIMEFRAME. AND WE MAY ALSO RETAIN CERTAIN INFORMATION IN BACKUP FOR A LIMITED PERIOD OF TIME OR AS REQUIRED BY LAW.
Control over Your Information-
We want you to be in control of your information, so we provide you with the following tools.
Access and Updates-
We strive to let you access and update most of the personal information that we have about you. There are limits though to the requests we’ll accommodate. We may reject a request for a number of reasons, including, for example, that the request risks the privacy of other users, requires technical efforts that are disproportionate to the request, is repetitive, or is unlawful. You can access and update most of your basic account information right in the app by visiting the app’s Settings page. If you need to access, update, or delete any other personal information that we may have, you can put in a request here. Because your privacy is important to us, we may ask you to verify your identity or provide additional information before we let you access or update your personal information. We will try to update and access your information for free, but if it would require a disproportionate effort on our part, we may charge a fee. We will of course disclose the fee before we comply with your request.
Revoking Permissions-
If you change your mind about our ongoing ability to collect information from certain sources that you have already consented to, such as your phonebook, camera, photos, or location services, you can simply revoke your consent by changing the settings on your device if your device offers those options. Of course, if you do that, certain services may lose full functionality.

We may let other companies(ads) use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies on the services. These companies may collect information about how you use the services and other websites and online services over time and across different services. This information may be used to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, and better understand your online activity.
Additionally, some companies may use the information they collect on our services to deliver targeted advertisements on behalf of us or other companies, including on third-party websites and apps. Children
Our services are not intended for—and we don’t direct them to—anyone under 17. And that’s why we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 17.

Sometimes, we’ll let you know by revising the date at the top of the privacy policy that’s available on our mobile application. Other times, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement by providing you with an in-app notification).
