1. Introduction and Overview

1.1 Purpose of the Policy

This Privacy Policy (hereinafter referred to as “This Policy”) is designed to explain to you how the NetoWatch video playback application (hereinafter referred to as “This Application” or “NetoWatch”) collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects your personal information, as well as your rights and applicable choices regarding your information. We understand the importance of personal information to you and will treat your information security and privacy interests with high discretion.

1.2 Applicability Scope

This policy applies to you accessing and using all product features and services provided by NetoWatch via mobile devices, tablets or other compatible terminals, including but not limited to functional modules such as local video import, multi-format HD playback, playback progress tracking, playlist management, playback speed adjustment, and video library organization.

1.3 Policy Confirmation and Consent

Be sure to carefully read and fully understand the full content of this Policy before you first launch this App or use any of its core features. Once you begin using this App, you have read, understood, and agreed to accept the constraints of this Policy. If you do not agree to any of the terms of this Policy, please immediately stop downloading, installing, or using this App.

1.4 International Compliance Position

This App is aimed at providing services to users globally, and we are committed to following applicable data protection laws and regulations and international common privacy practices, including but not limited to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the US California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and other applicable jurisdiction’s data protection requirements.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information you voluntarily provide

2.1.1 Local Video Files

When you select and import a video file (such as MP4, MKV, AVI, etc.) into your device through the System File Manager, the file is read and loaded into the video library of this application. We only access the relevant video content after you actively choose to import, and we do not scan or upload all media files from your device without your action.

2.1.2 Video Metadata and Playback Preferences

This app can read basic metadata about video files, such as filename, duration, resolution, encoding format, and file size, to present clear list information to you in the video library. Favorite markers, playlist classification, and rename actions you set for videos are all saved locally.

2.1.3 Playback Progress and History

When you’re watching a video, this application locally records your playback progress, the last time you watched, and where you watched it, so you can quickly resume playing the next time you open it. This type of playback history data is only stored locally on your device and is not uploaded to our servers.

2.2.1 Device and Log Information

To ensure stable application operation and troubleshooting, we may automatically collect a limited number of device and usage log information, including device model, operating system version, application version number, crash logs, application runtime duration, feature click events, and failure stack information. This information is used to diagnose technical issues, optimize the product experience, and is not directly associated with your identity.

2.2.2 Performance and Diagnostic Data

We may collect aggregated application performance metrics, such as video decoding success rate, playback freeze frequency, import-export time, and double-speed switching response time, to continuously improve the playback experience and product performance.

2.3 Information We Do Not Collect

This App does not require you to register an account or provide an identity ID such as your real name, mobile phone number, email address, etc. to use all core functions. Unless you actively communicate with us through your contact email address, we will not actively obtain your identity information. We also do not collect device contacts, SMS messages, precise location information, or photo library content that is not related to video playback functions.

3.1 Providing Core Functional Services

We use your video files, metadata, and playback progress information to enable core functions such as local video import, multi-format HD decoding playback, playback history and continuation, playlist creation and management (renaming, deleting, adding), playback speed adjustment, sequential or random playback, and video library organization. All of these processing activities are performed locally on your device.

3.2 Improving the Product and User Experience

Based on aggregated, de-identified performance and log data, we analyze high-frequency feature usage, common failure points, decoding performance of video in different formats, and playback performance bottlenecks to optimize interface interactions, improve decoding smoothness, fix known defects, and extend supported video formats.

3.3 Ensuring Security and Compliance Operations

We may use log information to monitor malicious behavior, abuse, and technical security threats to ensure the security and reliability of the application ecosystem. Such use is strictly limited to security protection purposes and will not be used to build user profiles or deliver personalized ads.

3.4 Legal Base

In jurisdictions where applicable data protection laws require providing a legal basis, the bases for our processing of the above information include: fulfilling the service contract with you (providing video playback and management functions), our legitimate interests (assuring application security and improving products), and obtaining your explicit consent where applicable.

4.1 Local Processing Principles

At the outset of its design, NetoWatch follows the principle of “data localization.” By default, your imported video files, playback progress, playlists, favorites, and video library data are stored only locally on your device and will not be uploaded to our remote servers without your active action.

4.2 No Selling to Third Parties

We will not sell, rent or transact your personal information or video content in any form to any third party for their own independent commercial marketing purposes.

4.3 Limited Service Provider Sharing

We may transmit de-identified diagnostic data to strictly evaluated third-party technical service providers only when necessary for implementing technical services such as application crash reporting, performance monitoring, etc. Such providers may only process the data as directed by us, assume confidentiality and security obligations no less than required by this Policy, and may not use the data for their own purposes.

4.4 Disclosure as required by law

In the following circumstances, we may believe in good faith that it is necessary to disclose relevant information: (1) to comply with mandatory requirements of applicable laws, regulations, legal procedures, or governmental authorities; (2) to enforce the terms of this policy or service agreement; (3) to respond to claims of infringement of rights, property, or security against this application or other users; and (4) to prevent immediate personal harm or illegal activities facing us, our users, or the public.

4.5 Business Transfer

If this App involves a transaction such as a merger, acquisition, asset restructuring, or bankruptcy settlement, the relevant user information may be transferred as part of the transaction assets. We will notify you of the transfer through in-app notification or significant notice prior to the transfer, and apply the new subject’s privacy policy.

5.1 Security Measures

We adopt industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification, or destruction, including but not limited to: encrypted channels for data transfer links, secure storage of sensitive data locally, application principles of minimum application permissions, and strict internal access controls.

5.2 Minimizing Permissions

This application requests only the system permissions necessary to implement the functionality. For example, when importing videos, obtain individual file access permissions through the system file selector instead of reading the entire media library at once; read the corresponding directory only when you actively browse folders. You can view and revoke granted permissions at any time through your device’s system settings.

5.3 Security Incident Response

Although we take reasonable and feasible measures to protect your information, please understand that no electronic storage or transmission method can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure. In the event of a data breach, security vulnerability, or accidental disclosure involving your personal information, we will initiate a response process within the time limits required by law and inform you via in-app notification or email about the nature of the incident, its possible impact, and the response measures taken.

6.1 Local Data Retention

Your video file references, playback progress, playlists, favorite recordings, and video library metadata are all kept locally on your device for the amount of time you determine. These data will remain on your device as long as you don’t delete the related recordings or uninstall this app.

6.2 Diagnostic Data Retention

Deidentified crash logs and performance statistics are retained only for the reasonable period necessary to achieve diagnostic and improvement purposes, usually no more than twelve months, after which they are automatically deleted or irreversibly anonymized.

6.3 Your right to delete

You can rename videos or remove them from the video library at any time within the app; press and hold the playlist to delete or edit the list. Uninstalling this app also deletes all playback history and preferences stored in the app’s private directory. Note that removing videos from the video library does not automatically delete the original video files on the device.

6.4 Account Logout

Since this application does not require an account to register, you do not need an additional sign-out process. If you need to completely clear all data related to the application, simply delete the application and clear its cache.

7.1 Access and Correction

You have access to all video lists, playback progress, playlists, and favorites saved in the app, and can edit and correct video names, playlist names, and classifications at any time. All edits take effect locally and immediately.

7.2 Deletion and Restriction Processing

You have the right to delete any playback history, playlists or video library entries, and to clear all continuation progress. To the extent permitted by law, you can also request to restrict our further processing of your de-identified diagnostic data.

7.3 Portability of Data

Your video files themselves are stored on your local device in a generic format, and you have the freedom to manage your playlists and favorite information. You can access, back up, or transfer your video files at any time through the System File Manager, without our additional restrictions.

7.4 Denial and withdrawal of consent

If certain features depend on your specific rights or consent to operate, you have the right to refuse or withdraw that consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the legality of processing activities that were initiated based on consent prior to the withdrawal, but may result in the proper use of the corresponding features not being possible.

7.5 Complaints and Claims

If you believe that our processing of your personal information violates applicable data protection laws or the terms of this Policy, you have the right to file a complaint or complaint with the data protection regulator in your jurisdiction.
