Privacy policy

Your videos, sound and captions

The clips you caption, their sound, the captions and the styles you make never leave your phone. They are not sent to us or to anyone else. There is no account and nothing to sign in to.

The app can open only the clips you pick in the system's photo picker. Exported videos are saved to your gallery in Movies/Subtivu; subtitle files are saved where you choose. Deleting a project deletes the captions and the still the app kept for it; your original video stays in your gallery.

Language packs

Languages come in packs that you download through Google Play, the same way the app itself is installed. Google Play sees that a pack was downloaded, as it does for any app download. Nothing about your clips goes with it.

Advertising

Subtivu is free and shows ads through Google AdMob: a banner on the projects list and at most one ad while a video exports. To show and measure ads, the AdMob software in the app collects device identifiers (such as the advertising ID), approximate location derived from your IP address, and app interaction and performance data. This is collected by Google, not by us, and handled under Google's privacy policy.

Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, the UK and some US states), the app asks for your choice before any ad is requested, and you can change it at any time in the app under Settings, Privacy, Ad privacy choices. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's settings.

Remove ads subscription

The optional subscription that removes ads is bought, paid and managed through Google Play. We never see your payment details, your name or your Google account. The app asks Google Play only whether the subscription is active, and turns the ads off while it is. You can cancel at any time in Google Play, under Payments and subscriptions.

Errors

When something goes wrong, the app counts it in a log that stays on your phone. It is not sent anywhere. Crash reports you may see in Google Play come from Google Play's own crash reporting, if you allowed it on your phone.

Feedback by email

If you use Send feedback, your mail app opens a message to us with the app version, the phone model and the Android version filled in. You see it before it is sent, and we receive only what you send. We use it to answer you and to fix the app.

What we collect

Nothing of our own. Subtivu has no server, no analytics and no account. The only parties involved are Google (ads, Google Play downloads and payments) as described above, and us if you email us.

Backup

Projects are not included in Android backup: each one points at a video in this phone's gallery, which a restore onto another phone would not bring along.

Children

Subtivu is not directed at children under 13.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version is published on this page with a new date.
