Privacy Policy & Terms of Service

Last Updated: November 2026 • Developed by SoftTech Service

      Privacy Summary: LiteTube does not sell, rent, or monetize your personal information. Video watch progress, playlists, and settings are stored locally on your device. We respect user privacy, minimal data footprint, and device battery life.
    

1. Information We Collect

LiteTube operates as a lightweight client for video media playback and discovery:

Local Data on Device: Watch history, Continue Watching timestamps, locally created playlists, and app preferences (such as default playback resolution and mini-player preferences) remain on your local Android storage. They are never transmitted to our servers.
Network Requests: When searching or streaming videos, network requests are made directly to relevant content source APIs or media endpoints to fetch feeds, thumbnails, and stream manifests.
Diagnostic & Crash Reports: Anonymous crash and performance metrics may be collected via Google Play Console services to fix errors and ensure app stability across different Android versions.

2. Android Permissions Used

LiteTube asks only for permissions required to deliver video playback features:

INTERNET & ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Needed to retrieve video streams, thumbnails, live TV feeds, and category data.
FOREGROUND_SERVICE & WAKE_LOCK: Needed exclusively to support Background Audio playback when the screen is locked, or while multitasking in PiP mode.
PICTURE-IN-PICTURE (PiP): System permission allowing you to continue watching in a floating mini-player.
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE / DOWNLOADS (Optional): Only accessed if you explicitly save or download media for offline playback when supported by the content provider.

3. Third-Party Services & APIs

LiteTube interfaces with media content providers and Android platform libraries (such as Google Play Services and ExoPlayer). Each third-party provider processes data according to their own privacy policies and terms of service. LiteTube does not inject tracking pixels or third-party behavioral profiling code.

4. Children's Privacy

LiteTube does not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children under the age of 13.

5. Security & Data Retention

Because your watch history and playlists are stored locally on your Android device, you retain total control over your data. Clearing app cache or data in Android Settings instantly deletes all stored records.

6. Terms of Service & Fair Use

LiteTube is provided for personal, non-commercial entertainment and media playback use. You agree not to use LiteTube in violation of any applicable local or international laws, intellectual property rights, or content provider terms of service.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

The application is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranty of any kind. SoftTech Service makes no guarantees regarding the continuous uptime or availability of specific external third-party media streams.
