Introduction
RH Studio ("we," "us," "our") develops Status Saver & Video Splitter (the "App"), an Android application distributed via Google Play and other authorized app stores. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App accesses, how it is used, and the choices available to you as a user.
By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
Information We Collect
The App is built around local, on-device functionality. We have designed it to minimize data collection wherever possible.
Media Content
The App reads status-type media (photos and videos) that is already cached locally on your device by compatible messaging apps, as well as media you explicitly select for video splitting or for storage in the Private Vault. This media is processed entirely on your device. The App does not upload, transmit, or copy your photos, videos, or any media content to our servers or to any external server. We have no access to, and do not retain copies of, your saved or split media.
Information Collected Automatically
The App itself does not operate its own analytics or crash-reporting servers. However, third-party services embedded in the App — described in Section 5 — may automatically collect limited technical information, such as advertising identifiers and device information, in order to function.
Purchase Information
If you buy the optional ad-removal / premium upgrade, the transaction is handled entirely by Google Play Billing or Amazon In-App Purchasing. We do not receive or store your payment card details; we may receive a non-identifying confirmation that a purchase was completed, used only to unlock the premium features on your device.
We do not require or request an account, sign-in, username, or password to use the App.
How We Use Information
Any information described above is used strictly to:
- Display, save, organize, and split status-type media that already exists locally on your device;
- Secure content you choose to place in the Private Vault behind local device authentication;
- Operate advertising shown within the App and, where applicable, measure basic ad performance;
- Process and validate optional in-app purchases;
- Send optional local notifications when new status content is detected on your device;
- Maintain and improve the stability and functionality of the App.
We do not use your media content for advertising, profiling, or any purpose other than the on-device functionality you request.
Permissions the App Requests
The App follows a minimal-permission approach. Depending on your Android version, it may request:
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Storage / Media access | To read locally cached status content, save chosen media, organize your library, and perform video splitting. |
| Notifications | Optional. Used only to alert you when new status content becomes available on your device. You may disable this at any time in system settings. |
Third-Party Services
The App integrates a small number of third-party SDKs that operate under their own privacy policies. These providers may independently collect limited technical data as described below.
Google AdMob (Advertising)
The App displays advertising (App Open, Banner, Interstitial, and Rewarded ad formats) via Google AdMob. AdMob may collect information such as your advertising ID, device type and operating system version, general (non-precise) location inferred from IP address, app usage and interaction data, and ad performance data, in order to serve and measure ads, including personalized ads where permitted. You can review Google's practices in the Google Privacy Policy and manage ad personalization through your device's Settings (Google > Ads).
Google Play Billing / Amazon In-App Purchasing
Optional premium purchases are processed by the app store's own billing system (Google Play Billing on Google Play, or Amazon In-App Purchasing on the Amazon Appstore). These providers handle payment details directly and act as independent data controllers for that transaction data; we do not access or store your payment information.
We do not control how these third parties process data beyond what is described in their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them directly.
Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your media content with anyone, because it never leaves your device through the App. Limited technical data described in Section 5 is shared only with the advertising and billing providers necessary to operate those features, and, where legally required, with authorities to comply with applicable law, enforce our Terms & Conditions, or protect the rights, safety, or property of RH Studio or others.
Data Security & the Private Vault
Because media processing happens entirely on your device, the security of your saved content depends largely on your own device's security. The App's Private Vault feature lets you lock selected photos and videos behind your device's local authentication (fingerprint or PIN/passcode as configured in your device settings). This authentication is verified by your device's operating system; the App does not receive, transmit, or store your biometric data or PIN.
We recommend keeping your device's operating system and lock-screen security up to date, as no method of on-device storage can be guaranteed 100% secure.
Children's Privacy (COPPA)
The App is not directed to, and is not intended for use by, children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us at riderhunter301@gmail.com so we can investigate and take appropriate action, including deletion of such information where applicable.
GDPR & Your Rights (International Users)
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with similar data protection laws, you may have rights including the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability, where applicable. Because the App does not require an account and does not store your media on our servers, most of these rights are exercised directly on your device (for example, by deleting media or uninstalling the App). For anything relating to third-party SDK data (Section 5), you may also exercise applicable rights directly with those providers or contact us for assistance.
Where consent is the legal basis for any data processing (such as personalized advertising), you may withdraw that consent at any time through your device's ad settings or, where a consent prompt is shown in the App, through that prompt.
Data Retention
Media you save or organize using the App remains on your device until you delete it yourself or uninstall the App. We do not retain copies of your media. Technical data collected by third-party SDKs (Section 5) is retained by those providers according to their own retention policies.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the App's functionality or legal requirements. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date below. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
