* We also use third party analytics tools like Firebase and collect data about what users search, watch, download etc. This data is not used for any targeting or recommendations, neither is it shared with any other sdks. It is also not linked to any personal info like email address or IP address. The purpose of such analysis is knowing what is trending in various regions and for improving user experience.

Like any other popular application, Videoder uses a lot of third party SDKs to provide many functionalities. For example Videoder uses many ad network SDKs to provide in app ads for revenue.  We do not explicitly provide any private information to any of these third party SDK.

Since these SDKs are bundled with the application and have access to all the permissions granted to Videoder, many of them collect information for identifying users and then targeting them with relevant content. For example Ad networks SDKs generally collect Google Advertiser ID to better target users with relevant ads. We at Videoder have made sure that all the SDKs we use in our app are legally compliant with Privacy laws across the globe, including the new GDPR implemented in EU region. The sdks included in the application and links to their privacy policies are provided below :
