- We don't ask for accounts and don't collect your personal information.
- Your videos, library, and watch history stay entirely on your device and are never uploaded to us.
- Ads and anonymous crash/usage analytics are provided by Google services described below.
Information we do not collect
We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, location, files, or any account data — because LumenPlayer has no accounts. No server of ours ever receives your media.
Data collected by third-party SDKs
LumenPlayer uses a small number of Google services to keep the app free and reliable:
- Google AdMob — serves ads in the app. AdMob may collect your advertising ID, device information, and coarse ad-serving data. See Google's Privacy Policy and Ads Policy.
- Firebase Analytics — collects anonymous usage events (like feature taps and app opens) to help us understand which features are useful.
- Firebase Crashlytics — collects crash logs, device model, and OS version to help us fix bugs.
These services help fund a free app, improve stability, and improve features. You can reset or delete your Advertising ID, and opt out of ads personalization, in your Android system settings.
App-specific data handling
LumenPlayer indexes videos already on your device to build your local library. Your watch history, favorites, playlists, resume positions, and private-folder settings are stored locally only, on your device, and are deleted when you clear the app's data or uninstall it. Private folders simply hide selected files within the app's interface — they do not send anything to us or anywhere else.
Permissions we request and why
- Media access — to find and index the videos on your device so they appear in your library.
- Notifications — to show playback controls while a video is playing in the background or in Picture-in-Picture.
LumenPlayer does not request camera, microphone, contacts, or location access.
Children's privacy
LumenPlayer is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.
Data retention & deletion
We hold no user data ourselves. Data collected by Google's SDKs is governed by Google's own retention policies. Uninstalling the app removes all local app data, including your library index, history, and private-folder settings. Because there is no account, there is no account-deletion process to complete.
Ads & purchases
LumenPlayer is free to use and supported by ads. If a one-time "Remove Ads" purchase is offered, it is processed entirely by Google Play — we never see your payment details.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the revised policy.
