Video Streamer

Last Updated: June 29, 2026

Summary: Vickerdent respects your privacy. Our Video Streamer application consists of a Mobile App (Android) that streams video/audio and a Desktop Server (Windows) that receives streams. Streaming occurs entirely on your local network. We do not collect personal data, but Google's services (AdMob for ads, Play Billing for purchases) may collect limited data.

1. Introduction

Vickerdent ("we," "our," or "us") operates:

  • Video Streamer Mobile App (Android) - available on Google Play Store
  • Video Streamer Server (Windows Desktop) - available at vickerdent.com

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information across both applications.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

We are committed to privacy-first design. We do not collect, transmit, or store:

  • Personal information (name, email, phone number, address)
  • Video or audio content from your streams
  • IP addresses (except for local network streaming)
  • Device identifiers for tracking
  • Location data
  • Usage analytics or behavioral data
  • Contact lists or other device data

Exception: Google's services (AdMob, Play Billing) may collect limited data as described in Section 6.
