This Privacy Policy explains how Zavi Shorts ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use our mobile application (package ID com.zavishorts.app), website (https://zavishorts.thecodesplitter.com), and related services (collectively, the "Service").
By using the Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
1. Information we collect
Account information
When you create an account, we may collect your email address, username, display name, profile photo, cover image, and bio.
Content you create
Videos, photos, slideshows, captions, comments, likes, bookmarks, and other content you upload or interact with on the Service.
Usage and device data
- App interactions (views, follows, taps)
- Device type, OS version, and approximate diagnostics
- IP address and general location derived from network data
- Crash logs and performance metrics
Media permissions
With your permission, the app may access your camera, microphone, and photo library so you can create and upload shorts. We do not access these sensors without your action.
2. How we use information
- Provide, operate, and improve the Service
- Authenticate users and secure accounts (including email OTP)
- Personalize feeds and recommendations
- Enable social features (follow, like, comment, profile)
- Store and deliver media via trusted cloud providers
- Respond to support requests and enforce our Terms
- Comply with legal obligations
3. How we share information
We may share information with:
- Service providers that help us host media, send email, or run infrastructure (for example cloud storage and database providers), under appropriate safeguards
- Other users, when you publish public profile details or content
- Legal authorities, when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share personal information with third parties for their independent marketing.
4. Data retention
We retain account and content data while your account is active and as needed to operate the Service. You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data as described on our Delete Account page. Some residual logs may be retained for security, fraud prevention, or legal compliance for a limited period.
5. Security
We use industry-standard measures to protect data in transit and at rest. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; please use a strong unique password for your email and keep your device updated.
6. Advertising and revenue sharing
We show advertisements in the Service (including rewarded audio and video ads served by Google AdMob and mediation partners). Ad partners may collect device identifiers and usage data to deliver and measure ads according to their own policies.
We share a portion of advertising revenue with eligible creators based on qualified views (watches of about five seconds or longer). View and engagement metrics used for payouts are stored on our servers. Creating content and using the Service means you acknowledge that ads may be shown and that creator revenue sharing may apply.
7. Children's privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided data, contact us at privacy@zavishorts.com and we will take appropriate action.
8. Your choices and rights
- Update profile information in the app
- Control camera, microphone, and photo permissions in device settings
- Request access, correction, or deletion by emailing privacy@zavishorts.com
- Delete your account using the process at /delete-account
Depending on your location, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws (for example GDPR or CCPA). Contact us to exercise those rights.
9. International transfers
Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for such transfers.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised version on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes means you accept the updated policy.
