Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Device and app data: device model, operating system, app or browser version, language settings, and technical identifiers used for compatibility, security, and troubleshooting.

Usage data: pages or screens viewed, titles played, search queries, favorites, watch progress, timestamps, and interaction events that help us understand how the Service is used.

Account and transaction data: guest or signed-in identifiers, purchase history, VIP status, coin balance, and records needed to deliver paid features.

Support and feedback: messages you send through Feedback or Community tools, along with any details you choose to include.

Approximate location: derived from IP address or device settings when needed for content availability, fraud prevention, or legal compliance. We do not continuously track precise GPS location unless a feature you enable requires it.

2. How We Collect Information

We collect information directly when you use the Service, create or restore an account, make a purchase, save favorites, or contact support.

We also collect information automatically through server logs, cookies, and similar technologies described below.

If you sign in through a third-party platform where supported, we may receive basic profile details authorized by that platform.

3. How We Use Information

Provide and personalize the Service, including playback, recommendations, language preferences, and resume watching.

Process payments, deliver VIP or coin unlocks, prevent fraud, and maintain transaction records.

Operate support, respond to feedback, and send service-related notices about changes, security, or billing.

Measure performance, debug errors, analyze trends, and develop new features.

Respond to copyright or legal notices and comply with legal obligations.

Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information with service providers that help us host infrastructure, process payments, deliver analytics, send notifications, or provide customer support. These providers may access data only to perform services for us and must protect it appropriately.

We may disclose information when required by law, to respond to valid legal requests (including DMCA or other copyright notices), to protect users and the public, or to investigate misuse of the Service.

If the Service is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer, information may move to the successor entity subject to this Policy or a successor notice.

Non-identifiable or aggregated statistics may be shared to understand usage patterns.

5. Third-Party Streaming and External Services

When you initiate playback, your browser or device may connect directly to third-party hosts to retrieve video streams, images, or related assets. Those hosts operate independently and may collect technical data such as IP address, device type, and viewing activity under their own privacy policies.

ShortDramaBase does not control how third-party streaming providers process data. We encourage you to review the policies of any external service you access through a link on the Service.

We may use proxy or relay mechanisms in limited cases to improve compatibility or security. Such processing is limited to delivering the requested stream and does not constitute permanent storage of video content on our systems.

6. Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies, local storage, and similar tools to remember settings, keep sessions active, measure traffic, and improve reliability. You can limit cookies through browser settings, though some features may not work correctly if you disable them.

We may use analytics partners to understand app performance and marketing effectiveness. Those partners process data under their own policies when they act as independent controllers.

7. Retention and Security

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the Service, maintain accounts, resolve disputes, meet legal requirements, and improve security. When data is no longer required, we delete or anonymize it where feasible.

We apply reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards. No online system is completely secure, so please protect your device and avoid sharing sensitive credentials in public channels.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or export personal information, or to object to certain processing such as direct marketing.

You can manage some preferences in the Service, such as language, notifications where available, and cookie settings in your browser.

To exercise privacy rights, contact us at [email protected], through Feedback in the app, or the Community page. We may need to verify your request and may retain limited records where the law requires.

9. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a minor has provided data to us, please contact us at [email protected] so we can take appropriate steps to remove it.

10. International Processing

Information may be stored or processed in countries other than where you live. When we transfer data internationally, we take steps designed to provide appropriate protection consistent with applicable law.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when it was revised. Material changes will be communicated through the Service where appropriate. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised Policy.
