Playdabba Video Player & Vault
Last updated: 9 September 2026
Published by Vidya Software Limited.
Playdabba plays video files that are already on your device, and links you paste in yourself. It has no catalogue, no search, no recommendations and no downloader. It never fetches media you did not ask for.
Your videos and photos stay on your device. They are never uploaded anywhere, and nobody at Vidya Software Limited can see them.
| What | Why | Shared with |
|---|---|---|
| Advertising ID and device identifiers | Showing ads and measuring whether they work | Google AdMob1 |
| Actions in the app (a video was played, the vault was set up, the paywall was seen) | Understanding what to build next and whether the app is worth keeping | Nobody |
| Crash reports and performance data | Fixing crashes | Nobody |
| Purchase history | Knowing whether your ad-free subscription is active | Nobody |
| Install source | Knowing which campaign an install came from | Nobody |
1 Also with AppLovin, once it is enabled as an additional advertising partner. Update this line before that happens.
Analytics events carry categories and ranges only — for example "a video between ten and thirty minutes was played". They never carry a file name, a folder name, a link you opened, or anything about what is in the vault.
The free version shows ads, supplied by Google AdMob. Where the law requires it, the app asks for your consent before any advertising data is used, and you can change that answer later from Settings → Privacy options.
An optional subscription removes every ad in the app. It unlocks no content: Playdabba only ever plays what is already on your device or a link you open yourself.
| Permission | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Videos on your device | Listing your videos so you can play them. Nothing else reads them. |
| Selected videos only | If you prefer, you can pick individual videos instead of granting access to all of them. |
| Fingerprint | Unlocking your vault, if you turn that on. Playdabba never receives your fingerprint, only whether it matched. |
| Internet | Playing links you paste, and ads and crash reporting. |
| Notifications | The playback controls in your notification shade. |
Playdabba does not request all-files access, your location, your camera, your microphone, your contacts, or the list of apps on your device.
Playdabba is not directed at children and is rated for adults. Ads are configured to serve no material above a teen rating.
Everything the app stores about your videos lives on your device and is deleted when you uninstall it. To ask for deletion of analytics or crash data associated with your device, email support@vidya.co.il and include your Advertising ID (Settings → Google → Ads on most phones). We will confirm within 30 days.
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes and the new version appears at this address before the change reaches the app.
