VM Player
Privacy policy
Last updated 5 November 2026
VM Player is an Android app made by KayOne. This page says what the app keeps on your phone, what it sends over the internet and to whom, and what you can do about it. It covers the VM Player app and this website.
The short version
- Your videos, music, downloads, browsing history, bookmarks, playlists and private folder stay on your phone. We do not have an account system and we do not receive them.
- The app shows ads from Google AdMob and InMobi. Ad companies use your phone's advertising ID.
- The app sends anonymous usage numbers and crash reports to Google Firebase so we can fix problems.
- Some features you choose to use talk to other services: subtitle search, translation models, casting, and the websites you open.
What stays on your phone
Watch history and resume positions, the list of downloads, browser history, bookmarks, tabs, site settings for Shields, IPTV playlists you add, app settings and the contents of the private folder are stored only in the app's storage on your phone. They are removed when you clear the app's data or uninstall it. Files you download are saved in the folder you choose and stay there until you delete them.
What the app sends, and to whom
| Service | What it receives | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob and InMobi | Advertising ID, device and app information, approximate location from your IP address, how you interact with ads | To show ads, measure them and prevent fraud |
| Google Firebase Analytics | App events such as which screens are opened, app instance ID, device model, Android version, country | To understand which features are used |
| Google Firebase Crashlytics | Crash and error reports with device state at the time of the crash | To find and fix crashes |
| Google Firebase Realtime Database and App Check | A request for the latest app information, and a Play Integrity check that the request comes from the genuine app | To tell you about updates and protect the service from abuse |
| Google Play (in-app review and update) | Handled by the Google Play app | To let you rate the app and install updates |
| OpenSubtitles | The name of the video you search subtitles for, and its language | Only when you search for subtitles |
| Google ML Kit | A request to download a translation model. The subtitle text is translated on your phone and is not sent | Only when you translate a subtitle |
| Websites you open | What any browser sends: your IP address, the address you visit, cookies that site sets | When you browse or download |
Each of these companies handles data under its own privacy policy: Google, InMobi, OpenSubtitles.
Features on your own Wi-Fi
Casting to a TV (VM Cast and DLNA) and sending a video to a phone nearby work on your local network. The video goes straight from your phone to the TV or the other phone and does not pass through our servers. For nearby sending the app runs a small temporary server on your phone that stops when you close the sending screen.
Permissions
- Videos and audio, to show and play the media on your phone.
- All files access, asked for only when you use something that needs it: deleting or renaming files, opening ZIP and RAR archives, or the private folder.
- Notifications, to show download progress and playback controls.
- Nearby Wi-Fi devices and local network, to find TVs to cast to and to send to a phone nearby.
- Internet and network state, for the browser, downloads and streaming.
- Run in the background and start at boot, so downloads continue when the screen is off and resume after a restart.
You can turn any permission off in Android settings. The parts of the app that need it will ask again when you use them.
Your choices
- Reset or delete your advertising ID in Android settings, under Privacy, then Ads. After that, ads are no longer personalised with it.
- In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, VM Player asks for your consent with Google’s consent form before any ad is requested. You can change your choice at any time in the app under About, then Ad privacy choices.
- Clear browsing data from the browser's settings in the app, or clear all app data in Android settings.
- Uninstall the app to stop all data collection by the app.
Children
VM Player is not made for children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Security and keeping data
All connections to the services above use encryption (HTTPS). Firebase keeps analytics data for up to 14 months and crash reports for up to 90 days. We do not sell personal information.
This website
vmplayer.org does not use cookies, analytics or ads. Our web server keeps standard access logs (IP address, page and time) for a short time to keep the site running. Fonts are served from vmplayer.org itself, so opening the site does not contact any other company.
Changes
If this policy changes we will update this page and the date at the top.
