AMP Video Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 3, 2026

AM Service Digital Solutions built AMP Video, an Android video player for VK. The app is provided free of charge and may display advertising. This policy explains how information is handled when you use AMP Video (the “App”).

Information collection and use

The App uses your VK account to access videos and related content. Account information and content are processed to provide sign-in, browsing, playback, playlists, and video downloads. The App may keep settings, session information, viewing history, and the last video and playback position on your device so those features work.

The App also uses analytics, crash-reporting, and advertising services. These services may receive your VK user ID, app events, device and app information, advertising ID, IP address, and diagnostic information, depending on the service and your device settings. The App sends your VK user ID to AppMetrica while you are signed in and stops associating new events with it when you sign out. Firebase Analytics collection is disabled in the App, while Firebase Crashlytics may collect crash reports in release builds.

VK social content and actions

To show the parts of VK that you open, the App requests and displays profile information, friends and communities, news and wall posts, photos and other post attachments, and comments. This content can include other people's names, profile photos, post text, photos, comment text, and author information. The App may temporarily cache images and other content on your device for display. VK determines which content your account can access and handles the original content under its own privacy policy.

When you choose to add or remove a video from your VK collection or manage a VK video playlist, the App sends the necessary request to VK. Those changes are stored with your VK account according to VK's rules. Opening posts, viewing photos, and reading comments do not themselves publish a post or comment from the App.

Permissions and local files

The App may request access to videos stored on your device to show local videos, camera access for QR-code sign-in, and notification permission to show download progress. If you choose to download a video, the file is saved to your device. You can manage permissions in Android settings. Denying a permission may make the related feature unavailable.

Third-party services

The App relies on third-party services to provide VK content, diagnostics, updates, and advertising. Their handling of information is covered by their own policies:

Some videos may be played through embedded players or opened on external websites. Those providers may receive information about your visit and may use their own storage technologies. Review their privacy policies when using their services.

Advertising

AMP Video may show ads supplied by Yandex Mobile Ads. Ad requests may include your gender and age from your VK profile when that information is available. The advertising provider may also process device identifiers and other information under its own policy. You can reset or limit use of your Android advertising ID in your device settings.

Cookies

The App does not set browser cookies for its native screens. Embedded web pages and video players may use cookies or similar technologies to function and measure usage. Their behavior is governed by the respective provider's privacy policy.

Log data and security

If the App encounters an error, diagnostic services may receive information such as the device model, operating system and app versions, error details, and the time of the event. We use this information to identify problems and improve the App. We take reasonable measures to protect information, but no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure.

Data retention and deletion

Information stored by the App on your device may remain until it is removed through an App feature, automatically cleared from a cache, cleared with the App's data in Android settings, or removed when you uninstall the App. A video saved to your device's video collection is a separate file and may need to be deleted from that collection. Signing out ends the App's use of your VK session on the device; it does not delete your VK account, VK content, or information already processed by third-party services. Those services set their own retention periods and deletion procedures. AMP Video does not currently provide a mechanism for users to request deletion of data handled by AM Service Digital Solutions.

Children's privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, contact us so we can review the matter.

Your choices and requests

You can sign out of your VK account in the App, change app permissions and advertising settings in Android, and remove locally stored App data through Android settings. For questions about information handled by VK, Google, or Yandex, consult their policies above. For general questions about this policy or the App, email support@vk-amp.ru. This address is not a data deletion request mechanism for AMP Video.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the revised version on this page and update its effective date.
