MKVPlayer
This Privacy Policy explains how MKVPlayer handles information when you use the application.
Last Updated: August 2026
1. Introduction
MKVPlayer ("the App", "we", "us", or "our") is a video player application for Android devices that allows users to browse, organize, and play compatible video files, including MKV files.
We respect your privacy and aim to be transparent about the information that may be processed when you use the App.
2. Information You Provide
MKVPlayer does not require you to create an account in order to use its core video playback functionality.
The App allows you to select and play video files stored on your device. The files you select may contain information or content that you have provided or created.
We do not intentionally collect the contents of your personal video files for our own purposes merely because you play them using the App.
You are responsible for the content of the files that you choose to access or play.
3. Video and Storage Access
MKVPlayer requires access to video files so that it can provide its video-library and playback features.
Depending on your Android version and the way you select files, the App may request permission to access videos stored on your device.
This access may be used to:
- Find compatible video files.
- Display videos in your library.
- Read video metadata required for library features.
- Play videos selected by you.
- Support folders, favorites, and recent videos.
You can manage application permissions through your Android device settings. Restricting file access may prevent some video-library or playback features from working correctly.
4. Video Content
MKVPlayer is a media playback application. Video and audio content that you play is selected by you from sources available to the App.
The App does not intentionally upload your personal video files to our servers as part of normal local playback functionality.
However, if you intentionally use an Android or third-party feature that shares or sends content to another application or service, that content may be processed by the selected application or service.
5. Notifications
MKVPlayer may request notification permission on Android versions where notification permission is required.
If you grant notification permission, the App or its notification service may send notifications related to supported application features, updates, or other relevant functionality.
You can enable or disable notifications through Android system settings.
6. Advertising
MKVPlayer may display advertisements using Google AdMob.
Advertising providers may collect or process certain information for purposes such as providing, personalizing, measuring, and improving advertisements, subject to applicable laws, user choices, and consent requirements.
Depending on the applicable configuration and user choices, information processed by advertising services may include technical device information, advertising identifiers, approximate location information, diagnostics, and interactions with advertisements.
Google may process information according to its applicable privacy policies and terms.
7. Third-Party Services
The App uses or may use third-party services to provide advertising, notifications, application updates, reviews, and other functionality.
Services used by the App may include:
- Google AdMob
- Google Play services
- OneSignal
- Android Media3 / ExoPlayer components
- Google Play In-App Updates
- Google Play In-App Review services
Third-party services may process information according to their own privacy policies and applicable terms.
Their data practices are controlled by the respective third-party providers and may change independently of this Privacy Policy.
8. Internet and Network Information
The App may use an internet connection for features such as advertisements, notifications, application updates, reviews, support content, or other network-dependent functionality.
When network services are used, technical information such as IP address, device information, network information, application information, diagnostics, or service-related information may be processed by the relevant service provider.
9. Information We Do Not Intentionally Collect
We do not intentionally collect the contents of your personal videos for our own purposes merely because you play them through MKVPlayer.
The App does not require an account for its core video playback functionality.
Nevertheless, third-party services integrated into the App may independently collect or process technical, advertising, or service-related information as described in this Privacy Policy.
10. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to help protect information associated with the App.
However, no electronic storage system, application, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You are responsible for protecting the files and information stored on your device.
11. Data Retention
Video files and other content stored on your device remain under your control and are subject to your device's storage and file-management settings.
We do not establish a separate server-side retention period for videos that you play locally through the App.
Third-party service providers may retain information according to their own policies and applicable requirements.
12. Children's Privacy
MKVPlayer is not specifically designed to collect personal information from children.
We do not knowingly request children to submit personal information through the App.
If you believe that personal information has been provided to us in a manner that requires removal, please contact us using the contact information associated with the application.
13. Your Choices
You can control certain permissions and settings through Android, including:
- Video and media access permissions.
- Notification permissions.
- Advertising-related settings where available.
- Network access through device settings.
Disabling permissions may limit or prevent certain App features from working as intended.
14. Uninstalling the App
You can stop the App's access to your device by uninstalling MKVPlayer or changing its permissions through Android settings.
Uninstalling the App does not necessarily remove files that you previously saved on your device. You should manage those files separately using your device's file management tools.
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the App, applicable laws, or the services used by the App.
When changes are made, the "Last Updated" date displayed at the top of this Privacy Policy will be updated.
We encourage users to periodically review this Privacy Policy.

If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or the privacy practices of MKVPlayer, please contact the developer using the contact information provided on the application's Google Play Store listing.
17. Acceptance of This Policy
By using MKVPlayer, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
