Flixfox is dedicated to upholding the digital privacy of every user within the Indian territory. This Privacy Policy details our rigorous data governance framework, established in accordance with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act). We prioritize transparency for all users accessing our services via Android smartphones, Android TVs, and Firestick devices.
1. Role As A Digital Data Fiduciary
Under the DPDP Act 2023, Flixfox acts as a Data Fiduciary for the minimal technical metadata required to maintain its Search Index and Information Location Tools.We process data only for lawful purposes and with the implicit intent of enhancing app stability. Our commitment is to ensure that your digital footprint remains minimal and protected.
2. Categories Of Data Processed
Flixfox utilizes a "Privacy by Design" architecture. We do not engage in bulk data harvesting. Instead, we focus on technical metadata necessary for the Android ecosystem.
The data points we process include:
- Hardware Configuration: Device model, CPU architecture, and Operating System version to deliver the correct APK updates.
- Interface Customization: User-selected language, theme settings, and regional content preferences.
- Operational Logs: Search queries and viewing history, utilized strictly to synchronize your "Continue Watching" list across multiple Android devices.
- Network Metadata: IP addresses used to determine regional availability and prevent unauthorized access to specific index results.
3. Strict Exclusion Of Sensitive Data
To protect the personal security of our Indian users, Flixfox maintains a definitive exclusion list. We never request, store, or transmit the following:
- Official government identifiers (Aadhaar, PAN, or Passport numbers).
- Financial or payment credentials (UPI IDs, bank account details, or card numbers).
- Biometric information or private contact lists.
- Precise GPS location data.
4. Third-Party Advertising Mechanisms
Flixfox remains a free-to-use platform supported by a "Freemium" advertising model. We integrate with established third-party ad networks, such as Google AdMob, to facilitate the delivery of non-intrusive advertisements.
These partners may utilize anonymous device identifiers (e.g., Android Advertising ID) to serve relevant ads. Flixfox does not share your specific watch history with these advertisers. You can manage or opt-out of ad personalization directly through the privacy settings on your Android device.
5. PC Architecture and Emulation
Flixfox is developed exclusively as an APK for Android-based systems. We do not provide a native client for Windows or macOS. Users who prefer a PC experience must use an Android Emulator (such as LDPlayer or BlueStacks).
In this environment, our data processing is confined to the sandbox created by the emulator. We cannot access the host computer’s local files, personal folders, or system-level configurations. This ensures your primary computing environment remains entirely isolated from our application.
6. Data Security And Encryption
We employ industry-standard encryption protocols (SSL/TLS) for all data in transit. Your synchronization data is stored in secure environments with restricted access. We do not sell user metadata to third-party brokers. Most of your preferences are stored locally on your device's cache and can be cleared at any time.
7. User Rights: Access And Deletion
The DPDP Act 2023 grants Indian "Data Principals" specific rights over their information. Flixfox facilitates these rights through:
- The Right to Erasure: You can clear your history and cached data within the app settings.
- The Right to Correction: You may update your regional or language preferences instantly.
- Permanent Removal: To request the complete deletion of all synchronized data associated with your device ID, please contact us via our official website.
8. Grievance Redressal
In alignment with the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines) Rules, we have established a grievance mechanism. If you have concerns regarding your privacy or data handling, please reach out to our Grievance Officer.
Contact us through our official website portal or the provided contact email. We acknowledge all complaints within 24 hours and strive for full resolution within the statutory 15-day period.
