2. In short
- ReelsBox stores everything only on your phone.
- There is no account, no advertising and no analytics or tracking tools.
- We as the provider do not receive any of your data. We cannot see or analyse your folders, links, notes, files or voice notes.
3. What data does the app process on your phone?
When you share content to ReelsBox or create it in the app, the app stores on your device:
- links (e.g. to videos on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram or Facebook) and their preview (title, channel name, preview image),
- folders, titles, notes and tags you enter,
- files you share (e.g. PDF, photos, Word, Excel or PowerPoint files),
- images you choose from your gallery,
- voice notes you record.
The data is kept in the app's protected storage. Other apps cannot access it. Uninstalling the app or choosing "Delete all data" in the app deletes it.
Videos are never downloaded, only saved as links.
4. When does the app connect to the internet?
ReelsBox only uses the internet for preview images and titles and to open links:
- TikTok: the app queries TikTok's public preview service (oEmbed) with the shared link. Provider: TikTok Technology Limited, Ireland.
- YouTube: the app queries YouTube's public preview service (oEmbed) with the shared link. Provider: Google Ireland Limited, Ireland.
- Other websites: the app loads the shared web page to read its title and preview image.
- Preview images are loaded from these providers' servers.
- For Facebook and Instagram the app does not request any preview.
For these requests the provider technically receives your IP address, device information (e.g. user agent) and the requested link. We have no influence on this. The provider's privacy policy applies:
- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/legal/privacy-policy
- Google/YouTube: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (providing the feature you use) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in showing saved links clearly with image and title).
When you open a saved link, it opens in the matching app (e.g. TikTok) or your browser, where that provider's terms apply.
5. Permissions
- Microphone: only for voice notes and only when you tap "Record". The recording stays on your phone.
- Photos: the app uses the Android photo picker and only receives the images you select.
- Share menu: ReelsBox only receives content you share to ReelsBox yourself.
6. Backup file
In your profile you can create a backup. The file is created on your phone. Where you save or send it (e.g. email, cloud storage) is your choice; that service's terms then apply.
7. Google Play
The app is installed and updated via Google Play. Google processes data according to its own policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy). If you have allowed usage and diagnostics in your Android settings, Google provides us with aggregated statistics and crash reports. These contain no content from ReelsBox.
8. Sharing of data
We do not sell data, do not pass data to third parties and do not show ads.
9. Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection. Because your content is only on your phone, you can change or delete it yourself at any time (in the app: Profile → "Delete all data", or uninstall the app).
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
