Short4U is engineered with data minimization principles. We do not sell your personal data or participate in third-party cross-app data broker networks.
We only process data strictly necessary to deliver high-quality video streaming:
- Authentication Information: Sign in with Apple or Google creates an anonymized identifier so your watchlist and VIP status can be restored across devices.
- Playback Progress: Timestamp positions are securely cached to enable seamless video resumption.
- Subscription Status: Apple App Store and Google Play purchase tokens verify active VIP passes without storing your credit card credentials.
