Vanced collects any user data?

• If you want to read the privacy policy, please open a browser and type "YouTube privacy policy" and give it a read.
• Vanced has no privacy policies of its own because it is entirely based on the official YouTube app, which includes ad-blocking and background playback and has been used by millions of people for over three years.
• YouTube may ask you to grant Google services such as contacts, micro-phone, and other permissions for the services you use provided by Google, but these are never used by vanced in any way.

Tl;dr: No, we do not collect any sort of data from you.
