Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 16, 2026

1. Introduction

ShortVidds ("we", "us", "our") operates shortvidds.com and related services (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have over your personal data. By using ShortVidds you agree to the practices described here.

2. Information We Collect

  • Account data: email address, password (hashed), display name, username, bio, and avatar image you upload.
  • Content: videos, thumbnails, titles, descriptions, tags, and comments you publish.
  • Usage data: pages viewed, videos watched, likes, follows, search queries, device type, browser, IP address, and timestamps.
  • Cookies & local storage: session tokens for authentication and preferences.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the Service.
  • Authenticate you and keep your account secure.
  • Personalize recommendations ("For you", "Trending", "New channels").
  • Detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
  • Communicate with you about your account or updates to the Service.
  • Comply with legal obligations.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with: (a) infrastructure providers that host the Service under strict contracts; (b) authorities when required by law or to protect rights and safety; and (c) other users — content you publish (videos, comments, profile) is public by design.

5. Data Retention

We keep your account and content as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove your profile and published content within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or for fraud prevention.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (including the EEA, UK, and California), you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, restrict or object to processing, and withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@shortvidds.com.

7. Children

ShortVidds is not intended for children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

8. Security

We use industry-standard measures including encryption in transit (HTTPS), hashed passwords, and row-level access controls. No system is 100% secure; you use the Service at your own risk.

9. International Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. We rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses where required.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced in-app or by email. Continued use of ShortVidds after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
