Privacy Policy

At VideoReducer.com, your privacy is our top priority. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our video compression service.

1. The Most Important Thing: Your Videos Stay Private

All video compression happens entirely in your web browser. Your video files are never uploaded to our servers. We use WebAssembly technology (FFmpeg.wasm and WebCodecs API) to process videos locally on your device. This means:

• Your video files never leave your computer or phone
• We cannot see, access, or store your video content
• We cannot recover your videos if you close your browser before downloading
• Your videos are not used for training AI or any other purpose

2. Information We Collect

Since we don't process videos on our servers, the only information we collect is anonymous usage analytics:

2.1 Anonymous Analytics Data

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. This helps us improve the service. The data collected includes:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Approximate geographic location (country/city level)
• Browser type, device type, and screen resolution
• Referring website (how you found us)
• Anonymous session identifiers (not linked to personal data)

This data is aggregated and anonymous — it cannot be used to identify you personally.

2.2 Technical Logs

Our hosting provider (Cloudflare/Vercel) may automatically log:

• IP addresses (for security and abuse prevention)
• Request timestamps
• User agent strings
• HTTP status codes

These logs are retained for a limited period for security and operational purposes.

2.3 Information We Do NOT Collect

We explicitly do NOT collect:

• Your video files or their contents
• Your name, email, or contact information (unless you contact us)
• Account credentials (we don't require accounts)
• Biometric data, facial recognition data, or any data from your videos

3. Cookies and Tracking

We use a minimal set of cookies and tracking technologies. See our Cookie Policy for full details. In summary:

• Analytics cookies: Google Analytics cookies to understand usage patterns
• Essential cookies: Any cookies required for the website to function
• We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the anonymous analytics data to:

• Improve website performance and user experience
• Understand which features are most used
• Identify and fix bugs or errors
• Optimize our content for different browsers and devices
• Prevent abuse and protect against security threats

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your data. We share anonymous analytics data with the following third parties:

• Google Analytics: For website analytics (see Google's Privacy Policy)
• Cloudflare/Vercel: For website hosting and CDN services

We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect our legal rights.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect anonymous analytics data:

• HTTPS encryption for all website traffic
• Content Security Policy (CSP) headers
• Regular security reviews
• Limited access to analytics data

However, since your videos never leave your device, the most important security measure is in your hands — your videos are as secure as your device.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to certain processing of your data
• Withdraw consent for data processing

Since we only collect anonymous analytics data, most of these rights are not applicable. If you believe we hold personal data about you, contact us at privacy@videoreducer.com.

8. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

9. International Users

VideoReducer.com is available worldwide. If you access the Service from outside the United States, please be aware that your data may be processed in the United States or other countries with different data protection laws. By using the Service, you consent to such transfer.

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), we comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For users in the UK, we comply with the UK Data Protection Act.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
