This privacy notice for HenVids ("we," "us," or "our"), describes how and why we might collect, store, use, and/or share ("process") your information when you use our services ("Services"), such as when you visit our website at henvids.com.
Summary of key points
We process your information to provide, improve, and administer our Services, communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and to comply with law. HenVids does not ask for legal identity, health, beliefs, or similar special-category details. Adult-content favorites and comments can still be sensitive in context, so favorites and last-seen activity are private by default. We process information only when we have a valid legal reason to do so.
1. What Information Do We Collect?
Personal information you disclose to us
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register on the Services. This may include:
- Email addresses
- Usernames
- Optional avatars, public comments, saved favorites, and profile visibility choices
- Account creation, update, and last-online timestamps
- Password hashes and authentication security data; HenVids does not need or display your plain-text password.
Third-Party Sign-In Data: We provide the option to register using external account details (like Google or GitHub). If you choose this, we will collect basic profile information as described in the "How Do We Handle Third-Party Sign-In?" section.
Profile visibility: A basic pseudonymous profile containing your username, avatar, join date, and submitted public comments is publicly accessible by default. Saved favorites and online/last-seen status are private by default. You can change each visibility choice independently in Profile Settings or hide the entire profile.
Device-local information: Watch progress, recent playback choices, player volume, mute, and speed can be stored in your browser. This information is not synchronized to an account unless a feature explicitly says so.
Information automatically collected
Some information — such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address and/or browser and device characteristics — is collected automatically when you visit our Services. This information does not reveal your specific identity but may include:
- Log and Usage Data: Service-related, diagnostic, usage, and performance information.
- Device Data: Information about your computer, phone, tablet, or other device used to access the Services.
- Location Data: Information about your device's location (based on IP address).
2. How Do We Process Your Information?
We process your personal information for a variety of reasons, dependent on how you interact with our Services, including:
- To facilitate account creation and authentication.
- To deliver and facilitate delivery of services to the user.
- To respond to user inquiries/offer support.
- To send administrative information to you.
- To enable user-to-user communications.
- To request feedback.
- To protect our Services (fraud monitoring and prevention).
3. Legal Bases for Processing
We only process your personal information when we believe it is necessary and we have a valid legal reason (i.e., legal basis) to do so under applicable law, such as with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services to enter into or fulfill our contractual obligations, to protect your rights, or to fulfill our legitimate business interests.
4. When and With Whom Do We Share Your Personal Information?
We may share information in specific situations and with specific categories of third parties:
- Vendors, Consultants, and Other Third-Party Service Providers: We may share your data with third-party vendors who perform services for us or on our behalf (e.g., Ad Networks, Authentication Services, infrastructure, and security providers).
- Business Transfers: We may share or transfer your information in connection with any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition.
5. Third-Party Sign-In
Our Services offer you the ability to register and sign in using your third-party account details. Where you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information from that identity provider (e.g., email address and name). We use this information only for the purposes described in this privacy notice.
Advertising may load from third-party ad networks when you use HenVids. Those providers may process device, network, and usage information under their own privacy policies. You can block or clear their cookies through your browser settings.
6. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your personal information for longer than the period of time in which users have an account with us.
7. Security
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
8. Privacy Rights
In some regions (like the EEA, UK, and Canada), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right (i) to request access and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your personal information; and (iv) if applicable, to data portability.
Account Information: If you would at any time like to review or change the information in your account or terminate your account, you can sign in to your account settings and update your user account.
