Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 29, 2025

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit the VideoIntel.js documentation site.

Overview

VideoIntel.js is a client-side JavaScript library for video analysis. This privacy policy applies specifically to this documentation and demonstration website (https://gold-olar.github.io/video-intel.js), not to the library itself.

Key Points:

• We respect your privacy and only collect anonymous analytics data
• We ask for your consent before using cookies or tracking technologies
• We never collect personal information like names, emails, or addresses
• All video processing happens in your browser - files never leave your device
• You can opt-out of analytics at any time

Information We Collect

Analytics Information (With Your Consent)

When you consent to analytics cookies, we collect anonymous usage data through Google Analytics 4, including:

• Page views: Which pages you visit and how long you spend on them
• Geographic data: Your approximate location (country and city only, no precise location)
• Device information: Browser type, operating system, device type (desktop/mobile/tablet), and screen resolution
• Referral source: The website that referred you to our documentation
• User interactions: Button clicks, link clicks, code copying, and playground usage (anonymous)
• Technical data: Loading times, errors, and performance metrics

Information We Do NOT Collect

• ❌ Names, email addresses, or contact information
• ❌ User accounts or login credentials (we don't have user accounts)
• ❌ Payment information (the library is free and open source)
• ❌ Your video files (all processing happens locally in your browser)
• ❌ Precise geolocation or IP addresses (IPs are anonymized)
• ❌ Cross-site tracking or browsing history

This information is stored by GitHub Pages (our hosting provider) and is subject to GitHub's Privacy Policy.

• Improve the documentation: Understand which pages are most useful and which need improvement
• Enhance user experience: Identify usability issues and optimize the site layout
• Track feature usage: See which library features are most popular to prioritize development
• Monitor performance: Identify and fix slow-loading pages or technical issues

We will NEVER:

• Sell your data to third parties
• Use your data for advertising
• Share your data with anyone except as described in this policy
• Track you across other websites
