Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 6, 2026.

At Videos.com, we recognize that privacy is important. This Privacy Policy explains how Videos.com collects, uses, shares, and retains information when you use our website and related services. Videos.com primarily provides a video search and discovery experience and does not require general visitors to create an account or provide profile information such as a name, mailing address, account password, or precise GPS location.

This Privacy Policy applies only to Videos.com services. Other websites, advertisers, analytics providers, video platforms, search results, embedded content providers, and linked third-party services may have their own privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those third parties.

Information We Collect

Videos.com may collect or process limited technical, usage, and communication information to operate, secure, improve, and monetize the website. This may include the following categories of information:

  • Information you provide - If you contact Videos.com by email, web form, or another communication method, we may collect the information you choose to provide, such as your email address, message content, and any other information included in your communication.
  • Cookies and similar technologies - Videos.com and its service providers may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, local storage, device identifiers, and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, measure performance, help prevent fraud or abuse, and support advertising.
  • First-party preference cookies - Videos.com may set cookies such as videos_tz to remember your time zone and videos_hide_exit_notice to remember that you do not want to see the external-video notice again. These preference cookies are used to operate the website and remember choices you make.
  • Log information - Our servers and hosting, security, analytics, or advertising providers may automatically record information that your browser sends when you visit a website. These logs may include your web request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, device information, referring and exit pages, pages viewed, date and time of request, and one or more cookies or identifiers that may uniquely identify your browser or device.
  • Advertising and analytics information - Videos.com may use advertising and analytics services to display ads, measure ad performance, understand site traffic, prevent fraud, and improve the website. These services may collect or receive information from Videos.com and other websites over time, including cookie identifiers, IP addresses, device information, browser information, pages visited, interactions with ads, and similar usage data.
  • Approximate location information - Videos.com and its service providers may infer approximate location from information such as IP address. Videos.com does not require general visitors to provide precise GPS location information.
  • Links and outbound activity - Videos.com presents links to third-party video platforms such as YouTube and TikTok. We may process limited information about whether links, search results, or advertisements have been viewed or clicked to improve search quality, measure performance, support advertising, and help prevent abuse.
  • Other sites and embedded content - Search results, linked websites, embedded content, third-party applications, plugins, advertisers, and analytics providers may place their own cookies or other files on your device, collect data, or solicit information from you. Videos.com does not control the privacy practices of those third parties.

Advertising Cookies and Third-Party Advertising Partners

Videos.com may display advertisements provided by Google AdSense and other third-party advertising partners. These advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, IP addresses, device identifiers, browser information, and similar technologies to serve advertisements, measure ad performance, prevent fraud, limit repetitive ads, and personalize advertising content.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to Videos.com and/or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to Videos.com and other sites on the Internet.

If Videos.com uses third-party ad serving, cookies from other third-party vendors or ad networks may also be used to serve ads on Videos.com. The categories of third parties that may collect, receive, or process information through Videos.com include advertising networks, ad exchanges, ad measurement providers, analytics providers, fraud-prevention providers, hosting providers, content delivery networks, security providers, and other service providers that help operate, secure, measure, improve, and monetize the website.

Videos.com does not currently require general visitors to create an account and does not sell user account information. However, third-party advertising and analytics providers may collect or process limited technical, usage, and advertising-related information as described in this Privacy Policy when users visit the website.

Advertising Cookie Opt-Out Choices

Users may control or limit cookies through their browser settings, including blocking, deleting, or limiting cookies. Some Videos.com features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising served by Google by visiting Google’s advertising settings at https://myadcenter.google.com/.

Users may also opt out of some participating third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting industry opt-out resources such as the Digital Advertising Alliance at https://optout.aboutads.info/, the Network Advertising Initiative at https://optout.networkadvertising.org/, or YourOnlineChoices where applicable at https://www.youronlinechoices.com/.

Opting out of personalized advertising does not mean you will no longer see advertisements. It means that advertisements may be less relevant or may be based on contextual information rather than prior browsing activity.

Information Sharing

Videos.com may share information with third parties in the following circumstances:

  • With service providers - We may provide information to trusted vendors, service providers, contractors, and agents who perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, security, analytics, advertising, measurement, fraud prevention, support, and website operations. These parties are authorized to use information as necessary to provide services to Videos.com and as otherwise permitted by applicable law.
  • With advertising and analytics partners - We may allow third-party advertising and analytics partners to collect or receive technical, usage, and advertising-related information through cookies, web beacons, pixels, and similar technologies as described in this Privacy Policy.
  • With your consent - We may share personal information with third parties when you direct us to do so or when you provide consent.
  • For legal, security, and safety reasons - We may access, use, preserve, or disclose information when we have a good faith belief that doing so is reasonably necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request; enforce applicable terms; investigate potential violations; detect, prevent, or address fraud, security, or technical issues; or protect against harm to the rights, property, or safety of Videos.com, our users, service providers, or the public.
  • In connection with a business transfer - If Videos.com becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of assets, or transition of service to another provider, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections where applicable.

We may share aggregated, de-identified, or non-personal information that does not identify you individually, such as general usage statistics, search trends, or advertising performance information.

Data Retention

Videos.com keeps information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Our current retention periods are:

  • First-party preference cookies, including videos_tz and videos_hide_exit_notice, are set for up to 12 months unless you delete them sooner through your browser settings.
  • Raw server access logs are generally retained for up to 12 months.
  • Security, fraud-prevention, and abuse-prevention logs may be retained for up to 24 months when needed to protect the website, investigate abuse, or maintain security.
  • Advertising and analytics reports available to Videos.com are generally retained for up to 24 months. Aggregated or de-identified reports that do not identify an individual user may be retained indefinitely for business, reporting, and service-improvement purposes.
  • Direct user communications, such as email or support requests, may be retained for up to 36 months after the last interaction, unless a longer period is reasonably necessary for legal, security, dispute-resolution, or business-record purposes.
  • Records needed to comply with law, enforce terms, resolve disputes, collect fees, prevent fraud, or protect rights and safety may be retained for the period required or permitted by applicable law.

When information is no longer needed, Videos.com may delete, anonymize, aggregate, or otherwise de-identify it. If you request deletion of personal information that Videos.com directly maintains about you, we will delete or de-identify that information unless retention is required or permitted by applicable law, security needs, fraud-prevention needs, dispute resolution, or legitimate business purposes.

Third-party advertising and analytics providers maintain their own data retention practices. Google describes aspects of its advertising data retention practices, including anonymization of certain advertising log data, in its advertising technology information at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Your Choices and Requests

You can decline to provide personal information to Videos.com. If you choose not to provide information requested for a particular feature or request, Videos.com may not be able to provide that feature or respond to that request.

When required by applicable law, Videos.com will make good faith efforts to provide users with access to personal information that Videos.com directly maintains about them and to allow users to correct or delete such information. We may ask users to verify their identity and identify the information requested before processing access, correction, or deletion requests.

We may decline or limit requests where permitted by law, including where requests are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, would compromise security, or concern information that must be retained for legal, security, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, or legitimate business purposes.

Information Security

We take reasonable security measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures may include technical, administrative, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information and the risks involved.

No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children

Videos.com is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have directly collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.

This Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will post any Privacy Policy changes on this page. If changes are significant, we may provide a more prominent notice where appropriate.
