Cookies and similar technologies. Some of our automatic data collection is facilitated by cookies and similar technologies. For more information, see our Cookie Policy. Some of the technologies we use include:
  • Cookies, which are small text files that websites store on user devices and that allow web servers to record users’ web browsing activities and remember their submissions, preferences, and login status as they navigate a site. Cookies used on our sites include both “session cookies” that are deleted when a session ends, “persistent cookies” that remain longer, “first party” cookies that we place and “third party” cookies that our third-party business partners and service providers place. 
  • Local storage technologies, like HTML5, that provide cookie-equivalent functionality but can store larger amounts of data on your device outside of your browser in connection with specific applications. 
  • Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, which are used to demonstrate that a webpage or email was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked. 
  • Session-replay technologies, that employ software code to log users’ interactions with the Service in a manner that allows us to watch video replays of those user sessions. The replays include users’ clicks, mobile app touches, mouse movements, scrolls and keystrokes/key touches during those sessions. These replays help us diagnose usability problems and identify areas for improvement.

Data about others. You may submit personal information about others to the Platform (e.g., video or audio of another person). We may also offer features that help users invite their friends or contacts to use the Platform, and we may collect contact details about these invitees so we can deliver their invitations.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the other websites, mobile applications and online services you use.

Security

However, security risk is inherent in all internet and information technologies and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information. For more details, please see our Security page.

International data transfer
We are headquartered in the United States and may use service providers that operate in other countries. Your personal information may be transferred to the United States or other locations where privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your state, province, or country.

We are committed to EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF) and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF) and to the rights of EU and UK individuals and Swiss individuals. Users in Europe should read the important information provided below about transfer of personal information outside of Europe.

Children 
Aside from the Education Services, the Platform is not intended for users under the age of 13 (“Child User”). Where we know there is a Child User, we will either prevent registration or obtain a parent’s or legal guardian’s consent as explained below:

  • WeVideo Users: We do not knowingly allow Child Users to register as WeVideo Users. If we become aware that a Child User has registered for the Platform, we will comply with applicable legal requirements to delete their information. If you are a parent or guardian who believes your child has registered for an account without your consent, you may ask us to delete such information by contacting us at support@wevideo.com. ; or
  • Education Services Users: if you are a Child User who is also an Education Services User, then: 
    • if you are based in the U.S.: your education institution provides consent on behalf of your parent or legal guardian; and
    • if you are based outside the U.S.: your teacher must first obtain your parent’s or legal guardian’s consent. If your teacher creates a student account for you without your parent first signing a consent form, please inform your parent immediately so that they can instruct us to remove your information from our files.

If you are a parent or guardian of a Child User from whom you believe we have collected personal information in a manner prohibited by law, please contact us, and if your Child User is an Education Services User, please also contact the Child User’s education institution. If we learn that we have collected personal information through the Platform or other Service from a Child User without the consent of the Child User’s parent or guardian as required by law, we will comply with applicable legal requirements to delete the information. 

 

Parents may withdraw consent upon request.  Where the Child User is an Education Services User, parents and legal guardians can request deletion of their Child User’s information by contacting the Child User’s education institution. 

 

How does a Child User access the Platform?

  • WeVideo Users: Child Users are not allowed to register as WeVideo Users. 
  • Education Services Users: Child Users who are Education Services Users cannot access the Platform without first being invited by their education institution. 

 

What information about Child Users is visible to others?

Where the Child User is an Education Services User, the education institution may opt to post Child User videos publicly on the Platform along with the Child User’s name. Parents and legal guardians can review and access their Child User’s personal information by contacting the Child User’s education institution. 

 

A Note about FERPA (where applicable):

Certain personal information for Education Services Users is collected or maintained by WeVideo as a processor on behalf of education institutions. This personal information may be subject to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”), meaning we will only use personal information that is considered to be “personally identifiable information” maintained as part of “education records” (as both are defined under FERPA) for legitimate educational interests, which include providing the Service. FERPA provides parents (or students if over the age of 18) with certain rights with regard to those education records (or with respect to the Service here and for purposes of this Privacy Policy, the personal information). Please note our use and processing of this personal information as a processor is governed by our agreements with the education institutions. The education institutions may have their own privacy policies that govern the personal information collected in connection with their use of the Service, and the policies of the applicable education institution govern how they process and share personal information relating to the Service, including with respect to any rights users may have to such personal information.

 

Changes to this Privacy Policy 

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by updating the date of this Privacy Policy and posting it on the Site, Platform or other appropriate means. Any modifications to this Privacy Policy will be effective upon our posting the modified version (or as otherwise indicated at the time of posting). In all cases, your use of the Service after the effective date of any modified Privacy Policy indicates your acknowledging that the modified Privacy Policy applies to your interactions with the Service and our business.

We are a U.S.-based company and many of our service providers, advisers, partners or other recipients of data are also based in the U.S. This means that, if you use the Service, your personal information will necessarily be accessed and processed in the U.S. It may also be provided to recipients in other countries outside Europe.  

It is important to note that that the US is not the subject of an ‘adequacy decision’ under the GDPR – basically, this means that the U.S. legal regime is not considered by relevant European bodies to provide an adequate level of protection for personal information, which is equivalent to that provided by relevant European laws. 

Where we share your personal information with third parties who are based outside Europe, we try to ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by making sure one of the following mechanisms is implemented: 

  • Transfers to territories with an adequacy decision. We may transfer your personal information to countries or territories whose laws have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal information by the Swiss FDPIC, European Commission or UK Government (as and where applicable) (from time to time).
  • Transfers to territories without an adequacy decision. 
    • we may use specific appropriate safeguards, which are designed to give personal information effectively the same protection it has in Europe – for example, standard-form contracts approved by relevant authorize for this purpose; or 
    • in limited circumstances, we may rely on an exception, or ‘derogation’, which permits us to transfer your personal information to such country despite the absence of an ‘adequacy decision’ or ‘appropriate safeguards’ – for example, reliance on your explicit consent to that transfer. 
    • We may transfer your personal information to countries or territories whose laws have not been deemed to provide such an adequate level of protection (e.g., the U.S., see above).  
    • However, in these cases:

You may contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal information out of Europe.
