Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 3, 2026
WayToVideo does NOT upload, transfer, view, or store your raw video files, audio tracks, or photos on remote servers. All timeline operations, video decoding, and rendering take place locally inside your browser sandbox on your device hardware.
1. Introduction
WayToVideo ("we", "our", or "us") operates the website located at waytovideo.app. We are committed to protecting and respecting your personal privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our data collection, handling practices, usage of cookies, analytics, and third-party advertising partners.
2. How Your Video & Media Files Are Processed
Unlike conventional cloud-based editing software, WayToVideo is engineered as an in-browser client-side application utilizing modern Web Standards, including the HTML5 Canvas 2D API, Web Audio API, and MediaStream Recording API.
- No Media Uploads: When you drag, drop, or import videos, audio recordings, or graphics into WayToVideo, they are read directly into your device's local volatile memory (RAM).
- No Server Storage: Your footage is never transmitted to, inspected by, or saved on any remote cloud database or external server.
- Local Export: When rendering your final composition, the browser encodes the video frames on your CPU/GPU and directly saves the resulting file to your local drive.
3. Cookies and Local Storage
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you browse websites. WayToVideo uses minimal cookies and browser storage technologies:
- Local Browser Storage (IndexedDB / localStorage): We use local storage purely to remember your active timeline project settings, recent edits, and user interface preferences (such as timeline zoom level) so your work is not lost when refreshing the page. This data remains strictly on your computer.
- Essential Technical Cookies: Necessary to provide core security, navigation, and page delivery functions.
4. Third-Party Advertising & Google AdSense
To keep WayToVideo 100% free with no watermarks and no mandatory subscriptions, we display third-party advertisements on our landing pages through advertising networks, including Google AdSense.
Google AdSense Disclosures:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites on the Internet.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
- Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
5. Web Analytics & Server Logs
When you visit WayToVideo, standard web servers may automatically log non-personally identifiable technical information provided by your web browser, such as:
- Browser type, language, and version
- Operating system
- Referring website and exit pages
- Date and time stamps of requests
- Anonymized or truncated IP addresses
We use this aggregated data solely to diagnose technical issues, optimize system performance, and improve browser compatibility across desktop and mobile devices.
6. Data Subject Rights (GDPR & CCPA/CPRA)
Depending on your location, you have rights regarding your personal information under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):
- Right to Access: Inquire what personal information we hold about you.
- Right to Erasure / Deletion: Request that your contact details or email communications be permanently deleted.
- Right to Non-Discrimination: We never discriminate against users for exercising privacy rights.
Because WayToVideo does not require user accounts and processes media files client-side, we do not maintain personal user accounts or databases of user videos to delete or export.
7. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
WayToVideo is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal identifiable information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal details to us, please email us at sanketyelve.web@gmail.com and we will promptly delete it.
