BraveVid supports viewer access and approval-based creator accounts. This page explains the data used to provide them.

What BraveVid stores

The service stores creator email addresses, salted password hashes, expiring sessions, channel profiles, private uploads, review decisions, catalog metadata, public AI disclosures, view and like counters, reports, appeals and security audit events. Viewer hide choices stay in that browser's local storage.

Externally hosted media

External videos and thumbnails may load from YouTube, Vimeo or the linked source provider. Loading a watch page with an embedded player sends ordinary request information, such as your IP address, browser details and referring site, to that provider. YouTube embeds use its privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com domain; this does not make playback anonymous. Interacting with a player may allow the provider to store information under its own policies.

See Google's privacy policy and Vimeo's privacy policy. Opening an original source also takes you to that provider.

What it does not do

BraveVid uses MagicAds to show advertisements. Ad requests can include the page URL and title, browser information and session identifiers for delivery and measurement. Video providers process embedded player requests under their own privacy policies. BraveVid does not request precise location, and passwords are not stored in plaintext.

Retention and deletion

Account deletion and export, an enforced retention schedule, legal-hold rules, tested backups, and a named privacy contact must be completed before creator access scales.

Do not submit sensitive material

Do not put confidential, private, personal, or illegal material into reports or appeals. Contact BraveVid for account or privacy support.
