Welcome to Loops.video ("we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services.

3. How We Use Your Information

We may use the collected information to:

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information.

We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others rights, property, or safety.

Your public content may be downloaded by other servers in the network. Your public and followers-only Loops are delivered to the servers where your followers reside, and direct messages are delivered to the servers of the recipients, in so far as those followers or recipients reside on a different server than this.

When you authorize an application to use your account, depending on the scope of permissions you approve, it may access your public profile information, your following list, your followers, all your Loops, and your likes. Applications can never access your e-mail address or password.

We may share your information with:

  • Service Providers: Third-party vendors who assist in operating our website and providing services (e.g., hosting, data analysis, payment processing, federation).
  • Legal Obligations: If required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.

5. Third-Party Services

Our platform may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by Loops.video. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties.

6. Security of Your Information

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you enter, submit, or access your personal information. Among other things, your browser session, as well as the traffic between your applications and the API, are secured with SSL, and your password is hashed using a strong one-way algorithm (argon2d).

However, please be aware that no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.
