What is collected, and why
Visiting the website
- No cookies and no ad trackers are used.
- Cloudflare Web Analytics counts visits (page, referring site, country, browser, page load time) without cookies and without following you across sites. Cloudflare also delivers the site and protects it against attacks.
- The footer shows a visit counter from mySiteChart (badge.mysitechart.com, also run by me). Loading it counts a page view for web2vid.com.
- Like any website, the hosting provider may keep short technical logs (such as IP address, time and page) for security and operations.
The cloud demo (/try/)
- Your animation: the HTML and settings you send are stored on the server only to render the video. The page and the video are deleted automatically about an hour later.
- Your IP address is used in memory to limit how many renders one address can start per hour (abuse protection). It is not written to disk and is forgotten within the hour.
- Usage statistics: for each render, the size, frame rate, length, how long it took, whether it worked (and the error if not) and whether the video was downloaded. No IP address and no HTML are kept in these statistics.
- Images, fonts or libraries your animation loads from other sites (e.g. a CDN) are fetched by the render server, so those sites see the server, not you.
Early access and the contact form
- When you send the early-access form or the contact form, your email (if you give it), your message or answers, your browser's user agent and the page you came from are saved and sent to me.
- Your email is only used to answer you, and for early access, to tell you when accounts open. No newsletter, and it's never sold or shared for marketing.
Legal basis
- Running the demo, preventing abuse and keeping technical logs: legitimate interest (GDPR article 6(1)(f)).
- Early access and contact messages: your consent and your request (article 6(1)(a) and (b)). You can withdraw it at any time.
Who processes the data
- Render hosts the website; Cloudflare delivers it (DNS, proxy, anonymous visit statistics).
- Railway hosts the render API (api.web2vid.com) and the service that stores contact and early-access messages (api.flixlar.com, also run by me).
- GitHub hosts the desktop app downloads; downloading from GitHub is covered byGitHub's privacy statement.
How long it's kept
- Uploaded animations and rendered videos: about an hour.
- Rate-limit IP addresses: in memory, up to an hour.
- Usage statistics: kept, without personal data.
- Early-access and contact messages: until they're no longer needed, or until you ask me to delete them.
Your rights
You can ask to see the data I have about you, have it corrected or deleted, object to its use, or withdraw your consent. Write through the contact form with the email you used. If you think I handle your data wrongly, you can complain to the Danish Data Protection Agency, Datatilsynet.
