Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 16, 2026

VidInBio ("we," "us," or "our") operates the vidinbio.com and vidinb.io websites. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our service.

Information We Collect

Account Information: When you create a VidInBio page, we collect your chosen username and, optionally, a password. We do not require an email address to create a page.

YouTube Channel Data: When you connect a YouTube channel, we access publicly available information including your channel name, profile image, channel description, and video titles, thumbnails, and publish dates. This data is fetched via the YouTube RSS feed and YouTube's public APIs.

Social Links: Any social media links or custom URLs you add to your page are stored in our database.

Contact Information: If you contact us through our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message.

Usage Data: We collect standard web server logs including IP addresses, browser type, and pages visited. We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics service that does not use cookies and does not collect personal data, to understand how our service is used.

IP Addresses: We temporarily store IP addresses for rate limiting purposes (to prevent abuse of page creation and contact forms). These are not used for tracking or profiling.

How We Use Your Information

Legal Basis for Processing (EEA/UK Users)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, our legal basis for collecting and using your information is: legitimate interest in operating and improving our service, performance of a contract when providing the service you requested, and compliance with legal obligations where applicable.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

Cookies

We use essential cookies for session management (login functionality) only. We do not use tracking cookies. Third-party advertising partners may set cookies for ad personalization. You can control cookie settings through your browser.

Data Security

Passwords are hashed using bcrypt before storage. All connections are encrypted via HTTPS. We implement rate limiting and input validation to protect against abuse. While we take reasonable measures to protect your data, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Data Retention

Your VidInBio page and associated data are retained as long as your page is active. Contact form submissions are retained for up to 12 months. Server logs and IP addresses used for rate limiting are retained for no longer than 30 days. You may request deletion of your page and all associated data at any time by contacting us.

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify affected users as soon as practicable and no later than 72 hours after becoming aware of the breach, as required by applicable law.

Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. If you are in the EEA/UK, you also have the right to data portability, the right to restrict processing, and the right to object to processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at support@vidinbio.com.

Children's Privacy

VidInBio is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

International Data Transfers

Our servers are located in the United States. If you are accessing VidInBio from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States.
