Privacy Policy for The DIY Video Editor

Who We Are

The website address of this site is: https://diyvideoeditor.com and for the remainder of this Privacy Policy I will be referring to myself as the operator of this website as either “I,” or The DIY Video Editor.

I will try as much as possible to keep this all in plain English so it is easy to understand rather than get all lawyerly on you!

At The DIY Video Editor I am committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of any visitors to this web site.

I want you to know that The DIY Video Editor is not in the business of selling, renting or trading email lists with other companies and businesses for marketing purposes.

I just don’t do that sort of thing so in this Privacy Policy, I will try to provide as much detailed information as I can on when and why I collect any personal information, how it is used and how I keep it secure.

It also describes the choices available to you regarding our use of your Personal Information and how you can access and update this information.

This Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals that we do not employ or manage.

What Personal Data is Collected and Why

Comments

When you leave a comment on this site the data shown in the comments form, and also your IP address and browser user agent string are collected to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it.

This is an example of a randomly generated hash: 8743b52063cd84097a65d1633f5c74f5

The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

After approval of your comment, your profile picture may then be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

The purpose of requesting a name and email address when posting comments is twofold.

  1. To use that contact address in order to answer questions or queries or to respond to comments or suggestions from users.
  2. To reduce the possibility of spam to the site.

Contact Forms

If you use the contact form on this site you must opt-in to saving your name, email address and website (if entered) in cookies.

These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment and to enable email notifications of any replies to your comment if you choose to recieve them. These cookies will last for one year.

Free Download

As part of the registration process for recieving the free video editing guide, I collect personal information, specifically your name and email address.

I use that information for a number of reasons:

  1. To ensure that the free download is being sent to someone that actually wants it.
  2. To reduce the possibility of spam or bot attacks or abuse through that form.
  3. To tell you about stuff relevant to the subject of this website that you may find interesting.
  4. To deliver on a weekly basis an email version of the weekly blog posting.
  5. To OCCASIONALLY pass on exclusive offers from relevant companies that that have been offered to me.
  6. To contact you if I need to obtain or provide additional information.

I don’t rent or trade email lists with other organizations and businesses.

I use a third-party provider, MailChimp, to administer the entire signup process, retain your data and to deliver any mailings.

Mailchimp then gathers statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help me monitor and improve my e-newsletter.

For more information, please see MailChimp’s privacy notice here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/

You can unsubscribe to mailings at any time of the day or night by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of my emails or by clicking on the Contact button on this site and requesting removal from the list.
