Your Privacy
Privacy is important to us, just like it is to you.
As the owner of your video, you have complete control over the privacy settings of your published video. You can choose whether or not you want it private, just for you and the recipient, or if you want to make it public for all the contributors to see.
When contributors submit their media to you, they cannot see anything. All that contributors see is a submission page where it's asking them to submit their media. There is no way for contributors to see any media submitted or access your account.
If you want a thrilling read that our lawyers wrote up, check out our Privacy Policy, it's truly a magical read because privacy matters.
We Plant Trees

We're proud to support global reforestation efforts by donating a portion of the proceeds to planting trees.

So let's grow a forest together!
