This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your data when you use the Vignetta platform, including our website ( www.spinwit.org), mobile app, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). This policy applies to all users, whether you're watching videos, uploading content, or participating in features like the Vignetta's Reward Partner Program or Vignetta Paid Memberships.

If you join the Vignetta's Reward Partner Program or Paid Memberships, we may collect additional details, such as payment information or tax details, as required by law.
- Content You Upload: If you upload videos, comments, or other content, we collect that content and associated metadata (e.g., upload time, title, or tags).
- Interactions: We collect data about your actions, such as videos you watch, like, share, or comment on, channels you subscribe to, and playlists you create.

Information We Collect Automatically
- Device and Usage Data: We collect information about your device (e.g., IP address, device type, operating system, browser), location (based on IP or device settings, if enabled), and how you interact with the Service (e.g., watch history, search queries, time spent on videos).
- Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies, pixel tags, and other tracking technologies to personalize your experience, serve ads, and analyze usage. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings or our cookie consent tool at www.spinwit.org/cookies.
- Analytics: We use analytics tools to understand how users engage with the Service, such as which videos are popular or how features are used.
Information from Third Parties
- Third-Party Services: If you sign in with a third-party account (e.g., Google or Apple), we may receive information like your email or name, subject to their privacy policies.
- Advertisers and Partners: We may receive aggregated or anonymized data from advertising partners or analytics providers to improve our Service or ad targeting.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Provide the Service: Host and display your content, enable video playback, recommend videos, and support features like subscriptions, comments, or playlists.
- Personalize Your Experience: Tailor content and ads based on your watch history, search queries, and preferences.
- Improve the Service: Analyze usage to enhance features, fix bugs, and develop new products.
- Serve Ads: Deliver relevant advertisements, including personalized ads based on your interests, unless you opt out where available (see www.spinwit.org/privacy#choices).
- Ensure Safety and Compliance: Detect and prevent fraud, spam, abuse, or illegal activity, including through automated systems that analyze content for violations of our Community Guidelines.
- Communicate with You: Send updates, respond to inquiries, or notify you about account activity or policy changes.

How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information as follows:
- With Your Consent: We share your content (e.g., videos or comments) as you direct, such as when you make it public or share it via the Service.

- Affiliates: We may share data with companies in the Vignetta Inc. corporate group to support the Service.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose information to comply with laws, court orders, or government requests, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of Vignetta, our users, or others.
- Business Transfers: If Vignetta Inc. is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred, subject to confidentiality protections.
- Aggregated or Anonymized Data: We may share non-identifiable data (e.g., usage trends) with partners, advertisers, or researchers.
Your Choices
- Account Settings: You can manage your account settings, such as privacy preferences or notification options, in the app.
- Content Removal: You can delete your videos or comments at any time, as described in our Terms of Service.
- Cookies and Ads: Opt out of personalized ads or manage cookie settings at www.spinwit.org/cookies. Note that opting out may not stop all ads, but they will be less tailored.
- Location Data: You can disable location sharing in your device settings or Vignetta app settings.
- Do Not Track: We do not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals, but you can manage tracking via cookie settings.
Data Security
We use industry-standard security measures, such as encryption and secure servers, to protect your data. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Notify us at support@spinwit.org if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
Data Retention
We retain your data only as long as necessary to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes. For example:
- Uploaded content is retained until you delete it, though server copies may persist for a commercially reasonable period, as noted in our Terms of Service.
- Account and usage data are retained while your account is active and for a period thereafter to comply with legal requirements or support analytics. You can request deletion of your account at www.spinwit.org/help/delete-account.
Children's Privacy
The Service is not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country) without parental consent. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13 without consent and will delete such data if identified.
International Data Transfers
Vignetta Inc. is based in the United States, and your data may be processed in the U.S. or other countries with different privacy laws. We use safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, to protect data transferred internationally.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights under laws like the GDPR or CCPA, including:
- Accessing, correcting, or deleting your personal data.
- Objecting to or restricting certain data processing.
- Requesting data portability.
To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@spinwit.org or visit www.spinwit.org/help/privacy-rights. We will respond within the timeframes required by law.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our Service, legal requirements, or business practices. We will provide reasonable notice of material changes via the Service or email, unless the changes are urgent (e.g., for legal or security reasons). Your continued use of the Service after the updated policy takes effect constitutes your acceptance.
