Privacy Policy

Introduction

OpenHEVCVideo is designed around local playback of HEVC video files in the browser. This Privacy Policy explains what data the site may process, what it does not intentionally collect, and how the product handles privacy in a no-account, no-payment workflow.

Information We Collect

We collect or process only limited categories of data required to operate the site and improve reliability:

1. Local File Access in Your Browser — When you choose a video, the browser may read the file through File or Blob APIs so the player can inspect and attempt playback. The product is designed so that the selected video content stays in your local browser session and is not uploaded merely to open it.
2. Technical Usage Data — We may collect limited operational data about page visits, feature use, errors, performance, or browser environment to keep the site functioning and improve compatibility.
3. Device and Browser Information — We may process general environment data such as browser family, operating system, language, viewport, or feature availability.
4. Cookies or Similar Storage — We may use cookies or local storage for essential site behavior, analytics preferences, locale selection, or similar operational purposes.

We do not require an account to use the player, and we do not require payment information to open a local HEVC file.

How We Use Your Information

We use limited data to:

• Provide the site and local playback workflow.
• Diagnose player errors, crashes, and compatibility issues.
• Improve browser support and product quality.
• Maintain security, prevent abuse, and protect the service.
• Respond to support or product questions if you contact us.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data only in these situations:

• With service providers who help us operate the website or analytics stack under appropriate restrictions.
• If required to comply with applicable law or a lawful request.
• To protect the rights, security, or integrity of the service.

The selected video file itself is not intended to be shared with service providers just because you open it in the player.

Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the site and any limited operational data we process. No internet-connected service can guarantee perfect security, but we work to reduce unnecessary data collection and exposure.

Local playback boundary

OpenHEVCVideo is built so that choosing a local HEVC file does not require creating an account or uploading the file to our servers. The browser may still request normal website assets such as scripts, styles, fonts, images, or analytics resources. Those requests are part of delivering the website itself and are separate from uploading video content.

Third-party services

The site may rely on third-party infrastructure for hosting, analytics, observability, or similar website operations. Those providers may receive standard web request data such as IP address, user agent, and request metadata when you load the site.

Your choices

If you do not want the site to access a file locally, do not select the file in the player. You may also block optional cookies or analytics using browser settings, subject to the site continuing to work correctly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material updates will be reflected by changing the date at the top of this page.
