How we protect your information
This data will not be publicly displayed or revealed to other users: any payment information you provide; your password details; your IP address; your phone number(unless you provide your contact information in your posts); communications you send to us (for example, when you ask for support, send us questions, or report an issue); We don’t give your personal information to any third-party services, except when it’s necessary to provide Vidu Services (like when we partner with payment processors). When we share data with third-party services that support our delivery of the Vidu Services, we require that they protect your personal information to the same standards we do.
We do reserve the right to disclose personal information when we believe that doing so is reasonably necessary to comply with the law or law enforcement, to prevent fraud or abuse, or to protect Vidu’s legal rights.
What your information is in public
When you create an account, we create a profile page for you on Vidu, containing your account name, and a list of content you have posted. Whenever your account name appears on Vidu (for instance, when you react with someone’s videos), people can click your account name to see your profile. The profile is searchable on Vidu or via search engines like Google. Here are some of the things that will be publicly viewable on your profile, or elsewhere on Vidu: the account name; any information you choose to add to your profile (like a picture, bio, your location, or your role); videos you’ve posted; playlists you’ve created; any reactions you’ve posted on Vidu; if you have “subscribed” a people or a playlist.
How we use your personal information
We will use the personal information you provide to: identify you when you sign in to your account; enable us to provide you with the Services; send you communications we think you may find useful, but only in accordance with your membership preferences; enable us to contact you regarding any question you make through the Services; analyze the use of the Services and the people visiting to improve our content and Services, and use for other purposes that we may disclose to you when we request your information.
We take securing your data and preserving your privacy very seriously. We never post anything to your Facebook, LinkedIn, or other social accounts without your permission. We do not and will not sell your personal data.
Your choices about your information
You may, of course, decline to submit personally identifiable information through the Service, in which case Vidu may not be able to provide certain services to you. You may update or correct your account information and membership preferences at any time by logging in to your account.
Who can create an Ad campaign on Vidude
Creating campaigns is currently open to advertisers over the age of 18 in New Zealand. Agencies, businesses, and other organizations can also use Vidu to promote their brand. People under 18 (or the legal age in your jurisdiction) are not permitted to use Vidu on their own, and so this privacy policy makes no provision for their use of Vidu.
Changes to Our Privacy Policy
If we change our privacy policies and procedures, we will post those changes on this page to keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we may disclose it.
