This Privacy Statement applies to all information collected through our Services (including our Website, as described above) and any related services, sales, marketing or events.

When you contact us via email or request support online, we may collect or ask you to provide necessary information.
Such information may include, but is not limited to, your name, email address, order number, how you use our services, how you interact with our services when you use our services, the actions you take on our platform (such as the number of images you generated, your sharing activities, or third-party integration you enable), your computer or device information (such as hardware and system versions, crash logs, screenshots, video recordings, etc.). In general, we will not collect more information than is necessary to investigate the issue you encounter. We will only use such information to provide customer service and/or resolve the technical issues you encounter.
Cookies
When you visit our website, we may store cookies (and other tracking technologies such as web beacons and pixels) on your computer to facilitate and customize your use of our website. A cookie is a small data text file that a website stores on your computer's hard drive (if your web browser permits) that can be retrieved later to identify you to us. Our cookies may store information about your account information. You can always reject our cookies if your browser permits, but such disabling may cause certain features of our website to not function properly and your online experience may be limited. You can choose to delete cookies at any time; however, you may lose any information that enables you to access our website more quickly and efficiently, including but not limited to login and personalization settings. It is recommended that you keep your internet browser and operating system up to date and consult the help and guidance provided by the developer of your internet browser and the manufacturer of your computer or device if you are unsure how to adjust your privacy settings.
Information We Receive from Third Parties
Vidwuz may interoperate with third parties to provide you with a seamless experience. Third parties may share some of your information with us, such as your name, email address, or other information necessary to enable the integration. In addition, if you register or log in to our services using one of our single sign-on providers (such as Google, LinkedIn, and Facebook), we collect authentication data that the provider provides to us in order to log you in.
Placing an Order
When you purchase our products or services, billing is handled by a third-party service provider acting on our behalf; therefore, you are purchasing directly from the service provider, not from Vidwuz. The processing of your personal information will be subject to any privacy policy or terms of service posted by the service provider.
The service provider may request billing information, such as your name, email address, home or work address, telephone or mobile number, payment information (including credit card number, expiration date, security code, issuing bank name, etc.). The purpose of this information is to fulfill orders, process payments, deliver products, provide customer service, etc. Third-party service providers may transmit some of your personal information to us, but not payment information. We may use the information received to verify your subscription, contact you about the status of your order, and renew your subscription (if applicable).
We have agreements with all third-party service providers that they will not use our users' personal information for their own marketing purposes or share this information with other parties.
Use of social networks
If you choose to "share" Vidwuz products with friends through Facebook or other social networks, you may receive cookies from these websites. We do not control the setting of these cookies, so please check these websites for more information about their cookies and how to manage them.
Additional note: Once Vidwuz videos and images are posted to other third-party platforms, the content will be subject to the constraints and management of the platform.
