Sharing & Disclosure
We never sell personal information. We share limited data with:
- Service Providers: hosting (e.g., Vercel), storage (e.g., S3-compatible vendors), analytics, email delivery, customer support tools, and payment processors (Creem). They act on our instructions and must protect the data.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We use strictly necessary cookies for authentication and security, plus optional analytics cookies to understand aggregate product usage. Manage preferences through the cookie banner or browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may limit access to protected routes.
Third-Party Embedded Content
Some videos are embedded from platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, or Instagram. These services may collect data independently in accordance with their policies when you interact with embedded players. Review their privacy policies if you choose to engage with embedded content.

- Deleted videos may remain in backups for up to 30 days.
- Transaction records may be retained for at least 7 years to satisfy accounting laws.
Security Measures
We implement TLS encryption in transit, hashed and salted passwords at rest, least-privilege access controls, audit logging, and regular security reviews. No system is 100% secure, so please enable multi-factor authentication and report suspected abuse immediately.
International Data Transfers
We operate globally and may store data in the United States, European Union, or other jurisdictions where our infrastructure or vendors reside. When transferring data internationally, we use lawful mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or vendor-specific safeguards.
Children’s Privacy
Funny Cat Videos targets a general audience but enforces a minimum age of 13 (or older where local law requires). Parents or guardians who believe their child provided data without consent should contact us so we can remove it promptly.
