Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Insight Video Project LLC collects, uses, stores, and discloses personal information in connection with our website and publicly accessible informational video materials. We are committed to protecting your privacy while providing open access to educational content. This page explains the types of information we collect, why we collect it, the lawful bases for processing (as applicable), and how you can exercise your rights. It also describes our cookie and advertising practices. If you require formal verification, documentation, or have a privacy-related request, contact our privacy team using the address and phone number listed in the footer. We process personal data only to support content delivery, respond to inquiries, comply with legal obligations, and to enable limited, transparent advertising that supports open access distribution.
Information We Collect and Why (150–300 words)
We collect information you provide directly when you contact us, such as your name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message. Contact submissions are used to respond to inquiries, process accessibility requests, and address reports or corrections about our videos. When you interact with our publicly available videos or pages, we may collect technical data automatically, including IP addresses, device and browser details, page views, timestamps, and referral information to help operate and improve the site. We may also process limited identifiers (such as cookie identifiers) used for analytics and advertising controls. We do not collect or sell sensitive personal categories for advertising purposes. Personal information is processed to fulfill requests, maintain the site, comply with legal obligations, and to support limited, clearly labeled advertising that helps fund open access content. Any collections that could be used to personalize ads are controlled and documented, and users may opt out of non-essential cookies. Where applicable, we rely on legitimate interests to operate and improve services and on consent for non-essential cookies and tracking used for advertising. We retain information only as long as necessary for these purposes and in line with legal requirements.
Cookies, Advertising, and Third Parties (150–300 words)
We use cookies and similar technologies to provide essential site functionality, analyze usage, and support limited advertising that helps fund open access distribution. Essential cookies enable site navigation and security features. Non-essential cookies may include analytics and advertising cookies that help us understand audience reach and to present ads that are relevant while maintaining transparency. Advertising partners and ad platforms we work with may set cookies or process identifiers; we screen partners to ensure compliance with platform policies, including Google Ads and Meta Ads guidelines. Ads are clearly labeled and do not influence editorial content. If you reject non-essential cookies using our cookie preference control or browser settings, non-essential tracking and personalized advertising will be disabled. We share limited data (such as aggregated analytics or hashed identifiers) with service providers that assist with hosting, analytics, and ad delivery; these providers act as processors under contract and are required to protect the data. We do not permit third parties to use our site for illicit or misleading advertising and we maintain a documented review process for ad partners. For details on the specific cookies in use and categories, refer to the cookie preference control on the site or contact us for a cookie report.
Your Rights, Data Retention, and Security (150–300 words)
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including access, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to processing, and data portability. To exercise these rights or to request a copy of your personal data, contact us using the details below. We will verify identity before responding to requests to prevent unauthorized disclosures. We retain contact form submissions and any associated data only as long as needed to respond, for recordkeeping, or to meet legal obligations. Aggregated analytics data used for measurement and improvement may be retained in anonymized form. We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal data from unauthorized access and accidental loss. While we use industry-standard security measures, no transmission over the internet or electronic storage is fully secure. If we become aware of a security incident affecting your data, we will follow applicable notification obligations and inform affected users as required by law. If you have concerns about data handling, please reach out with the subject line “Privacy Inquiry” so we can prioritize your request.
