Privacy Policy
Last updated: 17 September 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what personal data RozTube Media Ltd ("RozTube", "we", "us") collects when you use roztube.com and its related pages, feeds and embeds (the "Service"), why we collect it, how long we keep it and the rights you have over it.
1. Who is responsible
RozTube Media Ltd is the data controller for the personal data described in this policy. You can reach us about anything privacy-related at privacy@roztube.com. Postal contact details are available on request via legal@roztube.com.
2. What we collect
RozTube is built to collect as little as possible. You can browse the whole site without an account, and we do not run advertising networks, social-media pixels or cross-site trackers.
| Data | When it is collected |
|---|---|
| Server logs: IP address, date and time, requested URL, referrer, browser and device type, response status | Automatically, on every request |
| Contact form: name, email address, message | When you submit the contact form |
| Report form: reason, optional details, optional email address, the reported page | When you use the Report button on a post |
| Comments: display name, comment text, IP address (for abuse prevention) | When you post a comment, where enabled |
| Local preferences: theme choice, player volume and settings, cookie-consent choice | Stored in your browser only (see below) |
The theme, player and consent preferences are kept in your browser's local storage and are never sent to us. Our Cookie Policy describes them in detail.
3. Why we use it and our legal bases
Under the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, Article 6) we rely on the following legal bases:
- Running and securing the Service (server logs, comment IP addresses): our legitimate interest in keeping the Service available, detecting abuse and diagnosing faults (Art. 6(1)(f)).
- Answering you (contact form): our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries, and where relevant taking steps at your request before entering into a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f)).
- Handling reports and legal notices (report form, copyright notices): our legitimate interest in moderating the Service and complying with our legal obligations (Art. 6(1)(c) and (f)).
- Optional analytics: your consent, given through the cookie banner (Art. 6(1)(a)). You can withdraw it at any time as described in the Cookie Policy.
We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling, and we do not sell it.
4. How long we keep it
| Data | Retention |
|---|---|
| Server logs | Up to 30 days, then deleted or fully anonymised |
| Contact form messages | Up to 12 months after the conversation ends, unless a longer period is required by law |
| Report form submissions | Up to 12 months after the report is resolved, so that we can show how we handled it |
| Copyright notices | As long as needed to operate our repeat-infringer policy and defend legal claims |
| Comments | Until the comment or the post is removed; IP addresses no longer than 90 days |
| Backups | Encrypted backups rotate within 30 days |
You can ask us to delete your data sooner; see our data deletion instructions.
5. Who we share it with
We share personal data only with the service providers we need to run RozTube, and only for that purpose:
- Hosting: Hetzner Online GmbH, Germany, hosts our servers and stores our data in the European Union.
- Email delivery: messages you send us through the contact form are delivered to our mailbox by our email provider so that we can reply.
We do not share personal data with advertisers or data brokers. We may disclose data if required by law, court order or a competent authority, or to protect the rights, property or safety of RozTube, our creators or the public.
6. International transfers
Our servers are located in the European Union. If we ever transfer personal data outside the EU or the UK, for example to an email provider, we rely on an adequacy decision or on Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or the UK Information Commissioner, and we take additional safeguards where needed.
7. Your rights
Under the GDPR and UK GDPR
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom you have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you and receive a copy;
- rectify inaccurate or incomplete data;
- erase your data ("right to be forgotten");
- restrict or object to our processing, including processing based on legitimate interests;
- data portability of data you provided to us;
- withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent;
- lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. In the UK this is the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk); in the EU it is the data protection authority of your member state.
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a California resident you have the right to know what personal information we collect, use and disclose; to request deletion; to correct inaccurate information; to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information; and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. RozTube does not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined in the CCPA/CPRA, and we do not use sensitive personal information for purposes that require an opt-out. You may use an authorised agent to submit a request.
How to exercise your rights
Email privacy@roztube.com with your request. We may need to verify your identity, for example by replying to the email address you used with us. We respond within 30 days (or 45 days for CCPA requests) and will tell you if we need longer. These rights are free to exercise.
8. Children
The Service is not directed at children under 13, and children under 16 in the EU/UK should use it only with parental consent. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact privacy@roztube.com and we will delete it.
9. Security
All traffic to the Service is encrypted with HTTPS. Administrative access is restricted to named staff, protected by strong authentication and logged. Personal data is stored on servers in the EU with access limited to those who need it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; if we learn of a breach affecting your data we will notify you and the relevant authority as required by law. Please report security concerns to security@roztube.com.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top tells you when it last changed, and we will post a notice on the Service for material changes.
