Privacy Policy

RiftVods is browsable without an account. Creating one is optional and only unlocks personalization features (like a watchlist). This page describes what's collected either way, and it's written to match what the site actually does - not a generic template.

• If you create an account: your email address, and either a password (stored only as a bcrypt hash - we never store or can see your actual password) or, if you sign in with Google, the name and profile picture Google shares with us.
• Automatically: standard server logs (IP address, timestamps) used only for security purposes like rate-limiting login attempts, and basic site-analytics events (pages viewed) if Google Analytics is enabled for this deployment.
• Cookies: one strictly-necessary cookie to keep you signed in, and - only if analytics is enabled - Google Analytics' own cookies.

We don't collect payment information - RiftVods doesn't charge for anything.

• We don't sell or rent your personal information to anyone.
• We don't run third-party ad networks or ad trackers.
• We don't share your email or account data with anyone outside the services listed below.

• Google - if you choose to sign in with Google, or if this deployment has analytics enabled.
• Resend - sends the one transactional email this site sends: password-reset links. Resend never receives your password.
• Neon (database hosting) and Vercel (site hosting) - infrastructure providers that store/serve the site and its data on our behalf.

Account data is kept for as long as the account exists. Password-reset links expire after one hour and are deleted once used (or replaced by a newer request). Rate-limiting records are short-lived, bucketed counters, not tied to anything else about you.

There's no self-service "delete my account" button yet. To have your account and associated data deleted, email contact@riftvods.com from the address on the account, and it'll be removed.

RiftVods isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from them.

If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Questions? Email contact@riftvods.com.
