Your video is never uploaded
Many tools ask you to trust a promise. Video Mender is built so that uploading your video is not possible. Here is what that means.
What we collect
Nothing about your files: no video, audio, file name, thumbnail, length, format or size, and not even the fact that you opened one. There are no accounts, no email addresses, no cookies and no fingerprinting.
The only thing we measure is anonymous page views: which page was viewed, roughly where from, and what kind of device. This is the same kind of information any website logs. It does not identify you.
Why your video can't be uploaded
- There is nowhere to send it. The site has no server that accepts files, so no bug or setting could start sending one.
- Your browser blocks it. The site tells your browser not to connect to any other website, so data could not leave your device even by mistake.
- Everything comes from this site. The video engine is served from this website, not from another company, so no one else learns that you used the tool.
- Nothing is kept. Your files exist only while the tab is open. Close it and your files, and any results you haven't downloaded, are gone.
Page-view analytics
- Sent to this site only. Page views go to this website, not to an outside analytics site.
- Page views only. We don't track clicks or other actions.
- Just the page address. Anything extra in the link is removed first, and nothing about your files is ever in the link.
Analytics uses no cookies and stores nothing on your device. If you block it, everything on the site still works.
How we check it
Automated tests stop a release if any of this stops being true. They check that the site has no way to receive files, that converting a real video sends nothing anywhere, that analytics stays limited to page views, and that your browser is still told to block other websites.
The trade-off
Because there is no server, your device does the work. A long or high-resolution video can take a while and use a lot of memory, and phones are slower than laptops. Closing the tab ends everything, so download your results before you leave.
