Privacy
What we collect, honestly.
Edvidi has no accounts, so there is no profile of you anywhere in it. Here is everything that does get stored, and why.
Your viewers are never tracked
Watch pages — the /w/… links you share — load no analytics, set no
analytics cookies, and contact no third party about the person watching.
If you send a link to thirty people, we learn nothing about those thirty people.
What a video stores
- The video link you paste, its title, and the questions you write.
- Answers viewers give, and the name they optionally type — if they leave it blank, the answer is anonymous.
- A random id per video, a secret edit token, and a random session id per viewer. None of these identify a person.
- A viewing passcode, if you set one, stored only as a salted hash — we cannot read it back.
No IP addresses, emails, or device fingerprints are stored against any of this. Deleting a video deletes its questions, sessions and answers with it, immediately and permanently.
Analytics on this site
On our own pages — this one, the home page and the editor — we would like to count visits with Google Analytics, so we know whether anyone is using this thing. It is off until you say yes: decline and no Google script is ever loaded and no request is ever made to them. We turn off ad personalisation and Google Signals, and IPs are anonymised.
Your choice, right now:
Everything stored on your device
Not a sample — this is the whole list, and the last column is read from your own browser as you look at it. Turn analytics off above and watch the two Google rows change: we delete those cookies rather than just stop using them.
| Name | Kind | What it's for | Kept for | On this device |
|---|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Cookie | Google Analytics: tells a returning visit from a new one | 13 months | … |
_ga_CRDBJWWT0G | Cookie | Google Analytics: keeps one visit's page views together | 13 months | … |
edvidi.consent | Local storage | Your answer to the analytics question, so we stop asking | Until you change or clear it | … |
edvidi.mine | Local storage | The “Your videos” list — your own edit links, kept on this device so you don't lose them | Until you clear it | … |
edvidi.vp.… | Local storage | A viewing passcode you already typed, so a locked video doesn't ask twice | Until you clear it | … |
The three edvidi. entries never leave your browser — they are not sent
to us or to anyone else, and they are what makes the product work without accounts.
Those two Google cookies sit on your device for 13 months. What Google keeps on its own servers is a separate thing, and we set both of its clocks to the shortest it allows: the events for 2 months, and the identifier attached to them for 2 months. Neither clock restarts when you come back — they run from when the data was collected, and then it goes.
What we never do
- Sell or share your data with anyone.
- Advertise to you, or let anyone else advertise to you here.
- Email you. We do not know your email.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask for a copy of anything held about you, or ask for it to be erased. In practice you already hold both switches: the edit link for a video lets you export or delete everything in it yourself, and declining analytics leaves nothing to erase.
If you would like a hand, email support@interakly.com. The data controller for this site is Interakly. We answer people, not ticket numbers.
Changes
If this ever changes, this page changes with it — and the analytics choice above resets, so you get asked again rather than opted in quietly.
