Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 2 September 2026
This privacy policy explains how Find Me A Video (“we”, “our”, or “us”) collects, protects, and uses your data when you visit FindMeAVideo.com. We are committed to maintaining the privacy and security of our visitors while providing a transparent overview of our data practices in compliance with the UK/EU GDPR, CCPA, and global privacy standards.
1. Who We Are and How to Contact Us
If you have any questions regarding this privacy policy or your personal data rights, you can reach us directly:
  • Website: FindMeAVideo.com
  • Contact Email: findmeavideo@gmail.com
2. What Data We Collect and Why
Public Comments
When you leave a comment on our blog posts, we collect the details you type into the comments form (such as your name, email address, and website), alongside your IP address and browser user agent string.
  • Purpose: To display your contribution to our research community and prevent automated spam.
  • Legal Basis: Our legitimate interest in keeping the website secure, functional, and spam-free.
Gravatar Profile Images
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: automattic.com. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Local Analytics (Burst Statistics)
We track basic, anonymous visitor behavior (like which video posts are viewed most frequently) using a tool called Burst Statistics. Unlike traditional tracking scripts, this analytics tool runs entirely on our own server, does not track you across other websites, anonymizes your IP address, and does not share your data with big tech advertising companies.
  • Purpose: To help us understand what kind of rare variety and circus footage our audience enjoys discovering.
Security Logs (Wordfence)
To protect our website from malicious hacking attempts, brute-force logins, and digital threats, we utilize Wordfence Security. Wordfence scans incoming web traffic and records temporary IP address data to block malicious actors.
  • Purpose: Website safety and security.
Accessibility Interface (OneTap)
Our site includes an accessibility toolbar to assist users with visual impairments, epilepsy, or ADHD. If you adjust font sizes, contrast, or profiles, your preferences are saved locally on your device via browser cookies or local storage so the site remains accessible to you during your visit.
3. Cookies and Choice
We use the Complianz cookie consent manager to give you clear control over optional data storage.
  • Comment Cookies: If you choose to save your details when leaving a comment, a cookie will store your name and email on your device for one year for your convenience.
  • Preference Cookies: Saved via your accessibility toolbar choices.
    You can manage, change, or withdraw your cookie consent preferences at any time by clicking the “Manage Consent” tab at the bottom of our website.
4. Who We Share Data With
We value your privacy and never sell or rent your data to third-party advertisers. Data is only processed through trusted automated tools essential for running the site:
  • Automated Spam Detection: To check and filter public comments.
  • Gravatar: To check for profile pictures using hashed emails.
5. How Long We Retain Data
  • Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically.
  • Security Logs & Metrics: Anonymized statistics and security firewall logs are automatically cleared or rotated out after a short retention period.
6. Your Global Data Rights (GDPR/CCPA)
Regardless of where you live in the world, you hold the following rights regarding the comments and personal details you leave on our site:
  • The Right to Request Access: You can ask for an exported file of the personal data we hold about you.
  • The Right to Deletion (“Right to be Forgotten”): You can ask us to erase your comments and any personal metadata we hold. This does not include data we are legally required to keep for security or administrative purposes.
To exercise these rights, please send an email request to findmeavideo@gmail.com.
7. External Links Disclaimer
Our blog posts frequently link to external video platforms (such as YouTube) or third-party platforms where you can choose to “buy me a coffee.” We do not control the privacy practices or cookie deployments of external platforms once you leave FindMeAVideo.com.
