Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 2025

Welcome to Sora Watermark Adder ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our Sora watermark adder tool available at sorawatermarkadder.org (the "Service").

Our Core Privacy Principle

Your videos never leave your device. Our Sora watermark adder is designed with privacy as the top priority. All video processing happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly technology. We do not upload, store, or transmit your video files to our servers or any third-party services.

Information We Do Not Collect

Because our Sora watermark adder works entirely in your browser, we do NOT collect:

• Your video files
• Video content or metadata
• Personal identification information
• Account credentials (we don't require accounts)
• Payment information (the service is completely free)
• Location data
• Device identifiers

Information We May Collect

We may collect minimal, non-personal information for the sole purpose of improving our Service:

1. Analytics Data

We may collect anonymous usage statistics such as:

• Pages visited on sorawatermarkadder.org
• Time spent on the website
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referring website
• General geographic location (country/region level only)

This data is aggregated and anonymized. It cannot be used to identify individual users.

2. Technical Logs

Our web server automatically logs standard technical information including:

• IP addresses (stored temporarily for security purposes)
• HTTP request headers
• Timestamps of requests

These logs are used solely for security monitoring, debugging, and preventing abuse. They are automatically deleted after 30 days.

How Your Videos Are Processed

When you use our Sora watermark adder:

1. You select a video file from your device
2. The video file is loaded into your browser's memory (RAM)
3. FFmpeg.wasm processes the video entirely within your browser
4. The Sora watermark is added locally on your device
5. The processed video is made available for download
6. All video data is cleared from memory when you close the page

No video data is transmitted over the internet during this process. Your original video and the watermarked output remain exclusively on your device.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Essential Cookies

We may use essential cookies that are strictly necessary for the Service to function properly. These cookies do not collect personal information and cannot be disabled without breaking the Service.

Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our Sora watermark adder. You can disable these through your browser settings. Popular analytics services we may use include:

• Google Analytics (with IP anonymization enabled)
• Privacy-focused alternatives like Plausible or Fathom

Third-Party Cookies

We do not allow third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels on sorawatermarkadder.org.

Third-Party Services

Our website may use the following third-party services:

Content Delivery Network (CDN)

We use CDN services to deliver static assets (JavaScript, CSS, fonts) quickly and reliably. CDN providers may log technical information like IP addresses for their security and performance purposes.

Web Hosting

Our website is hosted by third-party hosting providers. These providers may have access to server logs as described in the Technical Logs section above.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect any information we collect:

• HTTPS encryption for all communications
• Regular security audits of our infrastructure
• Limited access to server logs and analytics data
• Automatic deletion of logs after 30 days

However, because your videos are processed entirely in your browser and never transmitted to our servers, the primary security responsibility for your video content lies with your own device security.

Children's Privacy

Our Sora watermark adder is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since we don't collect personal data through the Service, this risk is minimal. If you believe a child has used our Service, please contact us atsupport@sorawatermarkadder.org.

International Users

Our Service is accessible worldwide. If you access sorawatermarkadder.org from outside the United States, please note that:

• All video processing occurs locally in your browser, regardless of location
• Minimal technical logs may be stored on servers located in the United States
• We comply with applicable international privacy laws including GDPR and CCPA

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your information:

• Access any personal data we hold about you

Since we don't collect personal data through our Sora watermark adder, these rights primarily apply to any analytics data or communications you may have with us.

• We will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy

• Consent: For non-essential cookies and analytics (where required)
• Legal obligation: To comply with applicable laws and regulations

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. We respect DNT signals and do not track users who have DNT enabled.

No Sale of Personal Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade any personal information to third parties. Because our Sora watermark adder operates entirely in your browser, we don't have access to your video content to sell even if we wanted to. Our business model is based on providing a free, privacy-respecting service.

Summary

To summarize our privacy approach:

• Your videos are processed 100% locally in your browser
• We never see, store, or transmit your video files
• We collect minimal analytics data to improve the service
• We don't sell any data to third parties
• We comply with GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations
• You can contact us anytime with privacy concerns
