Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy is meant to help you understand what information we collect, why we collect it, and how you can update, manage, export, and delete your information. HypermediaLAB builds a range of services. Our services include:

• Platforms, apps and sites of HypermediaLAB
• Products that are integrated into third-party apps and sites

You can use our services in a variety of ways to manage your privacy. For example, if you want to create and manage content like hypermedia videos, or see more relevant search results, you can sign up and create an account in HypermediaLAB. And you can use many HypermediaLAB services when you’re signed out or without creating an account at all, like searching on HypermediaLAB or watching HypermediaLAB videos. And across our services, you can adjust your privacy settings to control what we collect and how your information is used.

INFORMATION HYPERMEDIALAB COLLECTS

We collect information to provide better services to all our users. The information HypermediaLAB collects, and how that information is used, depends on how you use our services and how you manage your privacy controls.

When you’re signed in, we also collect information that we store with your HypermediaLAB Account, which we treat as personal information. When you create a HypermediaLAB account, you provide us with personal information that includes your name and a password. You can also choose to add a phone number or payment information to your account. Even if you aren’t signed in to a HypermediaLAB Account, you might choose to provide us with information — like an email address to receive updates about our services. We also collect the content you create, upload, or receive from others when using our services, and comments you make on HypermediaLAB videos.
