Information you provide
When you use the contact form, we process the name, email address, subject, message, optional page URL, enquiry type, and consent confirmation you submit. FormSubmit relays this information by email to Free Documentary Vault. The website does not maintain its own contact-submission database. We use submitted information only to review, respond to, and keep necessary records of your request.
Information collected automatically
The hosting provider, Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights, consented analytics, and embedded YouTube content may process technical information. Depending on the service and interaction, this can include IP address, browser, device, operating system, referring page, pages visited, approximate location, access time, identifiers, interactions, performance, and error information.
How information may be used
Technical information may be used to operate and secure the website, diagnose issues, understand performance, improve navigation and accessibility, measure consented use, support advertising if enabled, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations. Free Documentary Vault does not state that personal information is sold.
Analytics
Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights
The site includes Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights to understand visits and technical performance. These components may process page, browser, device, network, and performance information. The application does not configure a named Vercel analytics cookie.
Google Analytics 4
Google Analytics 4 is configured but its script loads only after the visitor grants analytics consent. It is used to measure visits, navigation, and site performance. Visitors can reject analytics from the consent controls or clear the saved consent preference in their browser.
Google AdSense and advertising
Advertising is currently disabled in the application. Free Documentary Vault may use Google AdSense in the future. If enabled, advertising vendors may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads, prevent invalid activity, limit frequency, personalize ads where permitted, and understand interactions. Where required, visitors will be able to accept, reject, or manage advertising consent.
YouTube and embedded content
Documentaries use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com embed domain. When a visitor loads or interacts with a player, Google or YouTube may receive the IP address, browser and device details, page URL, video interactions, and Google account or cookie information where applicable. Privacy-enhanced mode does not prevent every transfer of information.
Third-party links and sharing
The site links to external publishers and platforms whose privacy and security practices we do not control. Information may be processed by Vercel for hosting, analytics and performance, Google for consented Analytics and embedded YouTube content, FormSubmit for contact-message delivery, and an advertising provider only if advertising is enabled.
Data retention
Contact messages may remain in our email account for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain records, resolve disputes, or meet legal obligations. FormSubmit may process submissions to provide delivery and abuse protection according to its own practices. Theme and consent preferences remain in the visitor’s browser until cleared.
Data security
Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect the website, but no online transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Your choices and rights
Depending on location, visitors may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, withdrawal of consent, or information about processing. These requests can be submitted through the Contact page.
Children’s privacy
The website is intended for a general audience and is not knowingly designed to collect personal information from children. Children should not submit the contact form without appropriate permission.
International processing
Third-party providers may process technical information outside a visitor’s country. Applicable safeguards depend on the provider and service; this policy does not claim unverified transfer mechanisms.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when the website, providers, or applicable requirements change. A verified privacy contact method will be added when available.
