Privacy Policy: July 20, 2020

Nexgen Services LLC (we, us, our) collects and uses information in order to operate Vidow. This policy explains how we do this and applies to everyone who uses Vidow or creates a Vidow account.

What Information Do We Collect?

We collect the following personal information:

  • Email address and other Google account profile information, which is collected when you connect your Google account to Vidow.
  • Information you choose to share with us, for example in an email, website form, support ticket, social media, or survey responses.
  • Some technical information about how you use Vidow, for example the type of device you are using, your operating system, IP address, and length of session.

We collect the minimum about of data required to operate Vidow.

We measure visitors to our website using Google Analytics. This records what pages you view within our site, how you arrived at our site and some basic information about your computer. We do not track the content you record nor any non-Vidow web traffic. The information we collect from analytics helps us understand what parts of our sites are doing well, and which need changing. Like most websites, we use this information to improve our customer experience. Please see here how Google uses data. You can also opt out if you wish. Any user who identifies themselves as under 13 years old is automatically opted out of our Google Analytics tracking.

How Do We Use Your Information?

We use your information only for the following purposes:

  • providing Vidow and making sure you can use it properly;
  • managing and administering your account;
  • responding to any questions, comments or complaints we receive from you;
  • communicating with you about Vidow for account-related or promotional purposes;
  • investigating potentially illegal activities on Vidow;
  • analyzing usage of Vidow;
  • improving Vidow.

We will never use your information for targeted advertising. We do not build a personal profile of you other than for supporting authorized educational or school purposes, or as authorized by you (or by a parent or guardian if necessary). We also won’t use your information for any purposes except those above without letting you know and getting your permission if necessary.

If you are a teacher or school we will work with you as far as we are legally able to accommodate your directions regarding our treatment of personal data belonging to your students, recognizing that the school may be in control of personal data relating to its students.

This includes adhering to a school’s requests after Vidow is no longer in use by a teacher or the school or after this policy is terminated or expires in relation to transfers of students’ personal data, deleting students’ personal data and making sure that any third parties that work in connection with Vidow do the same, in each case subject to our legal requirements regarding the use, storage and transfer of such data. You can also request that we provide you with written confirmation of the deletion of your data.

For U.S educational institutions we will work with you to ensure mutual compliance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). FERPA is a Federal law that protects personally identifiable information in students’ education records from unauthorized disclosure. It affords parents the right to access their child’s education records, the right to seek to have the records amended, and the right to have some control over the disclosure of personally identifiable information from the education records. As a parent you may request to access or review your student’s records at anytime by contacting your child’s school directly.

Who Do We Share Your Information With?

We never rent or sell your information.

We don’t share your information except:

  • with third party service providers, such as hosting providers or an email service, so that they can provide services to us. In cases where we share student personal data with these third parties, they will be notified and be obligated to comply with the commitments in this policy. We maintain a list of these third party service providers.
  • if we have a legal obligation to disclose the information (for example, if a court orders us to).
  • if another company buys or invests in our company, or if we go insolvent, or if we merge with another company, in which case the company that receives your information will protect the information in the same way we do. If we transfer our obligations under our terms of use to another company, this may mean that we need to transfer your personal data to that company. We will contact you to let you know if we plan to do this. If you are unhappy with the transfer you may contact us to end your contract with us within 30 days and if you do so, we will not transfer your data to that company.

All information collected through Vidow is stored in Google Cloud and hosted in the USA. We take reasonable steps to protect your personal data when it is transferred to Google Cloud, and Google participates in the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield arrangement. This means it safeguards your personal data appropriately.

Children Under the Age of 13

The Vidow team takes the privacy of students and children extremely seriously. We do not intentionally target our services to students or children of any kind. Educators that have the authority to act on parent’s behalf may allow students under 13 to use our services, if such use is for educational purposes, and if this use ensures that students will not provide any personal information and will not share, or otherwise, distribute recordings containing personal information of a student.

Vidow has taken and upholds the Student Privacy Pledge per the terms consistent on studentprivacypledge.org.

Security

We have strict security measures in place to try to protect your information and make sure that it is not lost, damaged or accessed by anyone who should not see it. Your data is transmitted securely over SSL and stored in Google Cloud. To learn more about Google Cloud’s security measures, please visit https://cloud.google.com/security.

Additionally, we conduct regular security audits on these services and access to this data is restricted to only authorized employees of Vidow with suitable training and background checks.

In the unlikely event of an unauthorized disclosure of your data we will notify you by email and, when possible, by telephone, and act in accordance with our legal requirements to resolve such disclosure and prevent any future unauthorized disclosure. Every user affected by the unauthorized disclosure will be notified, either by us or in conjunction with the school district or educational agency.

Your Rights

You can ask us for a copy of your personal information or your child’s personal information, which we will send to you as soon as possible (but within 30 days). We may require you to provide verification of your identity before providing a copy of the information we hold.

You can also ask us to correct any information we hold about you that is inaccurate. If you would like us to send you a copy of your information or correct your information, please email us at [email protected].

If you are a school, you may request to review your stude

European Union Residents

If you are a resident of the European Union, you have certain additional rights with respect to your personal information under the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (the “GDPR”), including the following:

  • The right of access to your personal information.
  • The right to rectify your personal information if it is incorrect or incomplete.
  • The right to have your personal information erased (“right to be forgotten”) if certain grounds are met.
  • The right to withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal information at any time (if our processing is based on consent).
  • The right to object to our processing of your personal information (if processing is based on legitimate interests).
  • The right to object to our processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
  • The right to receive your personal information from us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and the right to transmit your personal information to another controller without hindrance from us (data portability).

If you are located in the European Union and you are or have been a Vidow customer, we may send you marketing communications based on our legitimate interests, subject always to your right to opt out of such communications. Further, if you are located in the European Union, we will never share your personal information with a third party for such third party’s marketing purposes, unless you have specifically consented to us doing so.

You may contact us at [email protected] to exercise any of the above rights. We may request specific information from you to confirm your identity, and in some circumstances we may charge a reasonable fee for access to your personal information. Furthermore, if you believe that our processing of your personal information is inconsistent with your data protection rights under the GDPR and we have not adequately addressed your concerns, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority of your country.

For purposes of the GDPR, we are a “controller” and you are a “data subject.”

Vidow uses cookies to recognize you when you log in with Google to our website or application and to track referral purchases for our affiliate program . You can block cookies through your browser settings, but if you do you might not be able to use Vidow properly.

Communication

Upon installing our application, all non-student users over the age of 13 agree to receive account-related and marketing emails including relevant Vidow information like new feature releases, product tutorials, customer success stories, and community-related features. You may opt-out of marketing communication at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email received, or by providing us notice to the contact information listed here.

We are not responsible for users who identify themselves incorrectly (e.g. students who declare that they are corporate users), though as noted above we are able to change any user’s incorrect information upon request.

Permissions

Video Downloader Plus Extension requires a certain amount of permissions so you can enjoy its full potential. For security reasons we use the narrowest permissions available to still provide you the full functionality. These permissions are :

  • webRequest & webRequestBlocking - Extension is required to determine the content types of the videos and also turn certain video links into downloadable links so the users can download the them. Hence the extension needs webRequest permission along with the webRequestBlocking permission.
  • <all_urls> - Extension is supposed to scan the every web site the user visits and turn the extension into blue color if it detects any videos on that site. Hence the extension requires host permission to scan all the sites the user visits.
  • tabs - Extension queries for the current tab URL and the title whenever it detects new videos and stores those data along with the video information.
  • storage - Extension requires storage permissions to store extension’s settings such as proxy details, list of video types, whether to enable chrome casting etc.
  • Cookies - we use cookies permission in order to authenticate users with our server for login and his subscription plan
  • contextMenus - Read here
  • Changes to This Policy

    We may make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any material changes, we will send you a link to our new policy along with a summary of our updated data collection practices via email or through our application. We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy periodically to stay up-to-date about our privacy practices. As long as you use Vidow, you are agreeing to this Privacy Policy and any updates we make to it.

    We will notify schools in advance of material changes to this policy.
