This Privacy Policy explains how Irondale Village, Inc., a Florida corporation doing business as VidFuego (“VidFuego,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, discloses, retains, and protects information when you use the VidFuego mobile app, websites, links, recording sessions, cloud features, subscriptions, and related services (the “Service”). Our notice address is 4878 S Lake Dr, Boynton Beach, FL 33436, United States.
Some VidFuego features are local or device-to-device and do not send their content to VidFuego. This Policy describes information collected by VidFuego or its service providers; it does not mean that every listed category is collected during every use.
1. Information You Provide
We collect account and profile information you provide or authorize, such as display name, username, email address, Apple or Google sign-in identifier, profile preferences, subscription status, support communications, squad or invitation relationships, and account blocks. If an age range is requested to meet an age-related requirement, we use it for eligibility and safety rather than advertising or profiling; VidFuego does not require a birth date merely to build a behavioral profile.
We process videos, audio, photos, captions, project settings, invitations, abuse-report descriptions, and other content you choose to record, import, edit, transfer, save, export, share, or submit. Do not provide information or content you are not authorized to provide.
2. Information Collected for Operation and Security
We collect information needed to operate, secure, and support requested workflows, including VidFuego user and device identifiers; operating-system and app versions; language and device capabilities; camera role; network and connection state; IP address as handled by network infrastructure; timestamps; session and invitation identifiers; transfer, entitlement, quota, and storage state; and redacted error or reliability records.
These operational records describe requested feature activity and failures. The VidFuego mobile app does not use a separate feature-level behavioral analytics system. Website-only analytics is described in section 15. Nearby discovery can reveal that compatible devices are in proximity, but VidFuego does not request precise GPS location for ordinary nearby recording and does not upload your address book to create squads.
3. Cameras, Microphones, Photos, Local Network, and Nearby Devices
With your permission, VidFuego accesses cameras and microphones to record; Photos to import or save media; and local-network or nearby-device capabilities to discover, connect, synchronize, and transfer recordings. You can change permissions in iOS Settings, but disabling them may prevent related features from working. Audio, video, faces, voices, movements, performances, and surroundings may appear in recordings.
VidFuego may analyze visual or audio characteristics such as faces, focus, motion, timing, framing, or voice activity to synchronize, frame, or edit content you request. This is feature processing, not identification through a biometric identity database.
4. Local, Peer-to-Peer, and Cloud Processing
Capture, editing, preview, draft, and export operations may occur on your device. Nearby sessions primarily discover, connect, and transfer directly between participating devices. VidFuego does not collect media that remains solely on a device or passes directly between devices without reaching VidFuego-controlled infrastructure.
Anywhere sessions, accounts, invitations, entitlements, cloud transfer, synchronization, and some recovery operations use AWS-hosted infrastructure and may send media and associated metadata through VidFuego systems. A host or recipient may receive and retain a copy of contributed media. Deleting your local copy does not delete copies already transferred, exported, saved, or shared by another person.
5. How We Use Information
We use information to:
- create and authenticate accounts and authorize devices;
- discover and connect cameras;
- create, synchronize, transfer, analyze, edit, export, save, and share recordings as requested;
- manage squads, invitations, subscriptions, entitlements, Cloud Camera Minutes, storage, and Cloud Boost Packs;
- provide support and respond to privacy, legal, safety, rights, and platform-abuse requests;
- prevent fraud, unauthorized access, abuse, security incidents, and unlawful activity;
- diagnose failures and improve the reliability, security, capacity, and accessibility of the Service;
- enforce our Terms and protect users, VidFuego, and others; and
- comply with legal, accounting, tax, dispute, and regulatory obligations.
Depending on the jurisdiction and activity, these uses are necessary to provide the Service you request, comply with law, protect legitimate security and operational interests, or are based on consent that you may withdraw where applicable. Withdrawing permission may prevent the related feature from operating.
6. Limits on Content and Operational-Data Use
We use user content only to operate, secure, troubleshoot, support, and perform features you request; comply with law; and maintain limited recovery safeguards. We do not use user content for advertising, unrelated commercial use, generalized product research, or training general-purpose or third-party AI models without separate, explicit, optional consent.
We may use information that has been aggregated or de-identified so it cannot reasonably identify a person for security, reliability, capacity planning, and product improvement. We do not use that information for advertising, cross-service tracking, behavioral profiling, sale, or attempted re-identification. Removing direct profile fields alone does not make an identifiable or pseudonymous event stream de-identified.
7. How Information Is Disclosed
We disclose information only as reasonably necessary:
- to session hosts, invited participants, squad contacts, and recipients you select;
- to AWS, which hosts core infrastructure and processes data for VidFuego under its standard data-processing and transfer terms;
- to Apple for App Store distribution, purchases, Sign in with Apple, push notifications, and Apple-provided platform diagnostics;
- to Google when you choose Google Sign-In, and for website-only analytics as described in section 15;
- to Microsoft-hosted and Google Workspace business mailboxes used by authorized support personnel;
- to social platforms, messaging apps, carriers, or other services you direct VidFuego to open or use;
- to professional advisers bound by appropriate duties;
- in connection with a financing, merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale, subject to applicable notice and legal obligations; or
- when reasonably necessary to comply with law, legal process, valid safety requests, or to protect rights and prevent harm.
Apple, Google, social platforms, messaging apps, and carriers may act independently for their own services. Their privacy terms apply to their processing. VidFuego does not sell personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, or track users across other companies’ apps or websites.
When you choose Google Sign-In, VidFuego’s sign-in service receives a Google identity token and uses your Google account identifier, email address and its verification status, and name to authenticate and manage your account. We request basic sign-in and profile access, not additional permissions for your phone number, location, Google contacts, or Google activity history. Our sign-in service does not extract or store phone numbers, approximate location, or Google’s usage history from your Google account.
Google separately processes information to provide its sign-in service. Google says it may use your IP address to estimate a general location for fraud prevention. The Google Sign-In SDK’s privacy disclosures also list name, email address, phone number, approximate location, account and device identifiers, usage data, and other data, with app-functionality or analytics purposes depending on the category. Those SDK disclosures describe Google’s processing, not additional Google-account permissions requested by VidFuego or fields received by our account service. They do not mean VidFuego operates a separate feature-level behavioral analytics system. See Google’s sign-in data disclosure and Google’s Privacy Policy for its processing.
8. Private Collaboration, Blocking, and Abuse Reports
VidFuego provides private, user-directed sessions and invitations rather than a public feed or public user search. Account and invitation metadata may still be used to block unwanted connections, enforce access controls, investigate platform abuse, and protect users.
The in-app reporting control normally sends the reporting and reported account identifiers, selected category, optional description, and minimal relevant invitation, session, app-version, or operational identifiers. VidFuego uses those fields to investigate misuse of its accounts and connection services, respond to the reporter, and disable an account when appropriate. Automated systems may validate, group, prioritize, route, and count reports, but do not disable an account based only on reports. Submitting a report does not automatically upload or preserve recordings. If recordings or other evidence are needed, support will use a separate process that tells you the purpose, recipients, access, and retention before you explicitly provide it. The public support form remains available when the in-app control cannot be used. VidFuego does not proactively scan private recordings unless required by law or necessary for a separately disclosed feature or safety process.
9. Invitations, Messages, Sharing, and Purchases
When you send a squad or session invitation, we process the invite token, sender and recipient context, authorization, expiration, and resolution status. VidFuego may open Messages, WhatsApp, AirDrop, or another service at your direction. Those providers and your carrier process the communication under their own terms.
Apple processes App Store purchases and payment credentials. We receive product, transaction, entitlement, renewal, expiration, refund, revocation, quota, and subscription-status information rather than your full payment-card number. Deleting a VidFuego account does not cancel an Apple subscription.
10. Retention
We use the following launch retention schedule, subject to earlier deletion when required and narrow legal, security, fraud-prevention, accounting, dispute, and recovery exceptions:
- cloud media is temporary transfer staging, not a backup or saved-video benefit. After the host confirms that a recording has been verified and imported into its local Vault, we schedule deletion of the staged S3 object and all its versions. Deletion is asynchronous, with a short safety window and retry checks. A transfer that has not been confirmed may remain available until its transfer window expires: up to 7 days from take creation for Enthusiast or 14 days for Pro. Cancellation, expiration, or account deletion also triggers cleanup. These windows do not promise that received recordings remain available in the cloud;
- local captures remain until you or the operating system deletes them, and local Recently Deleted media remains for up to 30 days;
- authentication refresh sessions remain for no more than 30 days and are revoked immediately on sign-out or account deletion;
- Nearby invitations remain for approximately 5 minutes and Squad invitations for up to 7 days;
- temporary proposals and synchronization state remain for up to 30 days;
- operational logs expire after 30 days; AWS normally completes physical deletion within a further 72 hours, although deletion can occasionally take longer;
- protected DynamoDB point-in-time recovery history remains for up to 35 days;
- App Store notification deduplication records and minimal account-deletion tombstones remain for up to 180 days;
- active account-block records remain until the blocking user unblocks the account or the applicable account is deleted, subject to a limited safety or legal exception;
- ordinary support correspondence remains for up to 2 years after the matter closes;
- closed platform-abuse reports and optional descriptions remain for up to 90 days, while a minimal account-disablement record remains only as long as needed to enforce that action; and
- privacy, legal, copyright, law-enforcement, purchase, tax, and accounting records may remain for up to 7 years, or longer only when law or a documented legal hold requires it.
Inbound support email is stored transiently in a private AWS bucket and deleted after successful forwarding; failed or unprocessed copies expire after up to 7 days. Delivered mailbox copies follow the correspondence periods above. We retain de-identified or aggregated information only while it remains necessary for the approved purposes and cannot reasonably identify a person.
11. Account Deletion
When account deletion begins, we revoke account access immediately, target operational completion within 24 hours, and complete deletion within 30 days unless a documented exception applies. We delete VidFuego-controlled account data and cloud media and retain only records permitted by the schedule above. Completed deletion instructions are reapplied after a controlled recovery restore.
Account deletion cannot remove content already transferred, exported, saved, or shared with another user or third party. It does not necessarily delete local media from every device and does not cancel an Apple subscription.
12. Your Choices and Privacy Rights
You may update profile information; manage iOS permissions; refuse invitations; block accounts; control exports and sharing; delete local projects; and request account deletion through available controls. Use the VidFuego support form and select Privacy to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, consent withdrawal, or an appeal where applicable.
We may verify identity before acting and may deny or limit a request where law permits or requires. We will explain an applicable denial and will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right. You may also complain to your local privacy or data-protection authority.
13. Children and Teens
VidFuego is a general-audience creative service that may be used by children only with the parent or guardian authorization and supervision required by VidFuego and applicable law. A child under 13 may not activate a new VidFuego account until Apple supplies the guardian-managed or confirmed age evidence required by our onboarding flow. If the person instead states that they are under 13, VidFuego stores a local guardian-approval-required marker and keeps any new provider identity provisional and unable to use service features.
VidFuego receives only a coarse age category, declaration class, communication-limit indicator, policy version, and authorization status needed to apply these rules. We do not request an exact birth date or identity document. Apple processes its own Family Sharing, age, and guardian-approval information under Apple’s privacy practices. A successful authorization permits VidFuego to activate the child’s unique account for identity, invitations, device connections, entitlements, safety controls, and requested recording workflows. It does not authorize unrelated advertising, profiling, sale of information, or training general-purpose AI models.
A parent or guardian may withdraw supported consent through Apple or request deletion through VidFuego. Withdrawal blocks service access but does not itself erase the account; deletion follows the account-deletion process so security, subscription, shared-copy, and legal exceptions can be handled correctly. If required authorization is missing, denied, or withdrawn, or if we learn that information was collected from a child contrary to applicable law, we restrict access and take reasonable deletion or remediation steps. Guardians should supervise recording, invitations, transfers, exports, and sharing because another participant may receive and retain a copy outside VidFuego’s control.
14. Security and International Processing
We maintain administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect information and rely on physical and infrastructure safeguards maintained by our hosting and platform providers. These measures include access controls, encryption provided by the platform and infrastructure, limited retention, recovery controls, and operational monitoring. No device, transfer, storage system, or internet service is perfectly secure. Keep devices and credentials secure and verify recipients before sharing. Do not use VidFuego for information requiring guaranteed confidentiality, emergency communications, or regulated storage unless we expressly agree in writing.
VidFuego operates from the United States. Information may be processed in the United States and other countries where providers operate. Where required, we rely on recognized transfer mechanisms, including applicable standard contractual clauses and provider safeguards. Mandatory privacy and consumer rights where you live remain available.
15. Website Analytics; No Advertising Tracking or In-App Analytics
VidFuego does not use advertising SDKs, sell personal information, share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, or track activity across other companies’ apps and websites. The mobile app does not use Google Analytics or a separate feature-level analytics system. Apple may provide diagnostics or App Analytics under its relationship with users and developers.
We use Google Analytics on the website to understand visits, App Store and feature-link clicks, blog-search use, and resource downloads. Website clicks do not establish app installations. Google receives cookie identifiers, browser and device information, network information including your IP address during transmission, and website interactions. We send page paths, language, page type, article category and link placement; we exclude URL query strings, fragments, search text and contact-form fields. We do not send app activity, account identifiers or recordings. Advertising personalization, Google signals and automatic enhanced measurement are disabled.
Where prior consent is required, we load Google Analytics only after you select Allow analytics. In the United States, Australia and New Zealand, we may use it for our legitimate interest in understanding and improving the website where permitted, unless you decline. In all other identified countries and territories, we ask you to opt in, including where we have not yet assessed whether prior consent is legally required. Our hosting provider uses approximate country and, where needed, subdivision information to determine the applicable policy; the browser receives only the consent decision. Unknown locations remain unmeasured. We honor Global Privacy Control and remembered refusals in every region. The Analytics preferences control lets you allow or decline at any time without affecting website or app access.
We remember your choice for six months. Analytics cookies expire after approximately six months without automatic renewal on each visit. Declining or withdrawing stops measurement and removes accessible analytics cookies; it does not erase information already processed. User-level and event-level analytics data is configured for two-month retention without resetting retention on new activity; aggregate reports may remain longer. Use the privacy request process in section 12 for access or deletion requests.
Google processes measurement data under its Analytics data-processing terms, including applicable transfer safeguards. Processing may occur outside your country, including in the United States. See how Google uses information from partner sites and Google’s Privacy Policy. These website practices do not add analytics to the mobile app.
Adding advertising, attribution, external crash reporting, feature-level analytics, a new AI or cloud processor, contact upload, location collection, or a public social feature requires a new privacy review and updated disclosures before production use.
16. Changes, Language, and Contact
We may update this Policy as the Service, vendors, or law changes. We will post the revised revision identifier and effective date and provide additional notice or request consent when required. When applicable law requires acknowledgment or parent or guardian approval for a significant change, we may use Apple’s system-provided approval process and restrict access to the affected features or Service until the required action is completed. Material changes apply prospectively unless law requires otherwise.
