Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Aethera.TV collects, uses, and protects information across our video platform, dashboards, and community features. We keep this page updated to reflect new tools or regulations.

Last updated: March 29, 2026

Information we collect

  • Account details. When you sign up we store your username, email, encrypted password, date of birth, country, and any optional profile details you choose to share.
  • Engagement data. We log basic video analytics (impressions, watch time, retention milestones, device/traffic type) to power creator dashboards.
  • Audience analytics inputs. When you watch while signed in, we may use your country on file, date of birth, and optional gender setting to produce aggregated region, age, and gender audience reports for creators. We do not show those fields publicly on your profile.
  • Cookies and device signals. Essential cookies keep you signed in, secure payments, and prevent abuse. Optional analytics cookies help us understand feature usage.
  • Community content. Messages, uploads, and channel settings you submit are stored so we can deliver those to viewers and moderators.

How we use your information

We rely on your data to run the service safely and responsibly:

  • Authenticate logins, secure API requests, and personalize dashboards.
  • Measure video performance so creators understand retention, funnels, subscriber growth, and audience mix.
  • Apply age checks, account recovery protections, and region-aware safety or moderation rules.
  • Process payments (subscriptions) when enabled.
  • Enforce community guidelines, investigate abuse, and respond to DMCA notifications.
  • Improve reliability of the site through aggregate analytics and telemetry (only after cookie consent).

Creator analytics and profile fields

Creators can see aggregate audience analytics for their own videos. That includes region buckets when we have an edge country signal or a signed-in viewer country on file, age buckets for signed-in viewers with a date of birth on file, and gender buckets only for signed-in viewers who explicitly set the optional gender field.

These reports are aggregated. We do not expose a viewer-by-viewer list of demographic profile fields to creators, and the optional gender field is not displayed publicly on your account page.

Cookies & similar technologies

We categorize cookies as essential (authentication, CSRF, fraud prevention) and optional (analytics, performance monitoring). Essential cookies are required for the site to function; optional cookies are only loaded after you click "Accept all" on the cookie banner. You can revoke consent anytime by clearing the "aethera:cookie-consent" entry in your browser storage and refreshing.

How we share information

We do not sell personal data. We share limited information with service providers strictly to deliver the platform:

  • Payment processors (for subscriptions and charge prevention, when enabled).
  • Telemetry vendors (only after consent) for crash diagnostics.
  • Law enforcement or legal entities when required to comply with the law.

Each partner is bound by contracts requiring confidentiality and appropriate security controls.

Your choices & rights

  • Sign in to access or update your profile in Settings or the creator dashboard.
  • Export or delete your channel by contacting support at support@aethera.tv.
  • Control cookies via the consent banner or your browser settings. Essential cookies can only be disabled by not using the service.
  • Opt out of marketing emails using the unsubscribe link present in every message.
