Privacy Policy

Who we are

vbe | video build engine is built and run by Aman Sabarwal in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. On this page, "we" and "us" mean him. He is responsible for your information and answers every question about it himself: privacy@videobuildengine.com.

What we collect when you join the waitlist

• Your email address.
• Which of the two forms on the page you used.
• How you found us, when your browser or the link tells us: the website you came from, or a tag in the link such as ?ref=linkedin.
• The country your connection came from. Cloudflare works this out from your IP address. We don't store the IP address.
• When you joined, a random code that makes your unsubscribe link work, and the dates we emailed you or you left the list.
• If you choose to answer the one question after you sign up, what kind of videos you make.

That is all. We don't ask for your name, and we never buy or rent lists.

Why we collect it

• To send you one welcome email when you join.
• To tell you when vbe is ready to try, and now and then how the building is going.
• How you found us and your country tell us which posts are working and where people are. We look at these as totals, not person by person.

We only email you about vbe. By joining, you agree to that, and you can change your mind at any time.

The quick check on the form

To stop bots filling the waitlist, the form uses Cloudflare Turnstile. It looks at signals from your browser to tell a person from a bot. Cloudflare says it does not use this to track you or to show you ads. Its handling is covered by Cloudflare's privacy policy, linked below.

Who else handles your information

Two companies help us run the list. They work on our behalf and may only use your information to provide their service to us.

• Cloudflare hosts this website and stores the waitlist. Like any web host, it sees your IP address and browser details when you visit. Cloudflare's privacy policy
• Resend sends our emails. It receives your email address and the emails we send you. Resend's privacy policy

Both may store or process information outside Canada, including in the United States. While it is there, the courts and authorities of that country may be able to reach it under their laws.

We never sell, rent or trade your information.

Cookies and tracking

This website sets no cookies of its own. It has no advertising pixels and no tracking scripts. The fonts and images come from this site, not from Google or anyone else. Cloudflare may set a cookie that is strictly needed to protect the site from attacks.

To know which pages people read, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics. It counts page views, the page someone came from, and the kind of device and browser, in totals only. It sets no cookies, does not use your IP address to identify you, and does not follow you to other websites. We see numbers, never who you are. About Cloudflare Web Analytics

We also use Ahrefs Web Analytics to see how people find the site from search. It counts page views, the page someone came from, the kind of device and browser, and the city or country, in totals only. It sets no cookies, does not store IP addresses, and does not follow anyone from one day to the next.

We don't track whether you open our emails or click the links in them.

How long we keep it

We keep your details while you are on the list. If you unsubscribe, we keep only your email address and the date you left, so that we never email you again by mistake. If you would rather we delete even that, ask and we will. If vbe ever closes, we will delete the list.

Your choices

• Leave the list: use the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email. One click is enough.
• See, correct or delete what we hold: email privacy@videobuildengine.com. We will reply within 30 days.
• Complain: if you are not happy with our answer, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. If you live in Quebec, you can also contact the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec. If you live outside Canada, your own privacy authority may also be able to help.

Keeping it safe

The list sits in Cloudflare's database, and only Aman can reach it. Our emails are sent over encrypted connections. No system is perfectly safe, so we keep as little as we can.

If something goes wrong

If your information is ever lost, stolen or seen by someone who shouldn't see it, and that creates a real risk of significant harm to you, we will:

• tell you as soon as we can, what happened and what you can do about it;
• report it to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, and to Quebec's Commission d'accès à l'information if you live in Quebec;
• keep a record of it, as Canadian law requires, even when the risk is small.

Children

The waitlist is not meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information. If you think a child has joined, tell us and we will delete it.

When the app is ready

vbe is a desktop app that runs on your computer. This is how it is being built:

• Your scripts, pictures, voices and finished videos are saved on your computer. They are not sent to us.
• When you approve an AI step, vbe sends what that step needs, such as the script text for planning or the description of a picture, through vbe's server to the AI service that does the work. Each AI service handles it under its own terms and privacy policy. No AI keys are kept on your computer.
• vbe's server is being built to pass your requests on without keeping your scripts or videos. It keeps what it needs to run your account, such as your credit balance and a record of the steps you approved and paid for.
• We never use your work to train AI.

Before the first download, we will update this policy to cover the app in full: exactly what passes through vbe's server, which AI services receive it, what we keep and for how long, and anything else the app sends to us, such as a check for updates.

Changes to this policy

When this policy changes, the date at the top changes too. If a change matters to you, we will email everyone on the list before it takes effect.
