=== About this policy ===
This privacy and cookie policy governs only
the LikeLines open source software and services ("LikeLines")
that are under control by:
the Delft Multimedia Information Retrieval lab
of the Delft University of Technology
and its researchers ("We" or "Us").
We do not control the privacy practices of third parties that run their own
LikeLines servers. LikeLines records your behavior in order to provide you,
the user, a richer experience in watching online videos by providing more
enjoyable non-linear video access. This policy describes the information about
the user ("You" or "Your") that is being recorded, where it is stored, for
which purposes and whom has access to it this information.
=== Information collected by the LikeLines software ===
LikeLines records the following information about the interactions you perform
with the video player:
* The URL of the video loaded into the player and when (the local time of
your computer) it was loaded;
* The current playback position in the video when you play, pause and seek in
the video;
* When (the local time of your computer) you play, pause and seek the video;
* Periodically, the current playback position in the video and the local time
of your computer;
* The current playback position in the video when you click the Like button;
* When (the local time of your computer) you click the Like button.
=== Storage and transmission of collected information ===
LikeLines stores collected information at a LikeLines server. The player
component of LikeLines sends this information (described in the previous
section) coupled with an identity tracking token (described in the next
section) to the server periodically. Information is sent through a secure
channel (https), but only if LikeLines service itself is accessed through a
secure channel.
=== Identity tracking through cookies ===
LikeLines makes use of persistent cookies to track identities. Cookies are
small text files that are automatically created and stored by your Internet
browser. LikeLines cookies contain a unique identifying number that tracks you,
the user. The purpose of a LikeLines cookie is to recognize you on your next
visit without requiring you to login using a registered username and password.
This identity tracking token is also stored at a LikeLines server together with
information collected by the LikeLines video player component. This token does
not contain or is derived from any personal information. This token is also
tied to a single browser on a single machine. If you, the user, access LikeLines
on a different machine, the LikeLines server will treat you as a new identity.
=== Purpose of recorded information ===
All information previously described is collected by LikeLines for two purposes:
1. The information is used by LikeLines itself in order to provide its
non-linear video access service to its users.
2. The information is used by us, researchers, for research on non-linear
video access and retrieval and for improving the LikeLines service.
=== Disclosure of recorded information ===
Information collected by LikeLines is never disclosed to third parties without
your consent. LikeLines only exposes stored information in an anonymous,
aggregated form in order to allow LikeLines clients (such as the LikeLines
video player component) to compute the most interesting parts of a video.
=== Adopting this privacy policy for third party developers ===
We highly recommend third party developers to adopt our privacy practices when
setting up their own LikeLines services by using this policy document as a
template.
