ABSTREAM

Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how ABSTREAM ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use our service. By using ABSTREAM, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

Email address — only if you create an account. Used to send account-related communications such as notifications you have opted into. We do not use your email for marketing.
Account credentials — your chosen username and password. Passwords are never stored in plain text.
Usage data — such as titles you have saved or watched, stored to power personalised features tied to your account.
Technical data — basic request metadata processed by our infrastructure provider for security and availability purposes. We do not maintain our own logs of this data.

2. Cookies & Local Storage

We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and maintain your session. We also use your browser's local storage to remember your preferences. We do not use advertising, tracking, or analytics cookies. We do not share any cookie or storage data with third parties.

3. How We Use Your Information

To provide and maintain your account
To send notifications you have explicitly opted into
To remember your settings and preferences
To protect the service from abuse and unauthorised access

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third party for commercial or marketing purposes.

4. Third-Party Services

ABSTREAM relies on third-party infrastructure and content services. These operate under their own privacy policies and we have no control over their data practices:

Infrastructure provider — handles routing, security, and availability. May process basic request metadata such as IP addresses.
Metadata provider — supplies publicly available title information, descriptions, and artwork. No personal data is transmitted to this service.
Video embed providers — third-party services embedded on the player page. These are independent of ABSTREAM and may have their own data collection practices.

5. Data Retention

Your account data is kept for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion at any time by contacting us. Temporary security tokens and verification codes expire automatically after a short period.

6. Your Rights

You may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, and to withdraw consent for email communications. To make a request, contact us through the domain registrant contact for absent.wtf.

7. Security

We apply industry-standard security practices to protect your data. No system is completely secure — we encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your account.

8. Children

ABSTREAM is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. Contact us if you believe this has occurred and we will delete it promptly.

9. Changes

We may update this policy at any time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance.
