Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 20, 2026

Roused.org ("we", "us") is a video research platform. We built it to be anonymous by default, and this policy explains what information we do collect, why, and what you can do about it.

1. Information we collect

2. How we use it

We use this information to operate and improve the platform, authenticate you, display your contributions, send service-related messages, and keep the site secure. We do not sell your personal information.

3. Cookies and local storage

We use browser storage to keep you signed in and to remember basic preferences. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

4. Third-party services

The platform relies on a small number of service providers, which may process data on our behalf:

5. Data retention

We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. Waitlist emails are kept until you ask to be removed or the waitlist closes.

6. Your choices

You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information at any time by emailing privacy@roused.org. You can leave the waitlist by using the unsubscribe option in our emails or by contacting us.

7. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children

Roused.org is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above.
