Legal & Policies

Last updated: July 8, 2026

Videojam.live ("Videojam," "we," "us," or "our") is a curated music-video discovery platform. This page explains how we handle your information and the rules for using the Service.

1. Scope

  • This policy applies to personal data we process through https://videojam.live and related listener, artist, and account features.
  • It does not govern third-party services we do not control — notably YouTube (embedded playback), Google Analytics (when you consent), or email delivery providers used for magic-link sign-in.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information you provide

  • Listener accounts: email address and, if you choose password sign-in, a hashed password. Magic-link sign-in uses your email only.
  • Artist accounts: email, display name, and profile information you submit for your public artist page.
  • Favourites: when signed in, video identifiers you save to your account are stored in our database.
  • Contact: if you email us, we receive your message and contact details.

2.2 Information collected automatically

  • Server logs: IP address, browser type, and request metadata for security and operations.
  • Session cookie: an httpOnly NextAuth session token so signed-in features (favourites, account) work. This is strictly necessary for authentication.
  • Playback state: sessionStorage on your device may store your current queue and position so playback can resume during a visit. This stays on your device.
  • Guest favourites: if you are not signed in, saved videos may be stored in your browser localStorage until you create an account or clear site data.

2.3 Analytics (with consent)

  • We use Google Analytics 4 with Google Consent Mode. Before you click Accept in our cookie banner, analytics runs in a cookieless, aggregated mode.
  • If you accept, GA4 may set first-party cookies (such as _ga) to measure page views and usage. You can decline or withdraw consent via Reject in the banner.
  • We do not load analytics on localhost, Vercel preview URLs, or internal Studio routes.

2.4 Embedded video

  • Videos play through YouTube embeds. YouTube may collect usage data under its own privacy policy when you interact with the player.

3. How We Use Information

  • Provide and maintain the Service (catalog browsing, continuous playback, favourites).
  • Authenticate accounts and secure the platform.
  • Improve the product through aggregated analytics (only with consent for cookie-based measurement).
  • Respond to support requests and enforce these terms.

4. How We Share Information

  • We do not sell your personal data.
  • We use infrastructure providers that process data on our behalf (for example, cloud hosting and database services) under contractual safeguards.
  • We may disclose information when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.

5. Data Retention

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above or to meet legal obligations. You may request deletion of a listener account by contacting us.

6. Your Rights (EEA / UK)

If you are in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you may have the right to:

  • Access, correct, or delete your personal data
  • Restrict or object to certain processing
  • Data portability
  • Withdraw consent (for example, analytics cookies)
  • Lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority

7. Terms of Use

By using Videojam, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

8. Content & Playback

  • Videojam curates links to music videos hosted on YouTube. We do not host the underlying video files.
  • Catalog metadata, editorial notes, and layout are provided for discovery and education. Rights remain with artists, labels, and rights holders.
  • You must use the Service lawfully and not attempt to disrupt, scrape at abusive rates, or circumvent access controls.

9. Accounts

  • You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping credentials confidential.
  • Artist profile content you submit must be accurate and must not infringe third-party rights.
  • We may suspend or remove accounts that violate these terms or pose security risk.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee uninterrupted playback, catalog availability, or that every video will remain embeddable on YouTube.
