Privacy & Security: Our Core Principles
At Rotately, we believe that privacy isn't just a feature—it's a fundamental right. Our entire platform was built around the principle that you shouldn't have to compromise your privacy to perform simple video edits like rotation.
The Problem with Traditional Online Video Tools
Most online video editing tools require you to upload your videos to their servers for processing. This creates several privacy and security concerns:
- Your personal videos are stored on third-party servers
- You typically have no visibility into how long they're stored
- Your content might be analyzed for various purposes
- There's always the risk of data breaches or unauthorized access
- Terms of service often grant these services certain rights to your content
The Rotately Difference
Your videos never leave your device. All processing happens directly in your browser, using your computer's resources rather than our servers.
How We Protect Your Privacy
Rotately's privacy-first approach includes several key elements:
- Zero Upload Policy - Your videos are never uploaded to our servers
- Local Processing - All video manipulation happens in your browser
- No Account Required - Use our tool without creating an account or sharing personal information
- Minimal Analytics - We only collect anonymous usage statistics to improve our service
- No Third-Party Access - We don't share your data with third parties
Technical Implementation of Our Privacy Measures
Our commitment to privacy is reflected in our technical implementation:
- Client-Side JavaScript - All processing code runs on your device
- FileReader API - Allows us to read your video files without uploading them
- Direct Download - Processed videos are offered for immediate download from your browser
- No Cookies Required - Essential functionality works without tracking cookies
- HTTPS Encryption - All communication with our website is encrypted

- We will continue to explore ways to enhance privacy and security
