GDPR-Compliant
Video Enhancement
Video containing EU residents requires GDPR compliance. BetterVideo is built with privacy by design: no personal data storage, no AI training on uploads, automatic deletion, and user control.
Privacy by design. Data minimization. User control.
Why Video Processing Has GDPR Implications
Under GDPR, video containing identifiable individuals is personal data. Processing such video requires:
- Lawful basis: Legitimate reason to process the data
- Data minimization: Collect and retain only what's necessary
- Purpose limitation: Use data only for stated purposes
- Storage limitation: Don't keep data longer than needed
- Right to erasure: Delete data when requested
Many AI video tools fail these requirements by storing footage indefinitely and using it for training.
How BetterVideo Meets GDPR Principles
Data Minimization
We process only what's needed for enhancement. Source video is never stored — only the result you download.
Purpose Limitation
Your video is used only to produce your enhanced result. Never for training, analytics, or any other purpose.
Storage Limitation
Results auto-delete within 30 days. Delete immediately on demand. No indefinite retention.
Right to Erasure
Delete your enhanced video instantly with one click. We can't retain what you delete.
Privacy by Design Architecture
GDPR Article 25 requires "privacy by design." Our architecture implements this:
- Single-use processing environments: Each video processed in isolated container, destroyed after
- No source file storage: Your original video passes through processing without being saved
- Fixed, pre-trained models: AI was trained before service launch — no ongoing training on user data
- Signed, expiring URLs: Results accessible only via time-limited, authenticated links
- Automatic deletion: 30-day maximum retention, enforced by system design
For EU Businesses
If you're processing video of EU residents (employees, customers, surveillance subjects), you need tools that support your GDPR obligations:
- Real estate: Property tour videos showing EU residents
- Legal: Evidence and depositions involving EU parties
- Healthcare: Patient video under both GDPR and local health privacy laws
- Insurance: Claims documentation with EU policyholders
- Corporate: Internal footage, training materials, event recordings
What We Don't Do
- We don't store your source video
- We don't train AI models on your uploads
- We don't analyze video content for profiling
- We don't share data with third parties
- We don't retain data beyond 30 days (or your deletion, whichever is first)
