Privacy policy

Shorts Origin does not track you. It runs no analytics, no ads and no cookies, and it has no accounts or forms.

What the site collects

Nothing you type in. There is no sign-up, no newsletter and no comment box, so there is nothing for you to hand over.

What your browser stores

Some pages show a box suggesting you add Shorts Origin as a preferred source on Google. If you close it, your browser remembers that in its local storage, so the box stays closed. That note stays on your device, is never sent anywhere and is not a cookie. Clearing your browser's site data removes it.

Hosting

The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, Cloudflare handles the requests your browser makes, which include your IP address, and may keep them in short-lived logs to run and protect the service. Cloudflare's own privacy policy covers that. Shorts Origin does not run Cloudflare Web Analytics.

YouTube videos

Some pages may show a video from a YouTuber. Before you click, the page loads only a preview image from YouTube's image server (i.ytimg.com), which means YouTube sees that request. The video player loads only when you click play, and it uses YouTube's privacy-enhanced domain, youtube-nocookie.com. Once it plays, Google's privacy policy applies.

Links to other sites

Pages link to music providers and to the platforms' help pages so you can check every fact. Those sites have their own privacy policies.

If this changes

If the site ever adds analytics or advertising, this page will be updated before they go live, and it will name each service and what it collects.
