Privacy Policy

Introduction

Hydra Group - FZCO ("we," "our," or "us") operates the Reels Editor website and online video editing tools. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you visit our site, use our browser-based editor, view advertisements, or contact us.

Reels Editor is a free service. Video and image files you upload for editing are processed locally in your browser whenever possible. We do not upload your media files to our servers for editing purposes.

What information we collect

Information you provide: if you contact us, we receive the details you submit (such as your name, email address, subject, and message content).

Technical and usage data: when you browse the site we may collect information such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring URLs, and approximate location derived from IP. This data helps us understand how the service is used and improve performance.

Analytics data: we use Google Analytics to measure traffic and usage patterns. Google Analytics may set cookies or use similar technologies as described in Google's documentation.

Advertising data: we display ads through Google AdSense and Monetag. These partners and their affiliates may use cookies, service workers, or similar technologies to serve ads, measure ad performance, deliver notifications, and, where applicable, personalize ads based on your browsing activity. You can learn more in Google's and Monetag's advertising policies and privacy documentation.

We do not require you to create an account to use the editor. We do not ask for payment details because the core service is free.

How we use information

We use the information described above to operate and maintain the website, respond to support requests, understand usage trends, improve tools and documentation, detect abuse or technical issues, comply with legal obligations, and display advertisements that help fund the free service.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share aggregated or anonymised statistics that do not identify you.

Legal bases and consent

Where applicable, we process contact and operational data to respond to your requests and operate the service. Analytics and advertising technologies may rely on your consent or legitimate interests, depending on your location and the technology involved.

You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through advertising preference tools provided by Google, Monetag, or your device.

How we protect information

We apply reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures appropriate to the information we hold, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) for data in transit and access controls for systems that store contact messages or operational logs.

No online service can guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of an incident affecting your information where notification is required by law, we will act in line with applicable requirements.

Retention

Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to respond, resolve issues, and maintain reasonable business records, typically up to 24 months unless a longer period is required by law or ongoing correspondence.

Analytics and advertising logs are retained according to the settings and policies of the relevant providers (such as Google and Monetag) and our internal retention schedules.

Third-party services

We rely on third-party providers to deliver parts of the service, including hosting infrastructure, Google Analytics (measurement ID: G-1KG19RC3PZ), Google AdSense (publisher ID: ca-pub-8590395395484777), and Monetag (zone ID: 11112593). These providers process data under their own terms and privacy policies.

Our site may link to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites you visit from our pages.

Your rights and contact

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing of your personal information, or to object to certain uses. To exercise these rights, contact us at contact@gpthydra.com. We will respond within a reasonable period as required by applicable law.

If you believe your rights have not been respected, you may also contact the relevant supervisory authority in your jurisdiction.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the service, legal requirements, or our practices. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy where permitted by law.
