Streamlined consent and privacy protection
Video Privacy Protection Act 1988 (VPPA)
The Video Privacy Protection Act requires user consent for video data sharing. Clym’s solution simplifies obtaining, managing, and storing consent, reducing legal risks and fostering user trust.
The ONLY solution on the market to combine VPPA consent, whistleblowing, accessibility, data privacy, content takedown and more.

What is the VPPA and Why Do You Need It?
The Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA) is a U.S. federal law that protects individuals' privacy by regulating the collection, use, and sharing of video-related data without explicit user consent. This law applies to any website that embeds videos and collects or shares user data, requiring businesses to be transparent and accountable when handling sensitive information.
Websites with embedded videos, whether for marketing, education, or user engagement, can inadvertently share user data with third parties without consent, leading to legal risks, fines, and reputational harm. Addressing VPPA requirements means obtaining clear user consent, managing preferences, allowing users to withdraw their consent, and controlling data-sharing practices responsibly.
Implementing a VPPA consent management solution helps websites create trust with visitors, mitigate risks, and streamline compliance efforts. It's an essential step to safeguard user privacy while navigating the complex regulatory environment confidently and effectively.
Wondering if you need to implement this?
Requirements
Websites Sharing Viewer Data with Third Parties
If your website streams video content and shares information about what users watch (like cookies or email addresses) with advertising, analytics, or other third-party platforms, obtaining explicit user consent is required.
Platforms Linking Video Views to Personal Information
If your platform collects data on which videos users watch and ties it to personal identifiers like names, accounts, or devices, you need to get users’ clear consent before tracking or sharing this data.
Businesses Using Video Tracking for Targeted Ads
If your business uses video viewing behavior to retarget users with personalized ads through platforms like Google or Facebook, implementing a consent mechanism is mandatory under the VPPA.
