1. Who We Are
Brazil Vibe (brazilvibe.com) is a video curation platform that aggregates publicly available Brazilian culture content from YouTube. We are not affiliated with Google LLC or YouTube.
2. Information We Collect
Brazil Vibe does not require account registration. We collect:
- Usage data: pages visited, videos watched, and search queries — stored anonymously for analytics purposes.
- Favorites: stored exclusively in your browser's local storage (localStorage). We never transmit this data to our servers.
- Technical data: browser type, device, approximate location (country/region), and referral source — collected via analytics tools.
3. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for:
- Preferences: theme (light/dark mode) stored in localStorage.
- Advertising: Google AdSense may place cookies to show you relevant ads. These are governed by Google's privacy policy.
- Analytics: anonymous usage statistics to improve the site.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Some features may not work without cookies.
4. Third-Party Services
Brazil Vibe integrates with the following third-party services:
- YouTube Data API v3 (Google LLC): we use YouTube's API to retrieve video metadata. By using Brazil Vibe, you also agree to YouTube's Terms of Service and Google's Privacy Policy.
- Google AdSense (Google LLC): we display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google may use cookies and device identifiers to serve personalized ads based on your interests.
- OpenStreetMap / Leaflet: used for the interactive map. Tile images are loaded from OpenStreetMap servers, subject to their privacy policy.
5. How We Use Your Information
We use the data we collect to:
- Understand how users interact with the site and improve content discovery.
- Display relevant advertisements via Google AdSense.
- Monitor site performance and fix technical issues.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties beyond what is described in Section 4.
6. Data Retention
Anonymous analytics data is retained for up to 26 months. Favorites and preferences stored in your browser remain until you clear your browser data.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws (including Brazil's LGPD and the EU's GDPR) such as the right to access, correct, or delete your data. Since we collect minimal data and store most preferences locally in your browser, you can exercise most rights by simply clearing your browser data.
