Privacy Policy
How vlc-mediaplayer.com handles information. In short: this is a static site with no accounts, no tracking cookies and nothing to sell.
Last updated: May 22, 2026. This page is provided as a general template for transparency and is not legal advice. If you need a policy tailored to a specific legal jurisdiction, consult a qualified professional.
Overview
This privacy policy explains how vlc-mediaplayer.com (the "site") treats information when you visit. The site is an independent guide and download portal for VLC Media Player. It is a static informational website: it has no user accounts, no comment system, no shopping cart and no login. Because of that, it collects very little, and the sections below describe exactly what that means.
Information we collect
The site does not ask you to create an account, fill in forms or submit personal information, and it does not collect personal data directly. We do not build advertising profiles and we do not sell, rent or trade personal information to anyone.
Like virtually every website on the internet, the server that delivers these pages may keep standard access logs. Such logs can record technical details including your IP address, browser type, the page requested and the date and time of the request. This is a normal part of how web hosting works and is used to keep the site running securely and reliably — not to identify you personally.
Cookies
The site itself sets no tracking cookies. We do not run advertising cookies, analytics cookies or cross-site tracking pixels of our own. You can browse vlc-mediaplayer.com without being followed by first-party tracking technology.
Third-party services
To keep the site simple and fast, it relies on a small number of outside services, and those services have their own privacy practices:
- Web fonts. Page typography is loaded from Google Fonts. When your browser requests a font file, Google may receive standard request information such as your IP address. This is governed by Google’s own privacy policy.
- Download links. The download buttons on this site send you to VideoLAN’s official website at videolan.org. Once you leave for that site, VideoLAN’s own privacy policy applies to your visit there — this policy only covers vlc-mediaplayer.com.
External links
The site links to external websites, including videolan.org and other reference sources. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices. When you follow a link away from vlc-mediaplayer.com, we encourage you to review the privacy policy of the destination site.
Children’s privacy
This site is a general-audience informational resource and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. As the site has no accounts or forms, there is no mechanism through which a child could submit personal information to us.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time — for example, if the site adds a new feature or changes a third-party service. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page occasionally so you stay informed.
