Zingy does one job: it moves a video from another site to your device. This page says exactly what the server keeps and what it does not.

What is not stored

The video you download is streamed to your browser and is not kept. It sits in a temporary folder only while the transfer runs, and it is deleted once your browser has collected it. If a download is never collected, it is deleted automatically after fifteen minutes.

No accounts, no tracking cookies

There are no accounts and no analytics. The only thing the site stores in your browser is your theme choice, under the key zingy-theme. It stays in your browser and is never sent to the server.

The visit log

For each request, the server writes a line to a file called visit_logs.json. That line contains the time, your IP address, your browser's user-agent string, the path requested, the referring page, the HTTP method, and the host name. The log is capped at the most recent ten thousand entries. It is used only to understand traffic and keep the service running. It is not sold and not shared.

Third parties

To read a video, the server contacts the site you asked it to. That site may log the request just as it would for any visitor. Zingy itself sends nothing to advertising or analytics services.
