This Privacy Policy explains how LiveStreamHunter ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit livestreamhunter.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below. If you do not agree, please stop using the Site.
1. Who we are
LiveStreamHunter is a website where visitors can find and watch videos, live streams, and sports content, and where registered members can submit videos and build a profile. We are the operator of this Site and the party responsible for the information described here.
2. Information we collect
We collect two kinds of information:
- Information you give us. When you create an account, we collect your username, email address, and password (stored in encrypted form). If you submit a video, post a comment, or contact us, we collect the content and details you provide.
- Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, our servers and tools automatically record technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. This is normal server and analytics data used to run and improve the Site.
3. Cookies and similar technologies
We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage) to keep you signed in, remember your preferences (for example your chosen time zone or theme), measure traffic, and show advertising. You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block cookies, some parts of the Site (such as staying logged in) may not work properly.
4. Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site (for example which pages are popular). Google Analytics uses cookies and may collect information such as your IP address and browsing activity. This data helps us improve the Site. You can opt out of Google Analytics using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
5. Advertising
The Site is supported by advertising. Third-party advertising partners may place and read cookies in your browser and collect information such as your IP address, device, and browsing activity to show ads that are more relevant to you and to measure ad performance. We do not control the cookies set by these advertising partners.

6. Embedded and third-party content
Some videos and live streams on the Site are hosted by, or embedded from, third-party providers. When you play or interact with that content, the third-party provider may collect information about you under its own privacy policy, which we do not control. The Site may also contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party site or service, and we encourage you to read their policies.
7. How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- operate, maintain, and secure the Site;
- create and manage your account and show your submitted content;
- remember your settings and improve your experience;
- measure traffic and understand how the Site is used;
- show and measure advertising;
- respond to your messages and support requests;
- detect, prevent, and address abuse, fraud, or technical problems;
- comply with legal obligations.
8. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only in these situations:
- Service providers who help us run the Site (for example hosting, analytics, and advertising partners), limited to what they need to perform their service;
- Legal reasons â when required by law, or to respond to a valid legal request, protect our rights, or prevent harm or abuse;
- Business transfer â if the Site is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
9. Data retention
We keep account information for as long as your account is active. Server logs and analytics data are kept for a limited period for security and statistics, and then removed or anonymised. If you delete your account, we remove or anonymise your personal information, except where we are required to keep it for legal reasons.
10. Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to object to or restrict certain processing. You can:
- update or delete your account details by signing in, or by contacting us;
- control cookies and ad personalisation using your browser settings and the opt-out links above;
- contact us to make a privacy request.
11. Children's privacy
The Site is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will remove it.
12. Copyright and removal (DMCA)
We respect intellectual property rights. We do not host the original streams for most third-party content. If you believe content linked or embedded on the Site infringes your rights, please contact us with the details and we will act on valid requests.
13. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
