1. Who we are

Vieew.co.uk (“Vieew”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a UK-based privacy-focused public social viewing platform. Vieew organises public social viewer tools and platform-specific pages so visitors can explore publicly available social content through a clean website interface.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle information, contact us at support@vieew.co.uk.

We do not use contact form information to ask for social media passwords or private account access.

5. Lawful bases for processing

Where UK data protection law applies, we rely on appropriate lawful bases depending on the purpose of processing.

• Consent

  Where you choose to accept optional cookies or submit information voluntarily where consent is appropriate.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

Vieew.co.uk may use cookies or similar technologies to support website functionality, performance, security, analytics, and user experience.

Cookie types may include:

• Essential cookies
• Performance or analytics cookies
• Preference cookies
• Security or anti-spam cookies

You can usually manage cookies through your browser settings. If Vieew uses a cookie banner or consent tool, you may also be able to update your preferences through that tool.

7. Contact forms and communications

If you contact Vieew through a form or by email, we may collect the details you provide, such as your name, email address, subject, and message. We use this information to review and respond to your enquiry.

Please do not send social media passwords, private account credentials, sensitive personal data, or requests to access private or restricted content.

We may keep contact messages for a reasonable period so we can manage support, respond to follow-up questions, and maintain records of communications.

8. Public social content and third-party platforms

Vieew is designed around public social viewer tools and publicly available content. Vieew is not a social media platform and does not control third-party platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, Facebook, or Snapchat.

Any content available through or linked from third-party platforms is subject to the rules, settings, terms, and privacy policies of those platforms.

Vieew does not ask users to provide third-party social media passwords and does not position its tools as a way to access private accounts, locked profiles, or restricted content.

9. When we may share information

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited information only where needed for legitimate website operations or legal reasons.

This may include sharing with:

• service providers that help operate, host, secure, or maintain the website
• analytics or performance providers, where used
• spam prevention or security services
• professional advisers where necessary
• regulators, authorities, or others where required by law

Any service providers should only use information as needed to provide services to Vieew.

10. Data retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Examples include:

• contact form messages may be kept long enough to respond and manage support records
• technical logs may be kept for website security and troubleshooting
• analytics information may be kept in aggregated or limited form to understand website performance

When information is no longer needed, we will delete it, anonymise it, or securely retain it only where required.

11. Data security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to help protect information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

No website or online transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Visitors should avoid sending passwords, private account credentials, or highly sensitive information through the website.

12. International transfers

Some website service providers, hosting providers, analytics providers, or technical tools may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where this happens, we aim to use appropriate safeguards where required by applicable data protection law.

13. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live and the law that applies, you may have rights over your personal information. These may include the right to:

• access
• correction
• deletion
• restriction
• objection
• data portability
• withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent
• complaint to a data protection authority

To make a privacy request, contact us at support@vieew.co.uk. We may need to verify your request before responding.

If you are in the United Kingdom and have concerns about how your personal information is handled, you may have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

14. Children’s privacy

Vieew.co.uk is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact support@vieew.co.uk so we can review the request.

15. Third-party links

Vieew.co.uk may contain links to third-party websites, public social platforms, or external resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or policies of third-party websites. Visitors should review the privacy policies of any third-party sites they visit.

16. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of the page. Continued use of Vieew.co.uk after an update means the revised policy applies from the updated date.
