GDPR compliant video hosting.
Privacy first and perfect UX?
That's our thing.
Privacy isn't just a legal obligation, it's a fundamental requirement for trust and a great user experience. While many video platforms meet GDPR requirements at the expense of usability, we take a different approach: Solving privacy challenges while improving key UX aspects. No compromises.
GDPR-compliant video hosting. Privacy first, cookie free, consent free, with a flawless UX.
More than just GDPR compliant video hosting:We set new standards.
We do things differently. Sure, you'll get the legal thumbs up - but we go beyond that. Our goal is to provide you with the most user-friendly, privacy-first solution for your videos. We believe that real progress is only possible when privacy and user experience go hand in hand.
Yes, Ignite is 100% GDPR compliant.
Our platform has undergone a full legal review by data protection lawyers, so you can be confident that all requirements are met - for you and your audience. We built Ignite with uncompromising privacy in mind.
If you have GDPR forms for your suppliers, please contact us. We'll be happy to fill them in.
No invasive practices or tracking. We are Privacy First.
Ignite is built to exceed GDPR standards while delivering a superior user experience. We simply don't handle your website visitors' data.
Your data stays in Europe. You even can opt in for "First-Party-Data".
All our servers are located in Europe (Germany). This includes our backend application as well as our video encoding pipeline - not just our video hosting.
Enjoy maximum control over your data with seamless integration into your existing systems. We offer first-party domain hosting, which means you can use your URL.
We made an extensive expert review, so you don´t have to.
Our platform was thoroughly reviewed by Heidrich Lawyers, resulting in a GDPR compliance report that clearly outlines our unique cookie and consent free approach:
"... no data protection consent or documentation obligations are required in relation to cookies. Since no technically necessary cookies are required, there is no need to inform the user about the use of cookies or to use corresponding cookie banners. In practice, this means that videos embedded in the website are displayed in any case, even if consent is refused."
We don't just tick boxes. We deliver a good user experience.
Everyone claims to be GDPR compliant just to tick a box. But all it really means is that you need the consent of your visitors.
The catch? Depending on the website and cookie banner, only 30-60% of visitors give consent. For the rest, all video content must either be removed by the provider or hidden behind a so-called "two-click solution", like this one.
Put simply, every other visitor isn't seeing your video.
You're looking for a solution that delivers your videos to all visitors and is more than GDPR compliant: cookie and consent free, like Ignite Video.
“With Ignite, I've finally found a tool that allows me to integrate videos into my website in a GDPR-compliant manner without having to set additional cookies, and most importantly, without compromising my page speed.
Thanks to hosting in Europe and the cookie-free solution, I am confident that I am complying with GDPR — even without being an expert in data protection.”
We Want MoreBecause Your Web Experience Matters to Us
Why should we accept the status quo? We're all sick of cookie banners and broken web experiences. Nobody likes invasive technologies, yet they keep finding their way onto our corporate websites.
