Life in Context — Last updated June 2026
Who we are
Life in Context is a documentary YouTube channel based in the United States. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website or submit an application to participate in our content.
What information we collect
We collect two types of information:
Automatically collected: When you visit this site, standard analytics tools (including Google Analytics) may collect your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This data is anonymized and used only to understand how our site is being used.
Information you provide: If you contact us or submit an application, we collect the personal details you provide — including your name, email address, phone number, location, age, and any personal stories, memories, or life experiences you choose to share with us. For facility enquiries, we may also collect organizational details such as your facility name and role.
How we use your information
We use your information strictly for the following purposes:
To review and assess story applications
To contact you regarding your application or enquiry
To operate and improve this website
To fulfill any obligations arising from your participation in Life in Context content
We will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. We will never use your information for advertising or marketing purposes unrelated to Life in Context.
Story submissions and sensitive information
If you submit a story application, you may share sensitive personal information including health details, family history, or other deeply personal experiences. We treat this information with the highest level of care. It is accessed only by the Life in Context team for the purpose of evaluating your story, and is never shared externally without your explicit consent.
Submitting an application does not guarantee participation. If your application is unsuccessful, your information will be retained for potential future evaluation. Your information can be securely deleted if you request deletion.
Third-party services
We use Google Analytics and other third party services to understand site traffic. Google and other third parties may collect anonymized data about your visit independently under their own privacy policy. We have no control over third party data practices.
Cookies
This website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device when you visit a site. We may use cookies for a variety of purposes including understanding how visitors use our site, improving your experience, and serving relevant advertising. Some cookies may be set by third-party services we use, such as analytics platforms or advertising partners. We do not control how third-party cookies operate, and those third parties may have their own cookie policies.
You can disable or manage cookies at any time through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of this site or the relevance of any advertising you see.
Your rights
Under applicable US privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) where applicable, you have the right to:
Know what personal information we hold about you
Request correction of inaccurate information
Request deletion of your information
Opt out of any data sharing (though we do not sell data)
To exercise any of these rights, email us at lifeincontextmedia@gmail.com and we will aim to respond within 30 days.
Data security
We take reasonable technical and organizational steps to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's privacy
This website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please contact us immediately and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent version. Continued use of the site after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
