Summary

Replaces the copy on the /privacy page with the final Video.js Privacy Notice. The full notice is committed as reviewable JSX text so the entire copy change is visible in the diff (no binary doc, image, iframe, or external link).

  • Changed file: src/pages/privacy.jsx
  • Route: /privacy (unchanged — Gatsby maps src/pages/privacy.jsx/privacy)
  • Navigation: The footer "Privacy" link (/privacy) is unchanged and still resolves.
  • Layout preserved: Still wrapped in LayoutSeoContainer, matching the rest of the site.
  • Last Updated date: set to August 24, 2026.

The previous page hard-rendered Last updated: {new Date().toLocaleDateString()} (a live date that changed on every build); this is now a fixed date as required.

Legal wording

The supplied legal wording is reproduced exactly, including capitalization, punctuation, and the source's typos (IP adddress, individauls, connetion, "services they to choose to integrate"). A text-diff check confirmed the rendered page text is a word-for-word match to the approved notice (1068 words after the September 3 revision below).

Counsel revisions — September 3, 2026 (commit 2583c59)

Outside counsel's tracked changes to the How We Share Information section were applied as a second commit on this same branch (no new PR):

  1. Appended to the third-party-sponsors paragraph: "Please note our third-party sponsors may change over time and, when they do, the new third-party sponsors will be listed on our homepage."
  2. Removed the "In addition, we may disclose…in the following ways" transition and the entire "In Connection with a Business Transaction or Reorganization" item, replacing both with a standalone paragraph about changing the project's governing structure (sponsorship structure or legal vehicle).
  3. Removed the "To Facilitate Legal Obligations and Rights:" heading so the legal-disclosure lead-in ("We may also disclose the information described in the sections above to third parties…") flows directly into its six unchanged sub-bullets.

No PostHog-specific wording was added; all other wording is unchanged.

⚠️ Reviewer note: "Prior Versions" link

The notice includes the line:

Prior Versions of the Privacy Notice are Available Here (link to prior version)

The current page had no existing "Prior Versions" section and therefore no archive link/destination to preserve. The placeholder text is reproduced verbatim. Please supply the archive URL for the prior version so the reviewer/maintainer can wire up the actual link before this ships.

Verification

Run against the latest commit (2583c59):

  • prettier --list-different src/pages/privacy.jsx (Prettier 1.17, repo .prettierrc) — clean, already formatted.
  • JSX compiled with esbuild (--loader:.jsx=jsx) — no syntax errors.
  • Automated text-diff of the rendered copy vs. the approved (post-revision) notice — exact 1068-word match.

Note: a full gatsby build was not run here because it requires network-only prebuild steps (download-plugins/download-version) and a full dependency install; the change is a static content-only page with no new imports or APIs.
