Overview

What does DPlayer do?

What DPlayer is

DPlayer is a embeddable video player. It is an open source HTML5 video player that site owners embed to play video content directly on their pages. When it runs on a website it operates as a third party processor whose scripts, cookies and network requests are loaded into the browsers of your European visitors.

Data and cookies DPlayer collects

In a typical deployment DPlayer processes playback preferences, session identifiers and, when streaming from third party providers, device and connection data. Most of this information qualifies as personal data under the GDPR because it can be linked to an identifiable person, directly or through online identifiers stored on the device.

GDPR and ePrivacy implications

Any storage of or access to information on a visitor device is governed by Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive, transposed into national law across the EU. The GDPR then governs the subsequent processing, so DPlayer must have a valid legal basis, a clear retention period and transparent information for the data subject.

Consent requirements

The strictly necessary functions of DPlayer can rely on contract or legitimate interest, but any analytics, marketing or personalisation cookies layered on top still require prior consent. Keep the essential and the optional layers clearly separated so the legal basis matches each purpose.

International data transfers

DPlayer reports hosting in merchant defined servers (self hosted), which keeps the core processing inside the European Economic Area. You should still confirm the location of any subprocessors and content delivery nodes, because a single non European endpoint can still trigger a transfer.

Practical compliance steps

List DPlayer in your records of processing and your cookie policy, load it only through a consent management platform, document the consent you collect and review the vendor data processing agreement at least once a year. Test the site with consent refused to make sure no identifier is set before a choice is made.

Compliance

DPlayer and the GDPR

Legal basis
Contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) for core functionality; consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) for optional cookies
Risk level
low
Applicable regulations
GDPR; ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC; national rules (TTDSG, CNIL guidelines, LSSI)

Impact assessment (DPIA)

Assess the volume and sensitivity of data processed through DPlayer, whether visitors are profiled or tracked across sites, and any transfer outside the EEA. A formal DPIA is advisable where DPlayer enables large scale monitoring or combines data from several sources.

Questions

Frequently asked questions about DPlayer

Can't find your question? Write to us, we answer fast.

What cookies does DPlayer set?

DPlayer typically stores session identifiers and, depending on configuration, analytics or marketing cookies. The exact names and lifetimes appear in the cookie table on this page, and you should scan your own site because deployments differ.

Do I need consent to use DPlayer?

For its strictly necessary functions DPlayer can rely on contract or legitimate interest, but any analytics or marketing cookies it adds still require prior consent.

What is the legal basis for DPlayer?

The non essential cookies rely on consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR combined with Article 5(3) ePrivacy. Strictly necessary processing can rely on contract under Article 6(1)(b) or legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f).

Does DPlayer transfer data to the United States or other third countries?

DPlayer reports hosting in merchant defined servers (self hosted), so by default data stays in the EEA. Verify subprocessors and CDN nodes, since one non European endpoint can still create a transfer to a third country.

Do I need a DPIA for DPlayer?

A DPIA is required when processing is likely to result in a high risk, for example large scale tracking or profiling. Where DPlayer monitors behaviour at scale or combines data sources, run a DPIA before going live.

How do I implement DPlayer in a compliant way?

Load DPlayer only after consent through a consent management platform, keep it blocked by default, document each consent, list it in your records and cookie policy, and sign a data processing agreement with the vendor.

Are there alternatives to DPlayer?

Yes. Depending on your goal you can choose privacy first or cookieless tools, or self hosted options that keep data in the EEA. Whichever you pick, the same consent and transparency duties apply.

How do I update my cookie policy for DPlayer?

Add DPlayer to the cookie policy with its purpose, the cookies it sets, their duration and the recipient, note any third country transfer and the safeguard used, and refresh the entry whenever you change configuration or after a new cookie scan.
