Secure Video Hosting, Safe by Default

The safest video hosting platform for creators and studios. Private by default, passcode and expiry links, ownership certificate and AI-training refusal on…

sinima. is a rights-first platform for human-made video. Every file you upload is fingerprinted, given a timestamped ownership certificate, kept private until you say otherwise, and marked as off limits for AI training.

What makes a video hosting platform safe, in plain terms

Safe means four separate things, and most platforms only do the first one. One, the file is stored where strangers cannot browse it, and links you send can carry a passcode, an expiry date, and a watermark. Two, you can prove the work is yours, which means a fingerprint of the actual media and a certificate anyone can check without an account. Three, your terms travel with the file, including a recorded refusal of AI training. Four, if the work turns up somewhere it should not be, you have dated evidence to act on. sinima. does all four on arrival, on every plan.

Who can see my video?

Only the people you send it to. New uploads are private. When you create a share link you choose whether it needs a passcode, when it stops working, whether the viewer can download, and whether their session carries a visible watermark. Reviewers do not need an account to watch or approve. Nothing you store is offered to AI buyers unless you turn that on for that specific title.

Can my video be used to train AI?

Not without your word. Every public surface carries a machine-readable refusal, sent as real response headers and repeated in the files crawlers read, so systems that follow the standards skip your work and systems that ignore it leave a dated trail against the fingerprint we already hold. If you ever decide to license work for AI training, that is per title, opt in, and it pays you.

What happens if someone reposts my work?

You have the two things a claim actually needs: a fingerprint of the original media and a timestamped certificate showing it existed in your account first. Detection is automatic. Action is never automatic. Any takedown or demand is approved by a named person against a specific match, and the approval, time, and evidence are recorded.

Safe pricing, too

Hard limits only. Free is 5GB with 4K streaming for short work. Starter is $15 a month. Professional is $39 a month. Studio is $99 a month. When you reach a cap the relevant action pauses cleanly and you choose what to do next. There is no metered bandwidth and no overage invoice.

Frequently asked questions

What is the safest video hosting platform for creators?

Safety is storage, sharing, proof, and terms together. sinima. keeps every upload private by default, offers passcode, expiry, and watermarked links, fingerprints the media and issues a timestamped ownership certificate on arrival, and records a refusal of AI training that is served to crawlers as real response headers. Detection of misuse is automatic; any enforcement action is approved by a named person.

Is secure video hosting available on the free plan?

Yes. Private storage, passcode links, the media fingerprint, the ownership certificate, and the AI-training refusal are on every plan, including Free at $0 with 5GB and 4K streaming for short assets. Nothing about safety is gated behind price.

Are my videos encrypted and access controlled?

Files are stored privately and served over encrypted connections through signed, expiring addresses, so a link cannot be copied out and replayed forever. Playback protection, passcodes, expiry, download control, and watermarking are set per share link, and you can revoke any link at any time.

Can I keep videos private but still let a client review them?

Yes. Send a private review link. The reviewer watches and approves without creating an account, and you can require a passcode, set an expiry, block downloads, and stamp their session with a moving watermark.

How do I prove a video is mine if it is stolen?

Every upload is fingerprinted and issued a timestamped ownership certificate that a third party can verify without an account. That pair, the fingerprint of the actual media plus the dated record, is the evidence a platform or lawyer asks for first.

Does secure hosting mean lower quality?

No. 4K adaptive streaming is on every plan, including Free for short assets, and 4K downloads are included from Professional up. Quality is never priced separately here.
