With upcoming changes to data protection and privacy laws in Europe coming into effect soon, we thought this would be a good time to remind everyone that we do have a
privacy policy.
This applies to all users and visitors world-wide.
We have made a few changes to the language to make it clearer in relation to this new regulation but fundamentally, the terms and your rights are unchanged.
If you have any questions about this, please feel free to ask in the

What do you mean by "Owner and Computer metadata."?
Edit: Ah, you mean the file metadata, not container metadata.
That's Windows that does this, not HandBrake. As far as I know there is no way to prevent it.
That's why most your files will have this, regardless of whether they came from HandBrake or not.

Oh yes, it was Windows metadata.
