Privacy Policy

We collect only the minimum data needed to provide the service:

• Google account info — name, email, and avatar (if you sign in). We never post anything on your behalf.
• YouTube video IDs — the URL or search query you submit, which we analyze to find clip-worthy moments.
• Generated clips — the rendered video files and their metadata (title, timestamps, captions) are stored temporarily for download.

Your data is used only to operate and improve the service:

• To process and render your video clips.
• To keep your clip history and saved clips available across sessions.
• To enforce usage limits on the free tier.

• Clips: Generated video files are stored for 48 hours, then permanently deleted.
• History & saved clips: Stored indefinitely while your account is active. You can delete individual items at any time.
• Account data: Retained until you request deletion by contacting us.

• Google — authentication (OAuth) and YouTube data (transcripts, metadata). We never share data with Google beyond what is necessary for these features.
• Vercel — hosting and deployment.
• Fly.io — video processing infrastructure.
• Neon — PostgreSQL database (used when configured).

We use essential cookies for authentication (next-auth). No tracking, analytics, or advertising cookies are used. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time by emailing the address below. We will respond within 30 days.

If this policy changes materially, we will notify users via email or a prominent notice on the website.
