ClipCut: Video Editor & Maker

1. Introduction

Welcome to ClipCut: Video Editor & Maker (“the App”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), developed by Technoscope. We provide high-performance, mobile video editing tools that allow users to trim, merge, color grade, add audio, and produce high-resolution videos for social media platforms such as TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through compliance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection regulations including Google Play Developer Policies, GDPR, and CCPA/CPRA.

2. User Media & On-Device Processing (No Cloud Uploads)

ClipCut is engineered as an offline-first video editor. All media manipulations—including cutting, trimming, applying 3D LUT filters, rendering kinetic text overlays, adjusting speed curves, and exporting lossless 4K 60FPS video—take place locally using your device's built-in hardware acceleration and local storage.

• ✓ Your media is private: We do not have access to your personal videos, photos, or voice recordings.
• ✓ No external uploads: Media files selected from your gallery are loaded directly into the app's local memory and are never transmitted to our servers or any third-party infrastructure.
• ✓ Export destination: Exported MP4 videos and GIFs are saved directly into your device's local photo/video gallery under your direct control.

3. Device Permissions & Purpose

4. Advertising & Third-Party SDKs

ClipCut uses reputable third-party SDKs to support ongoing free development and provide secure purchasing options:

Google AdMob (Google Inc.)

We use Google AdMob to display banner, interstitial, and rewarded video ads. Google AdMob may automatically collect and process certain non-personal diagnostic and advertising data, which may include:

• Google Advertising ID (AAID)
• Device model, manufacturer, and operating system version
• Approximate coarse location derived from IP address
• Ad interaction metrics (views, clicks, impressions)

For more details on how Google processes ad data, please review: Google Privacy & Terms and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Google Play In-App Billing

If you purchase an optional premium subscription or one-time upgrade (e.g. ad-free version), the transaction is processed securely through Google Play. We do not collect, view, or store your credit card or financial information.

5. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

ClipCut is intended for general audiences aged 13 and above. We do not knowingly collect, request, or solicit personal information from children under 13 years of age. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take immediate steps to delete such data from our records.

6. User Data Rights & Data Retention

Depending on your jurisdiction (such as under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA)), you hold specific privacy rights:

• Right to Deletion: Because all project files, draft edits, and media clips are stored locally on your device, you have complete autonomy to delete them at any time by clearing the app's cache/data or uninstalling the app.
• Right to Restrict or Revoke Permissions: You may toggle camera, microphone, or storage permissions on or off at any moment in your Android device's Settings > Apps > ClipCut > Permissions.
• Personalized Ads Opt-Out: You can opt out of personalized interest-based advertising on your Android device by visiting Settings > Google > Ads > Delete advertising ID or Reset advertising ID.
• No Sale of Data: We do NOT sell, trade, or rent any user data to third parties.

7. Data Security

We implement industry-standard technical measures to safeguard your app interactions. Since user project files and video exports reside locally within the application sandbox on your device, your files are protected by Android's native sandboxing security model.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or applicable legal requirements. The updated policy will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to review this page periodically for any modifications.
