Privacy Policy

Clipper Lab ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal data you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we handle it when you use our AI-powered video clipping service.

Account information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and a hashed password. If you enable two-factor authentication, we store the encrypted TOTP secret.

Usage data: We track which features you use, the number of projects and clips you create, and general usage patterns to improve the service.

Payment information: Payments are processed by LemonSqueezy. We store your subscription status and invoice history but never store credit card numbers or full payment details.

Video URLs: We store the YouTube URLs you submit for processing and cache video metadata to avoid re-downloading the same content.

We do not collect or store your browsing history outside our platform, information from your social media accounts beyond what is needed for upload features, or any data from videos you do not explicitly submit for processing.

Videos you submit are downloaded temporarily for processing. Transcription is performed locally using OpenAI Whisper — your audio data is not sent to any external transcription service. Generated clips are stored on our servers and made available for download. Video cache and clip files may be periodically cleaned up based on your plan's storage limits.

We use the following third-party services:

• Supabase — Database hosting, authentication, and file storage
• Google Gemini API — AI analysis of video transcripts to identify clip-worthy segments (only text transcripts are sent, not audio or video)
• OpenAI Whisper — Runs locally on our servers for speech-to-text transcription; no data leaves our infrastructure
• LemonSqueezy — Payment processing and subscription management

Account data is retained for as long as your account is active. Processed video files and clips are stored according to your plan's storage limits. If you delete your account, all associated data — including clips, job history, and personal information — will be permanently deleted within 30 days.

We use essential cookies to maintain your authenticated session. We use a localStorage entry to remember your theme preference (light or dark mode). We do not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics cookies.

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your account and all associated data
• Export your data in a portable format
• Withdraw consent at any time by deleting your account

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email address below.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via email or an in-app notice. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised.
