Privacy Policy

We collect the following categories of information:

• Account information. When you sign up, our authentication provider (Clerk) processes your email address and basic profile details so you can log in and manage your account.
• Content you provide. Video URLs you submit, media you upload, and the clips, captions, and settings you create in the editor.
• Connected-account data (YouTube / Google). If you connect a YouTube account, we access and store a limited set of data through Google APIs — described in detail in Section 4.
• Billing information. If you subscribe, our payment processor (Stripe) handles your payment details. We do not store full card numbers.
• Usage and device data. Standard log data such as IP address, browser type, and interactions with the Service, used for security, debugging, and analytics.

• To provide, operate, and maintain the Service and generate your clips.
• To publish clips to a connected account when you explicitly choose to do so.
• To process subscriptions, billing, and credits.
• To secure the Service, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations.
• To communicate with you about your account, support requests, and service changes.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.

We share information only with service providers that help us run the Service, and only as needed to perform their function:

• Clerk — authentication and account management.
• Stripe — subscription billing and payments.
• Cloudflare — content delivery, storage, and security.
• Replicate / transcription providers — processing audio to generate transcripts and captions.

We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of Clipzing and its users. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

Clipzing uses YouTube API Services. By connecting your YouTube account, you also agree to the YouTube Terms of Service. Google’s handling of your data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

What we access, and why:

• Channel information (via the youtube.readonly scope) — your channel ID, name, and handle. We use this only to display which channel you have connected and to attribute uploads to the correct channel.
• Video upload (via the youtube.upload scope) — used solely to upload a clip to your channel when you initiate that upload from Clipzing. We never upload, modify, or delete content without your explicit action.

What we store:

• Your YouTube channel ID, channel name/handle, and display name.
• OAuth access and refresh tokens, which are encrypted at rest and used only to make the API calls described above on your behalf.

We do not collect your Google account password, email contacts, subscriber lists, watch history, or analytics, and we do not share your Google user data with any third party except as required to operate the upload you request.

Revoking access:

You can disconnect your YouTube account inside Clipzing at any time, which deletes the stored tokens. You can also revoke Clipzing’s access directly from your Google Account at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. When you disconnect a connected account, the associated OAuth tokens are deleted. You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data at any time by disconnecting integrations in-app and emailing us at support@clipzing.com. We will delete your data unless we are required to retain it for legal or accounting purposes.

We use industry-standard safeguards to protect your information, including encryption of OAuth tokens at rest and encrypted connections (HTTPS) in transit. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we work to protect your data and limit access to it.

The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Clipzing operates the Service and may process and store data in countries other than your own. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your information to those locations, which may have different data-protection laws than your jurisdiction.

We may update this Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or your data, contact us at support@clipzing.com.
