Thank you for using mycliptool.com ("the Service"), an online video editing tool operated by an individual developer. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website at mycliptool.com.

By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We are committed to collecting only the minimum amount of information necessary to provide you with our Service. The information we collect is limited to the following:

  • Account Information via Google Login: When you choose to sign up or log in to our Service using your Google account, we collect the basic profile information provided by Google. This includes your email address, your public profile name (nickname), and your profile picture (avatar). We do not request or collect your Google password or any other sensitive information from your Google account.
  • User-Generated Content for Processing: To provide certain features, such as [example: AI subtitle generation or video rendering], the content you are working on ("User Content") is temporarily uploaded to our secure servers for processing. This data is used solely to perform the requested task. We do not permanently store your User Content. All uploaded files are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers immediately after the processing is complete. We treat your content as strictly confidential during this transient process.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To Provide and Maintain the Service: Your account information is used to create and manage your account, identify you as a user, and provide you access to the Service's features. Your User Content is used to perform the video editing tasks you request.
  • To Communicate With You: We may use your email address to respond to your support inquiries or to send you important, non-marketing notices related to your account or changes to our Service, Terms, or this Privacy Policy. We will not send you promotional emails.
  • To Improve the Service: We may analyze anonymized usage data to understand how our Service is used, which helps us to improve its features and usability. We do not use your personal information for this purpose.

3. Information We Do Not Collect

We want to be crystal clear about the information we do not collect:

  • We do not collect sensitive personal information like your home address, phone number, or government-issued identifiers.
  • We do not store or process your payment information. All payments are handled by our third-party Merchant of Record, Paddle, which has its own privacy policy.
  • We do not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We may only disclose your information in the following limited circumstances:

  • With Your Consent: We may share your information with your explicit consent.
  • Service Providers: We may use third-party companies to host our infrastructure (e.g., Cloudflare, cloud hosting providers). These providers only have access to your data to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).

5. Data Security

The security of your data is a top priority. We use commercially acceptable security measures, such as encryption (HTTPS/SSL), to protect your information. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We will retain your personal account information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will permanently delete your account information (email, name, avatar) from our systems within a reasonable period. Your User Content may be retained for a short period on our servers for operational purposes before being permanently deleted.

7. Your Data Rights (For EU/UK Users)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, you have certain data protection rights under GDPR. These include the right to access, update, or delete the information we have on you. You can manage most of your information directly within your account settings or by contacting us.

8. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.
