Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-09-19

1. Introduction

Clipper AI is a video clipping and editing app provided by AGI Applications. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app handles, why it is handled, how it may be shared, and the controls available to you.

This policy applies to the Clipper AI app and its associated services. Our Terms of Service explain the terms for using the service.

2. Account Information

Clipper AI requires an account so projects, credits, subscription access, and exports stay attached to the correct user. You may sign up with email and password or use a supported account sign-in option.

Depending on the method you choose, we receive an account identifier, your email address, and basic profile information such as your name. If you use Sign in with Apple and choose to hide your email, we receive the private relay address Apple provides. Account authentication is provided through Google Firebase Authentication. Firebase handles email/password credentials and supported Apple or Google sign-in flows. Clipper AI’s application backend validates authentication tokens; it does not receive or store your plaintext password.

Each account receives a unique internal customer ID. This ID ties together your projects, clips, settings, support requests, and subscription status without using your email address as the database key.

3. Videos, Audio, Transcripts, and Projects

When you import a video, Clipper AI handles the information needed to create your requested output, which may include:

The source video and its audio
A supported source link you submit for import
File name, format, duration, and size
Speech transcripts and word timing
Suggested clips, scores, crop positions, captions, and headlines
Edits, overlays, saved-project status, and export settings

This information is uploaded to our cloud infrastructure and processed to provide the clipping and editing service. Do not submit a video you are not authorized to upload and process.

4. AI-Assisted Processing

Clipping, transcription, scoring, reframing, and related features may use third-party AI processing and model providers. The source material and instructions needed for the feature are transmitted for processing, and the resulting transcript, analysis, or media is returned to Clipper AI.

We use this material to provide the feature you requested, operate the service, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot failures. We do not sell your videos or use them for advertising. Connected Google, YouTube, Meta, and TikTok account data is not used to train generalized AI or machine-learning models and is not sent to our clipping or transcription models. AI-assisted editing operates on source material you separately submit for processing.

Availability: Direct social publishing is not enabled in the current public App Store release. We are preparing YouTube, TikTok, Instagram professional-account, and Facebook Page connections for a future update, subject to platform review. This section explains the data handling for those optional connections when available. LinkedIn publishing is not supported.

If you connect a supported social account, the relevant platform provides authorization tokens and basic account or channel information so Clipper AI can show the connection and publish only when you ask it to. Sensitive authorization credentials are encrypted at rest.

We do not publish without an action from you. You can disconnect a social account from the app, and you may also revoke access from that platform's own account settings. Disconnecting removes the connection from active application records. For YouTube, we also request token revocation from Google; if that request fails, an encrypted credential may be held temporarily only to retry revocation, and is removed within seven days.

We request the narrowest permissions each feature needs. We do not use connected-platform data for advertising, and we do not sell it or transfer it to data brokers.

5.1 YouTube

Clipper AI uses YouTube API Services to let you publish clips to your own channel. By connecting a YouTube account you also agree to the YouTube Terms of Service, and Google's handling of your information is described in the Google Privacy Policy.

Google sign-in can request basic identity permissions (openid, userinfo.email, and userinfo.profile) to identify your Google account and provide supported account sign-in. The YouTube publishing connection additionally requests these YouTube permissions:

View your YouTube account (youtube.readonly) — used solely to read the id and name of the channel you are connecting, so the app can show which channel is linked and upload to the right one
Manage your YouTube videos (youtube.upload) — used solely to upload a clip you explicitly choose to publish

We store the channel ID, channel name, encrypted authorization tokens, and publishing records such as the post ID and processing status. We do not use these permissions to read your watch history, subscriptions, comments, analytics, or videos you did not choose to publish through Clipper AI. We periodically recheck YouTube authorization and refresh channel details. Stale channel data and old publishing records are removed within 30 days unless refreshed. Connected-account records are used only to operate your connection and publishing requests. Disconnecting the channel or deleting your Clipper AI account removes the stored connection and its publishing history from our active application database.

Removing a connection or deleting your Clipper AI data does not delete videos already published on YouTube. Use YouTube to manage or delete those videos.

You can revoke Clipper AI's access to your Google Account at any time at Google security settings.

Limited Use: Clipper AI's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

5.2 TikTok

If you connect TikTok, we receive your open id and basic public profile information (display name and avatar) so the app can show which account is linked, along with the creator settings TikTok requires us to display before a post — such as who can view the video and whether commenting, duet, or stitch is available. Before each post, you can preview the exported clip, edit its caption, choose an available privacy level, choose permitted interactions, and disclose commercial content. We send the video and these publishing choices to TikTok only after you confirm the post. The consent screen links to TikTok’s Music Usage Confirmation and, where applicable, its Branded Content Policy. We store the open ID, display name, avatar URL, encrypted authorization tokens, and publishing status. We delete the connection and its publishing history from our active application database when you disconnect TikTok or delete your account. TikTok may retrieve an approved clip through a temporary media URL. Videos already published on TikTok remain subject to your TikTok account controls.

5.3 Facebook and Instagram

If you connect a Facebook Page or an Instagram professional account, we receive the page or account id, its name, and the access tokens needed to publish. We use them only to publish a clip you explicitly choose to post, and to show which destination is connected. We do not read your feed, friends, followers, direct messages, or advertising data. We store the account ID, name, encrypted authorization tokens, and publishing records, and delete the connection and its publishing history from our active application database when you disconnect the account or delete your account. A temporary media URL may be used to deliver a clip you approve. Posts already published on Facebook or Instagram must be managed on those platforms.

6. Purchases

Paid plans and one-time credit packs are sold through the App Store. Payment processing is handled by Apple, and subscription status is managed through RevenueCat. We never receive or store your payment card details. We receive only the purchase and entitlement information needed to unlock the correct plan and credits for your customer ID — the product purchased, whether it is currently active, when the paid period ends, and the store transaction identifier.

We keep a record of each store transaction that has added credits to an account. These records prevent duplicate credit grants and allow refunds, renewals, and credit expiry to be handled correctly. After account deletion, we retain a disabled billing record, the internal customer identifier, relevant transaction identifiers, credit balances and ledger entries, and hashed identity references needed to prevent repeated free-credit claims and restore eligible balances. These are limited, pseudonymous records, not anonymous records. Your RevenueCat customer record is not automatically deleted by Clipper AI account deletion. Deleting your Clipper AI account does not cancel an App Store subscription, which you cancel in your Apple subscription settings.

7. Support and Feedback

When you contact support or send feedback from Settings, your email draft includes diagnostic information that helps us reproduce a problem: your customer ID, plan, app version, platform, device model, operating system version, and timestamp. You can review the draft before sending it. The app does not include your password or session token.

Support messages and attachments you send are used to respond to your request and improve the service.

8. Technical and Service Data

We may process limited technical information needed to secure, operate, and improve Clipper AI, including:

IP address and approximate network location
App version, device type, operating system, and request timestamps
Upload, processing, export, and publishing status
Error reports, diagnostic information, and abuse-prevention signals
Credit usage, storage usage, and subscription entitlement state
A device push-notification token and registration details when you enable supported notifications

Error reporting uses Beacon, our configured monitoring service, through Sentry SDKs. Reports can include your account identifier and technical diagnostics. The released app is also configured to attach a screenshot and a technical description of the current app screen (its view hierarchy) when supported. Those attachments may contain information visible on that screen, such as project content or connected-account names. We use them to investigate failures and support requests. Session replay and performance tracing are disabled.

We remove request headers, cookies, bodies, and URL query values from the configured error-event metadata. That text filtering does not by itself remove information visible in a screenshot or screen-hierarchy attachment.

We do not sell your personal information, videos, transcripts, or projects, and we do not share them with advertisers or data brokers.

Information may be shared only in these limited cases:

With providers needed to operate the service, including Cloudflare for application infrastructure and media storage, Google Firebase for authentication, OpenAI for supported AI processing, RevenueCat for subscription management, and the infrastructure operating our Beacon error-monitoring service (which uses Sentry SDKs). Only information needed for the relevant service is sent to that provider
With a social platform when you connect it or ask Clipper AI to publish
With Apple when you use platform services such as sign-in or purchases
When required by law, or when reasonably necessary to protect our rights, users, or public safety
With your explicit direction or consent

10. Storage, Retention, and Deletion

Account information is retained while your account is active. Projects, source media, clips, transcripts, and edits are retained as needed to keep your library available and to provide the service.

Unsaved completed projects are scheduled to expire after the period displayed in the app, currently six days. Saving a project removes that automatic project expiry while the project remains in your account and within applicable storage limits.

You can delete individual projects in the app. Deleting your account from Settings permanently removes the account and associated content from active systems, except for limited records we must retain for legal, security, fraud-prevention, or transaction-record obligations. Backup copies may take a limited period to cycle out.

How to delete your data

Social-account controls appear only in versions where social publishing is enabled. If the option is absent in your version, use the platform’s own connected-app settings or contact support. Deleting Clipper AI data does not delete content already published on another platform.

Disconnect one platform: open Account → Social accounts, select the connected account, and remove it. The stored connection and publishing history are removed from active application records immediately, subject to the short YouTube revocation retry period described above. You can also revoke access from the platform itself — Google, TikTok, or Facebook.
Delete one project: press and hold a project in the library and choose Delete. Its source video, clips, transcript, and edits are removed.
Delete everything: open Settings → Delete account. This signs you out, disables your Clipper AI account, removes your personal profile and connected-platform credentials from active application records, and queues the permanent deletion of all stored source videos, clips, posters, and transcripts. The erasure completes in the background and does not require the app to stay open. The limited billing, transaction, and hashed-identity records described in Section 6 remain. They may be linked to an internal identifier or to a later sign-in for fraud prevention and eligible credit recovery; they are not anonymous.

If you cannot access the app, email info+clipperai@agiapplications.org from your account’s email address with the subject “Clipper AI data deletion”. We may request reasonable proof of account ownership before acting. You can request deletion of a specific connected platform’s data or deletion of your Clipper AI account. We do not need your password or social-platform access token.

11. Security

We use safeguards designed to protect your information, including encrypted network connections, account-based access controls, authentication-token validation, restricted media access, and encryption at rest for sensitive third-party authorization credentials. No system can guarantee absolute security.

12. Your Choices and Rights

You can:

View your customer ID and account details in Settings
Correct supported account preferences
Save, export, or delete projects
Disconnect supported social accounts
Restore App Store purchases
Log out of the app on your device
Permanently delete your account in Settings

Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a portable copy of your personal information. To make a privacy request, use Contact Support in the app or email info+clipperai@agiapplications.org.

13. Children's Privacy

Clipper AI 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 personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it.

14. International Processing

Information may be processed in countries other than where you live, where data protection laws may differ. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for these transfers.

15. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect product, legal, or operational changes. The latest version will remain available on this page. Material changes may also be communicated in the app or by email where appropriate.

16. Contact

For privacy questions, use Contact Support in Clipper AI Settings so your diagnostic information is included, or email info+clipperai@agiapplications.org.
