Privacy policy

Auto-Clipper is a private, invite-only tool run by one person on their own computer for themselves and invited friends. It turns long videos into short vertical clips and, if you connect your account, uploads them to your channel.

What we store

• Your Google sign-in: email address and display name, to recognise you.
• Connected accounts: if you connect YouTube, the access token Google gives us, stored only on the host computer in a folder for your account. It is never shared, logged or sent anywhere except to Google.
• Your sources and clips: the links you add, the videos downloaded from them, transcripts, and the clips made from them.

How it is used

• Only to make clips for you and post the ones you (or your auto-approve setting) approve, to the account you connected.
• Video and transcripts are processed on the host computer with a local AI model. Nothing is sold, and nothing is used for advertising.
• We use YouTube API Services. Google's privacy policy also applies: policies.google.com/privacy.

How long we keep it

• Downloaded source videos are deleted after the clips are made.
• Clips are deleted 14 days after they are posted or rejected.
• Disconnecting YouTube deletes the stored token and revokes it at Google. You can also revoke access at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
• Ask the owner who invited you to remove your account and data at any time.
