Privacy policy

Last updated: October 3, 2026

What ClipOnIt collects, why, with whom, for how long, and how to exercise your rights. Short version: your videos stay private, hosted in the European Union, deleted according to your plan or as soon as you ask.

Who is responsible

ClipOnIt (cliponit.app) is published by an independent founder based in Nantes, France, who is the data controller under the GDPR. Contact: hello@cliponit.app.

Data we collect

Account: email address, first or last name, password (stored hashed), and if you sign in with Google: Google identifier, name and avatar.

Content: the videos you upload or import by link, their transcripts, the generated clips and exports, your logo if any.

Usage: number of videos processed per month, AI calls (detection, description, translation), exports, API keys and authorized OAuth connectors.

Technical: session cookie, affiliate "ref" cookie (60 days) if you arrive through a referral link, theme and language in your browser's localStorage, IP address and server logs.

Why

Providing the service (transcribing, detecting highlights, reframing, captioning, exporting), managing your account and subscription, answering your requests, preventing abuse (per-IP limits on the free tool), and improving the product from aggregated usage statistics. Legal basis: performance of the contract, legitimate interest (security), legal obligations (invoicing).

Your videos are not used to train AI models, neither ours nor our processors'.

Processors

Hosting and storage: Hetzner, Helsinki (Finland, European Union). Transcription: OpenAI (Whisper). Highlight detection, descriptions and translations: Anthropic (Claude), which receives the transcript, not the video. B-roll: Pexels (search queries only). Payment: Stripe (we do not store your card). Transactional emails: Resend. Google sign-in: Google. DNS and protection: Cloudflare.

OpenAI, Anthropic, Pexels, Stripe, Resend, Google and Cloudflare are based in the United States; transfers rely on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses or the Data Privacy Framework.

Retention

Videos, transcripts and clips: on paid plans, kept while the subscription is active; Free plan: 7 days; free tool without an account: 24 hours. You can delete a video at any time, which deletes its clips and exports.

Account: until you delete it, on request. Invoices: 10 years (accounting obligation). Server logs: 30 days.

Your rights

Access, rectification, erasure, portability, restriction and objection: write to hello@cliponit.app from your account's address; we answer within 30 days. You can also lodge a complaint with the CNIL (cnil.fr), the French supervisory authority.

Security

Encryption in transit (HTTPS), passwords, API keys and OAuth tokens stored hashed, server access limited to the founder. No system is infallible: if a data breach affects you, you will be notified.

OAuth and MCP connectors

If you connect ClipOnIt to Claude, ChatGPT or another MCP client, that connector can, with your account: import videos, read and edit your clips, run exports. It never sees your password. You can revoke each connector in Billing → API key and MCP, and revoke your API key in the same place.

Cookies

Three cookies, all required for the service: "session" (login), "ref" (affiliate attribution, 60 days) and the OAuth state during a Google sign-in. No advertising tracker, no third-party analytics.

Minors

ClipOnIt is for people aged 16 and over. If an account was created by someone under 16, write to us: it will be deleted.

Changes

This policy may change with the product. The date at the top shows the current version; a significant change is announced by email to the affected accounts.
