Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Clip4Me ("we", "us") runs an AI clipping service that watches live streams and videos you choose, finds moments worth clipping, edits them into short vertical clips, and can post them to your connected social accounts. Questions about this policy: support@clip4me.ai.

2. What we collect

• Account details. Your email address and, if you give one, a display name. If you sign up with email, your password is stored only as a salted scrypt hash, never in plain text. If you sign in with Google, authentication is handled by Supabase Auth and we receive your email and basic profile from it.
• Sign-in sessions. A random session token tied to your account, used to keep you signed in.
• Onboarding answers. What you tell us while setting up (for example which streamers you clip, your goals, whether you are paid per view), used to suggest a plan and settings.
• Content you give us. Links to streams and videos (Twitch, Kick, YouTube and similar), files you upload, recordings of live streams you ask us to watch, live chat activity on those streams (used to spot moments chat reacted to), and the clips, captions, titles and thumbnails we generate.
• Transcripts and AI output. Speech-to-text transcripts of that content, plus the scores, edit decisions and chat messages you exchange with the in-app assistant.
• Connected social accounts. When you connect TikTok, Instagram or YouTube, we store the account name and an identifier from our posting partner, plus what was posted, when, and public performance numbers (views, likes, comments, shares) for clips we posted.
• Billing. Your plan, Stripe customer and subscription IDs, and subscription status. Card details are entered on Stripe and never reach our servers.
• Usage and security logs. Server logs, an audit trail of account actions (such as sign-in, password change, account deletion) and usage counts we need to enforce plan limits and keep the service running.

3. How we use it

• To provide the service: record, transcribe, analyse, edit, store and (when you ask) post your clips.
• To run your account: sign-in, password reset and verification emails, billing, and plan limits.
• To keep the service safe and working: preventing abuse, debugging, and measuring cost and performance.
• To show you analytics on clips you posted through us.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use third-party advertising or analytics trackers on the site.

4. Who processes your data

We use these service providers, each only for the job listed:

• Anthropic (Claude API): reading transcripts, chat and video frames to pick, score and edit clips, write captions and titles, and power the in-app assistant.
• Groq or OpenAI: speech-to-text transcription of audio.
• Cloudflare R2: storage of uploads, recordings and finished clips.
• Supabase: Google sign-in and a hosted copy of account and clip records.
• Stripe: subscriptions and payments.
• Outstand: posting clips to TikTok, Instagram and YouTube and fetching their stats, only for accounts you connect.
• Resend: sending account emails.
• Optional media tools some features may use: Pexels (stock footage search by keyword) and WaveSpeed (AI image or voice generation). These receive prompts or keywords, not your account details.

Clips you publish to a social platform are also governed by that platform's own privacy policy. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and users.

5. How long we keep it

• Raw live-stream footage is deleted after about 24 hours (sooner for parts that produced no clips). Finished clips stay until you delete them.
• Temporary working files on our servers are cleared after about 12 hours.
• Account data, clips and transcripts are kept while your account is open.
• Deleting your account (Settings) removes your channels, clips, files and account record and cancels any active subscription. Backups, logs and records we must keep for tax or legal reasons may persist for a limited time.

6. Cookies and local storage

We set one essential cookie, cfm_session, an HttpOnly session token that keeps you signed in. If you use Google sign-in, Supabase may store its own session in your browser. We also use browser local storage for small preferences (such as interface settings). We do not use advertising or tracking cookies, so there is no cookie banner.

7. Security

Passwords are hashed, connections use HTTPS in production, file links are signed and expire, and access to your data is limited to your account. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong, unique password.

8. Your choices and rights

You can view and edit your account details, disconnect social accounts, delete clips, and delete your whole account at any time in the app. Depending on where you live you may have rights to access, correct, export or erase your data, or object to processing. Email support@clip4me.ai and we will respond within a reasonable time.

9. Children

Clip4Me is not intended for anyone under 13 (or the minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect their data.

10. International transfers and changes

Our providers may process data in the United States and other countries. If we change this policy we will update the date above, and tell you in the app or by email for significant changes.
