Privacy Policy

Last updated: [EFFECTIVE DATE]

This Privacy Policy explains how uClip (the “Service”), operated by [OPERATOR / LEGAL NAME] (“we”, “us”), handles your information. We aim to collect as little as possible and to be straight about what we do.

1. Information we collect

• Account data: if you register, your email address and a password (stored only as a salted hash, never in plain text).
• Session data: an anonymous session identifier stored in a cookie so your work persists, even before you register.
• Your Content: the videos, images and audio you upload or ask us to fetch from a link, and the files we render for you.
• Payment data: for Pro, we record the status of your Bitcoin invoice (paid/pending) via our payment server. We do not collect or store card, bank, or wallet credentials.
• Technical & log data: IP address, browser/device info, and records of key actions with timestamps and your session/user id, used for operating, securing and debugging the Service.

2. How we use your information

• to provide the Service — process your uploads/links, render clips, and generate captions;
• to authenticate you and keep your projects available;
• to enable and verify Pro access and partner codes;
• to secure the Service, prevent abuse, and diagnose problems;
• to comply with legal obligations.

3. Cookies

We use a small number of essential cookies, including an httpOnly authentication cookie and a session identifier. These are needed to run the Service. We do not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

4. How your content is processed

• Uploads: stored on our infrastructure so we can render your clips.
• Links you paste: at your request, we retrieve the content from the URL you provide so you can clip it. You are responsible for having the right to use that content.
• Captions: to generate captions, the audio of your clip is transcribed on our own infrastructure.
• Rendering: your media is transcoded to produce your output file.

5. Sharing & service providers

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only as needed to run the Service, for example with:

• our network/hosting provider [e.g. Cloudflare] that routes traffic to our server;
• our self-hosted payment server used to process Bitcoin invoices;
• authorities, where required by law.

6. Data retention

• Rendered files & projects: kept for a limited time (for example, roughly 7 days on Free and 90 days on Pro), then deleted.
• Logs: rotated and kept for a limited period for security and debugging.
• Account data: kept while your account exists; deleted on request or after prolonged inactivity.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live (including under the LGPD in Brazil and the GDPR in the EU/UK), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at [CONTACT EMAIL]. You can also request deletion of your account and content at any time.

8. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data — passwords are stored as salted hashes and authentication uses httpOnly cookies. No system is perfectly secure; the Service runs on self-hosted infrastructure, and you should keep your own copies of important files.

9. Children

The Service is not directed to children under [13/the applicable age]. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

10. International users

The Service is operated from [COUNTRY], and your information is processed there and by the providers listed above. By using the Service, you understand your data may be processed outside your country.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected by updating the date above. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.

12. Contact
