Privacy Policy

TikCut ("TikCut", "we", "us", or "our") provides browser-based video editing tools that help creators remove silences, duplicates, and dead space from their videos. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have over it. By using TikCut you agree to the practices described here.

Account information

When you create an account, we collect your email address and, if you sign in with Google or Apple, the basic profile information those providers share (name, email, avatar). We do not receive your social account password.

Usage and device data

We collect limited technical information such as browser type, operating system, device capability flags (used to estimate processing capacity), pages visited, and timestamps. We use this to operate, secure, and improve the service.

Video content

Video editing in TikCut runs locally in your browser. Your raw video files are not uploaded to our servers during editing or export. If we add optional cloud features in the future, we will request your explicit consent before any upload.

Payment information

If you purchase a paid plan, payments are processed by our third-party payment processors (such as Stripe or Paddle). We do not store full card numbers on our servers. We receive transaction metadata (amount, currency, last four digits, billing country) to manage your subscription and comply with tax and accounting rules.

Communications

If you join our waitlist, contact support, or opt into product updates, we store the messages and email address you provide.

• Provide, maintain, and improve TikCut.
• Authenticate users and secure accounts.
• Process payments, prevent fraud, and meet legal obligations.
• Respond to support requests and send service-related notices.
• Send product updates if you have opted in. You can unsubscribe at any time.
• Analyze aggregate, de-identified usage to improve performance and features.

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process your personal data on the bases of contract (to deliver the service you requested), legitimate interests (to secure and improve TikCut), consent (for optional marketing), and legal obligation (tax, accounting, fraud prevention).

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with:

• Service providers that host our infrastructure, send email, process payments, and provide analytics, under contractual confidentiality and data-protection obligations.
• Authorities when required by law, subpoena, or to protect rights, safety, and property.
• A successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, subject to this Policy.

Our service providers may process data in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, we rely on standard contractual clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

We retain account information for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards to comply with legal, tax, and dispute-resolution requirements. You can request deletion at any time as described below.

We use industry-standard safeguards including TLS encryption in transit, encrypted storage at rest, role-based access controls, and routine security review. No system is perfectly secure; you use TikCut at your own risk.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your personal information, and to object to certain processing. California residents have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know, delete, correct, and opt out of "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell personal information.

To exercise any right, email privacy@tikcut.app. We will respond within the time required by applicable law.

TikCut is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA/UK). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

We use strictly necessary cookies and local storage to keep you signed in and remember preferences. We may use privacy-respecting analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced in-app or by email. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
