Privacy Policy
Your video is yours. Full stop.
Last updated: 14 September 2026 · version 2026-09-14
The short version
- Your footage and projects live on your device (browser storage) by default. Some processing happens on our servers — cloud rendering (used automatically on phones and devices that can't render locally) and audio extraction for captions upload your file temporarily to our storage and processing servers, and it's deleted right after processing (with a short automatic-expiry backstop). On iPhone and iPad only, we also keep a copy of an imported video for up to 48 hours so the editor can restore it if Safari clears its browser storage mid-project (a known iOS behaviour that otherwise loses your video); that copy is deleted automatically after 48 hours.
- We never use your content to train AI models. Not ours, not anyone's.
- Analytics run only if you click "Allow" on the consent banner. Saying no changes nothing about how the product works.
- When a feature needs to send data somewhere (e.g. transcription), we say exactly what goes where, below.
What we collect today
- Account — your email and login metadata (including Google profile name/photo if you sign in with Google), to sign you in. Stored with our authentication and database provider.
- Captions — speech-to-text— when you click "Generate captions", the audio of the selected layeris sent securely to our speech-recognition partner to be transcribed, and the transcript is returned to your device. On devices whose browser can't read the audio locally (e.g. iPhone), the video file is first uploaded to our own processing server, the audio is extracted there, and the file is deleted immediately after. If the result comes back in the wrong script and you approve a retry, the same audio goes to a second recognition engine instead. We don't store your audio; the caption text lives in your browser, not on our servers.
- AI features — when you run Auto Trim, Roman transliteration or caption translation, the text transcript (never the video or audio) is sent to a language-model provider and the result is returned to your device.
- Usage meters & service logs — to enforce plan limits, bill honestly and debug failures, we record per request: transcription duration (seconds), language codes, word counts, AI tokens and provider-reported cost, latency, success/error status and provider error messages — tied to your account id. These logs contain no audio, no video and no caption text.
- Payments — INR payments are handled by Razorpay; international (USD) payments are handled by Dodo Payments as Merchant of Record. We never see or store your card/UPI details — only the order, plan and its status. Payment processors receive the data they need to process the transaction (e-mail, amount, country) under their own privacy policies.
- Devices— to enforce your plan's device limit we keep a small registry per account: a random device id (stored in your browser — no fingerprinting), a label like "Chrome · Windows", and first/last-seen times. You can see and remove devices anytime in Account → Devices. Clearing site data simply counts as a new device.
- Fonts— Google Fonts load from Google's servers when you pick them (Google's standard font CDN; no account data is sent). Custom fonts you upload are stored only on your device (browser storage) — we never receive or host your font files.
- Onboarding profile— when you first open the app we ask your date of birth, gender, what describes you (e.g. editor, creator), and optionally where you found us and what you'll caption. This is used to understand who we're building for and to improve the product — never for ads, never shared. Stored against your account; deleted with it.
- Font favorites — fonts you star are saved to your account so they sync across devices (just the font names, nothing else).
- Support conversations— reports you send us (message, category, any screenshots you attach) and the chat that follows are stored with your account so we can help you and keep a record of what was promised. Screenshots live in private storage readable only by our team. Please don't include passwords or payment details in support messages.
- Site notifications— when we show a site-wide announcement banner (maintenance, offers, terms updates) we keep a timestamped record of the announcement itself and of when it was dismissed (tied to your account if you're signed in) — our audit trail that a notice was given.
- Consent choice— your Allow/Deny decision is stored in your browser (and alongside your account) so we don't re-ask.
- Anonymous analytics (only after you Allow) — we use Google Analytics 4 (with IP anonymisation) to understand which pages and features get used. It loads ONLY after you press Allow on the consent banner. No ad tracking, no data selling, no cross-site profiling.
Cloud processing (live)
- Cloud exports (Cloudflare R2 + our render server)— on phones and other devices that can't render reliably in the browser, exports run on our own render server instead: your video is uploaded to our Cloudflare R2 storage, rendered on our server (EU), downloaded back to you, and deleted the moment your download completes (a short automatic-expiry rule is the backstop if a download is abandoned). Desktop exports still render entirely on your device.
- Import optimization (phones)— very large or very high-resolution videos (e.g. 4K recordings) can't be played by phone browsers. On phones, such a file is uploaded once at import, converted on our server to a phone-friendly version (typically lower resolution and standard dynamic range — quality may differ from the original), downloaded back to your device as the project video, and the uploaded original is deleted immediately after conversion.
What we will never do
- Train AI models on your videos, audio, or transcripts.
- Sell or share your personal data with advertisers.
- Run analytics or tracking before you consent.
- Say one thing here and do another in the product.
International transfers & legal bases
We are based in India; our processors (hosting, database, speech recognition, language models, analytics, payments) may process data in the US, EU or India under their own compliance programs (including standard contractual clauses where applicable). Under India's DPDP Act 2023, personal data may be transferred outside India except to countries the Indian government specifically restricts by notification — none are restricted as of this policy's date. Where GDPR applies, our legal bases are: contract (providing the service you signed up for — accounts, captions, billing), legitimate interest (security, rate-limiting, fraud prevention, service logs) and consent (analytics, which never loads before you press Allow).
Your rights
You can withdraw analytics consent anytime (clearing site data resets the banner). You can request access to, correction of, export of, or deletion of your personal data by writing to support@fluxocut.comfrom your account e-mail — we act on verified requests within 30 days. Deleting your account purges our copies of your data; records we are legally required to keep (payments/tax) are retained only as long as required. We honor rights under India's DPDP Act 2023, the EU/UK GDPR (including the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority) and the CCPA — and we apply the same standard globally. We do not sell personal data. FluxoCut is intended for users 18 and older — see Terms §13.
Grievance Officer & contact
Questions, data-rights requests, or complaints about how we handle your data: privacy@fluxocut.com— this is also our designated Grievance Officer contact under India's DPDP Act 2023. We acknowledge every grievance and aim to resolve it within 30 days; if you are not satisfied with our response, you may escalate to India's Data Protection Board or your local supervisory authority. We reply to every mail.
