Privacy Policy — ClipStitch

Overview

ClipStitch (“the App”) is a video merging and YouTube uploading tool for iOS. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information.

Data We Collect

Data stored on your device only

• Merge history (titles, timestamps, video counts) — stored locally in the app
• App settings (preferences, default values) — stored locally
• Merge credits (monthly usage count) — stored in the device Keychain

Data shared with third parties

Google / YouTube

When you connect a Google account for YouTube uploads, the App:

• Uses Google Sign-In to authenticate your Google account
• Accesses the YouTube Data API v3 to:
  • List your YouTube channels and playlists
  • Upload videos to your YouTube channel
  • Update video metadata (title, description, privacy)
• Stores your Google account email, display name, and channel information in the device Keychain for convenience
• Does NOT store your Google password — authentication is handled entirely by Google’s OAuth 2.0

You can disconnect your Google account at any time from the App’s Settings.

Apple

• In-App Purchases are processed by Apple. We do not receive or store your payment information.
• StoreKit 2 is used to verify your subscription status locally on the device.

Tally (contact form)

The contact form on this Privacy Policy page is provided by Tally. When you submit the form, the information you enter (such as your name, email, and message) is transmitted to and stored by Tally so that we can read and reply to it. Tally also collects basic technical information (e.g. browser type, IP address) as part of the submission. See Tally’s Privacy Policy for details.

Data we do NOT collect

• We do not operate any servers or databases
• We do not collect analytics, crash reports, or usage statistics
• We do not track your location
• We do not share, sell, or transmit any personal data to third parties (beyond the YouTube upload functionality you initiate)
• We do not use advertising SDKs

Photo Library Access

The App requests access to your photo library to:

• Browse and select videos for merging
• Save merged videos to your Camera Roll
• Delete source videos (only when you explicitly request it)

Video data is processed entirely on your device. Videos are only uploaded to YouTube when you explicitly initiate the upload.

Data Retention

All data is stored locally on your device. Uninstalling the App removes all data except:

• Keychain data (Google account info, merge credits) — may persist on the same device after reinstall
• YouTube videos you uploaded — these remain on YouTube and must be managed from YouTube directly

Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date above.
