Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 15, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how YTClip ("YTClip", "we", "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use ytclip.com (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

• Account information. When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture to create and manage your account.
• Clip data. The YouTube links, start/end timestamps, and export settings you submit, plus metadata about the clips you create (title, time range, format) so we can show your history.
• Payment information. If you upgrade to Pro, payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store your full card details; Stripe handles payment data under its own terms.
• Usage analytics. We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy‑friendly, cookieless analytics tool that does not collect personal data or track you across sites.
• Technical data. A session cookie to keep you signed in, and limited technical information (such as IP address) used to operate the Service and prevent abuse.

How we use your information

• To provide the Service — authenticate you, process your clips, and deliver downloads.
• To manage subscriptions and billing.
• To maintain your saved clip history.
• To protect the Service against abuse, fraud, and excessive use.
• To understand aggregate usage and improve the product.

Cookies

We use a single essential session cookie to keep you signed in. Our analytics provider (Plausible) does not use cookies. We do not use advertising or cross‑site tracking cookies.

Third‑party services

We rely on trusted third parties to operate the Service, each governed by their own privacy policies:

• Google — sign‑in / authentication.
• Stripe — payment processing.
• Plausible — privacy‑friendly analytics.
• Cloud hosting and storage providers — to run the Service and temporarily store generated clips.

Data retention

We keep your account information and clip history for as long as your account is active. Generated clip files are temporary and are not retained long‑term — your history stores the clip's settings so you can re‑create it at any time. You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us.

Your rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information. To make a request, contact us at the address below.

Children's privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
