Privacy Policy
Clipper · Last updated 21 August 2026
Clipper ("the app") is a personal application that helps its owner create short video clips and publish them to the owner's own YouTube channel. This policy explains what data the app touches and how it is handled.
Who runs the app
Clipper is operated by an individual for personal use and runs locally on the user's own computer. It is not offered as a hosted service to other people.
Information the app accesses
When you connect your Google account, Clipper uses the YouTube Data API and Google OAuth to:
- Upload videos that you produce to your own YouTube channel;
- Read basic metadata and public performance statistics for your own channel and videos, in order to display reports to you.
Clipper also processes the video and audio files you give it, on your computer, to produce clips.
How information is used
Data obtained from Google is used only to provide the features you request — uploading your clips and showing you your own statistics. It is not used for advertising, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to those features.
How information is stored and shared
- Your Google OAuth credentials (access and refresh tokens) are stored locally on your own computer so the app can act on your behalf without asking you to sign in every time.
- Video files and generated clips are stored locally on your own computer.
- The developer does not collect, receive, host, or have access to your Google data or your videos.
- No data is sold, and none is shared with third parties, except that uploads are sent to YouTube (Google) at your request, and requests to Google's own APIs are transmitted to Google.
Data retention and deletion
Because data stays on your own machine, you remain in control of it. You can revoke the app's access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions, and you can delete the app's local files (including stored tokens) to remove any retained data.
