2What we collect

Technical metadata
File name, duration, resolution, processing status, error logs.

We do not require user accounts, names, or email addresses for free use. Email is collected only if you opt-in for receipts or quotas.

To monitor service performance, detect abuse, and improve reliability.
To handle billing and receipts once payments are enabled.
We never sell, trade, or rent user data.
4Storage and retention
Video files
Reside on secure servers (initially local VM storage; later an S3-compatible bucket) and are deleted automatically after 24 hours.
Logs
Minimal logs (request ID, job ID, processing time) are retained up to 30 days for debugging and metrics.
Backups
Are not kept beyond what's required for system reliability.
5Lawful basis for processing
Processing is based on legitimate interest (providing the Service) and, where applicable, contractual necessity (processing your paid video).
6Your rights (GDPR)
If you are in the UK or EEA, you have the right to:
Access or request deletion of your data (video or logs)
Object to processing or request limitation
Data portability - receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
Lodge a complaint with the ICO (UK supervisory authority)
To exercise any rights, email privacy@[yourdomain].com with your job ID or upload timestamp.
7Security
We apply encryption in transit (HTTPS), server-side deletion jobs, strict CORS, rate-limits, and regular patching. No external parties have direct access to stored files.
8International data transfers
Data processing occurs within the UK. If we use third-party services that may transfer data outside the UK/EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with UK GDPR requirements.
9Automated decision-making
Our service uses automated face detection algorithms to process your videos. This automated processing does not involve profiling or decisions that significantly affect you legally or otherwise - it simply provides the technical service you requested.
10Children's privacy
This Service is not directed to children under 16.
