Privacy Policy

Who we are

ReCut is designed and run by David Harlock, who is the data controller for the service. You can contact us about privacy through the Report page.

What we collect

Account details: your email address and sign-in information.

Workspace content: projects, timelines, titles and the media you upload, kept in private storage.

Technical records: error and processing logs used to keep the service running and secure.

People watching your videos

When someone watches or shares a video, we count it using a random key that changes daily and is stored as a one-way hash. We do not store viewers' IP addresses or names with these counts.

Advertising and consent

Free videos may include ads. Unless a viewer agrees to personalised advertising, ads are limited and non-personalised, and Google is asked not to store data on their device. Viewers can change this choice at any time.

How long we keep data

Working copies of your media stay until you delete them. Original uploads are kept according to your plan: 7 days on Free, 30 days on Pro, and until you delete them on Enterprise.

Copyright notices and related records are kept as long as needed for legal reasons, with personal details removed where possible.

Who helps us

We use trusted providers for hosting, databases and storage, video processing in the cloud, and advertising (Google). Payment providers will be added when paid plans launch. Each only receives what it needs.

International transfers

Some providers process data outside the UK and EU. Where they do, we rely on recognised safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct, export or delete your personal data, or object to how we use it. You can also complain to your local data protection authority, such as the ICO in the UK.

Changes to this policy

If we make significant changes we will update the date at the top and, where appropriate, let you know by email or in the app.
