Privacy Policy
The short version: Clipsie only touches the accounts and content you connect, and only to do the job you ask of it — find clip-worthy moments and publish them. We store your access tokens encrypted, we don't sell your data, and you can disconnect any account or delete your data at any time.
Clipsie ("Clipsie", "we", "us") is a video-clipping automation service operated by Yari Eugster (Switzerland). This policy explains what data we collect, why, and what control you have over it. It applies to the Clipsie website and service at clipsie.app.
1. Data we collect
Account data. When you sign up we collect your email address, authentication details, and billing information (processed by our payment provider — we do not store full card numbers).
Connected accounts (via OAuth). You authorize Clipsie to act on platforms you choose. We access only what's needed to operate the service:
- Twitch: the channels you connect, public stream and broadcaster metadata, live chat messages, and clip URLs — used to detect clip-worthy moments and retrieve source footage.
- YouTube: OAuth tokens for the channels you authorize, used solely to upload videos via the YouTube Data API. We do not read your other YouTube data.
- TikTok: OAuth tokens for the accounts you authorize, used solely to publish videos via the TikTok Content Posting API. We do not access your followers, messages, or analytics.
Content we process. To create a clip we temporarily handle the clip's video and audio, and generate a transcript and a title from it.
Usage & technical data. Standard logs (IP address, timestamps, error and upload events) used to operate, secure, and debug the service.
2. How we use your data
- To detect moments, create clips, and publish them to the accounts you connect.
- To run your account, process payments, and provide support.
- To keep the service secure, prevent abuse, and fix problems.
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for advertising.
3. Third-party processors
We share data with a small set of providers strictly to deliver the service:
- Anthropic — transcripts and short text are sent to Claude to score moments and generate titles.
- Groq — clip audio is sent for speech-to-text transcription.
- Our hosting and payment providers — for infrastructure and billing.
- The platforms you connect (Twitch, YouTube, TikTok) — to read source content and publish on your behalf.
4. Storage & retention
OAuth access and refresh tokens are encrypted at rest and stored only while the account is connected; disconnecting an account or closing your account deletes them. Clip media is transient — it is removed after the upload completes. Transcripts and generated titles are discarded after processing. Operational logs are retained for a limited period for security and debugging, then deleted.
5. Your rights & choices
You can disconnect any platform at any time (which revokes Clipsie's access), and you can request access to, export of, or deletion of your personal data by contacting us. Where applicable, we honor rights under the EU GDPR and the Swiss FADP. You can also revoke Clipsie's access directly in your Twitch, YouTube/Google, or TikTok account settings.
6. Security
We protect data with encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and the principle of least privilege. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to keep your tokens and content safe and to respond quickly to any incident.
7. International transfers
Clipsie operates from Switzerland and uses providers that may process data in other countries. Where data is transferred internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards as required by applicable law.
8. Children's privacy
Clipsie is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Changes
We may update this policy as the service evolves. Material changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, communicated to you directly.
