Privacy Policy for Clipfire

Last Updated: June 11, 2026

1. Information We Collect

When you log in using Google OAuth or Sign in with Apple, we collect your name, email address, and profile picture. We do not store your password or sensitive authentication details. We also collect data about your connected YouTube channels, imported videos, and generated clips to provide our services.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your email and profile information to authenticate your login and provide our clip generation services. Video data is processed by AI to identify viral moments and generate clips. Your information is never shared, sold, or distributed to third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Third-Party Services

Clipfire integrates with Google OAuth, Sign in with Apple, and the YouTube Data API. Authentication follows each provider's respective privacy policies: Google Privacy Policy, Apple Privacy Policy. We use AI services (Google Gemini) to analyze video content for clip generation.

4. Third-Party Processors

To operate Clipfire we share specific data with the following processors. Each receives only the data needed to perform its function and is bound by its own privacy terms.

  • Stripe — handles subscription billing and payment processing. Stripe receives your email, billing details, and subscription state; it does not receive your video content.
  • Amazon Web Services (S3, us-east-1) — stores your uploaded source videos, generated clips, and rendered compositions in encrypted buckets in the US-East-1 region.
  • Google Gemini — performs AI scoring of viral moments and truth-analysis of video content. We send transcripts, video frames, and optional audio to Gemini for analysis; results are stored in your account.
  • Faster-Whisper (self-hosted) — transcribes audio when YouTube captions are unavailable. Whisper runs on infrastructure we operate; no audio leaves our systems for transcription.
  • Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter (X), and Bluesky OAuth — authenticate sign-in and, where you connect them, publish clips to your accounts. Each provider receives the OAuth handshake; we receive a token, your basic profile, and (for publish destinations) permission to post on your behalf.

5. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely on AWS infrastructure in the US-East-1 region. We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure database access, and encrypted token storage on mobile devices.

6. Data Used to Improve Our Models

Clipfire is working toward replacing third-party AI providers with our own privately hosted models. To make that possible, we may retain the inputs and outputs of AI calls made on your behalf as training examples. This includes:

  • Clip scoring data — transcript windows, target platform, content style, and the resulting AI scores and selection decisions.
  • Truth-analysis data — transcripts sent for fact-check / credibility analysis, plus the full prompts and responses for any analysis chat conversations.

We do not sell this data and do not share it with third parties for their own model training. It is used solely to fine-tune Clipfire's internal models.

Opting out: if you do not want your inputs and outputs retained as training examples, email support@clipfire.app and we will exclude your account from future training collection and delete existing examples linked to your user ID. A programmatic in-app opt-out is on our roadmap.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

You may request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting us. Upon account deletion, all personal data, connected accounts, videos, and generated clips will be permanently removed.
