How We Handle Your Content

Basic video editing happens locally on your device.{" "} For standard editing features, we never upload, store, or have access to your video files. Your content remains completely private and under your control.

AI features require secure processing: When you choose to use AI features like auto captions, your audio/video content is encrypted on your device before being uploaded to our servers for processing. We use zero-knowledge encryption, meaning we cannot decrypt or view your content.

After AI processing is complete, the encrypted content is immediately deleted from our servers. Only the results (like generated captions) are returned to your device.

Account Information

When you create an account, we only collect:

We do NOT store your projects on our servers. All project data, including names, thumbnails, and creation dates, is stored locally in your browser using IndexedDB.

We use{" "} Better Auth {" "} for secure authentication and follow industry-standard security practices.

AI Features & Encryption

When you use AI-powered features (like auto captions, content analysis, or enhancement tools), your content needs to be processed on our servers. Here's how we protect your privacy:

Different AI features may process different types of content (audio for captions, video for analysis, etc.), but all follow the same zero-knowledge encryption approach.

Analytics

We use{" "} Databuddy {" "} for completely anonymized and non-invasive analytics to understand how people use OpenCut.

This helps us improve the editor, but we never collect personal information, track individual users, or store any data that could identify you.

Local Storage & Cookies

We use browser local storage and IndexedDB to:

All data stays on your device and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.
