1 Introduction

Welcome to Cimo Cut – a powerful yet intuitive video editing tool designed for creators of all levels. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile app, website, or any related services.

Privacy-First Design: Cimo Cut processes your videos locally on your device by default. We do not upload your raw footage or edited projects to our servers unless you explicitly use optional cloud features (e.g., project backup or sharing). Your creative content belongs to you.

2 Information We Collect

We collect minimal information to provide, improve, and personalize your editing experience.

Account Information

Email address, username, password (hashed), optional profile picture, and preferences (if you create an account).

User Content

Videos, images, and audio files you import for editing. This content stays on your device. We do not access or upload it without your explicit action (e.g., cloud backup).

Device & Usage Data

Device model, OS version, IP address, app version, crash logs, and anonymized feature usage analytics.

Payment Information

If you purchase a premium subscription, payment details are processed by PCI‑compliant partners (we do not store full card numbers).

Information You Provide Directly

  • When you register for an account or edit your profile.
  • When you import media files from your device (these remain local unless you choose cloud features).
  • When you contact support or participate in surveys.

Information Collected Automatically

  • Technical data about your device and app performance.
  • Crash reports to help us fix bugs.
  • Anonymized analytics on which editing features are used most.

We do not collect or store your edited videos unless you explicitly enable cloud backup or sharing.

3 How We Use Your Information

Information Category Purpose Legal Basis (for EEA)
Account & Profile Create/manage account, authenticate you, enable cloud features (if opted in). Contract performance
User Content (local) To enable editing features on your device. We do not access or process this content on our servers unless you use cloud sync. Contract performance / Consent
Device & Usage Data Optimize app performance, fix bugs, understand feature popularity. Legitimate interest
Payment Information Process subscriptions, handle billing and renewals. Contract / Legal obligation

We also use aggregated, anonymized data for analytics and to improve our service. We do not use your data for automated decision-making that has legal or significant effects without your consent.

4 Information Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We share your data only in limited scenarios:

  • With your consent: For example, when you choose to save a project to the cloud or export/share a video to social media.
  • Service providers: Trusted partners who help us operate (cloud hosting, analytics, payment processing). They are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
  • Legal requirements: If required by law, regulation, or valid legal process.
  • Business transfers: In case of merger, acquisition, or asset sale (we will notify you).

Your locally stored videos and projects are never shared with us or third parties unless you explicitly choose to upload or share them.

5 Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:

  • Encryption of data in transit (TLS 1.2+) for any cloud interactions.
  • Hashing of passwords using bcrypt.
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing.
  • Strict access controls for internal data handling.
  • Local processing means your video files never leave your device unless you choose to upload them.

Your role: Keep your login credentials secure, use a strong password, and log out on shared devices. If you suspect unauthorized access, contact us immediately.

6 Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access & Portability: Request a copy of your account data in a portable format.
  • Correction: Update inaccurate information in your profile.
  • Deletion: Delete your account and associated data (cloud projects will be removed).
  • Objection: Object to processing based on legitimate interests (e.g., analytics).
  • Withdraw Consent: For optional features like cloud sync or crash reporting.

To exercise your rights, contact us at langieolivier@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days (often sooner).

7 Children's Privacy

Cimo Cut is not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such data, we will delete it promptly.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

8 International Data Transfers

We operate globally. If you use optional cloud features (backup, sync), your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own (e.g., United States, Singapore, European Union). When we transfer data from the EEA, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or other approved safeguards.

By using cloud features, you consent to such transfers. Local editing does not involve any data transfer.

9 Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be notified via the app or email (if you have an account). The “Last Updated” date at the top indicates the latest revision. Your continued use of Cimo Cut after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
