1. Scope
This policy explains how ClipFlight (“we”, “us” or “our”) handles information when you visit clipflight.com or use the ClipFlight publishing application at app.clipflight.com. ClipFlight is currently a private-beta tool for preparing and publishing vertical video to accounts that a user chooses to connect.
By using a connected platform through ClipFlight, you also remain subject to that platform’s own privacy policy and terms.
2. Data we handle
Session and security data
We process the session cookie used to protect the application, along with limited request and security metadata made available by our hosting provider, such as timestamps, IP address, user agent and error diagnostics.
Connected-account data
When you connect a social account, we store the platform account or channel identifier, display name, username, avatar URL, granted scopes, token expiry information and encrypted OAuth access credentials. We do not ask for or store your Google, YouTube, Instagram or TikTok password.
Media and publishing data
We store videos you upload, basic media metadata needed for preflight checks, captions and platform settings you submit, publishing status, platform post identifiers, permalinks and diagnostic errors.
Support data
If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you include in the message.
3. How we use data
We use this information only to authenticate access, display the accounts you connected, validate media, perform publishing actions you explicitly request, show progress and results, secure and maintain the service, troubleshoot failures, respond to support requests and comply with legal or platform-policy obligations.
We do not sell personal information, run behavioural advertising, or use your uploaded media or connected-platform data to train AI models.
4. YouTube API Services
ClipFlight uses YouTube API Services. When you connect YouTube, ClipFlight requests permission to read basic information about the YouTube channel you control and to upload videos only when you initiate a publish action.
ClipFlight may access and store your channel ID, channel title, channel avatar, granted scopes, encrypted access and refresh tokens, token expiry, uploaded video ID, visibility choice and resulting YouTube permalink. ClipFlight uses this data only to identify the selected channel, maintain the authorized connection, upload the video and display the result.
Your use of YouTube features is subject to the YouTube Terms of Service. Google’s handling of data is described in the Google Privacy Policy.
You can revoke ClipFlight’s access from the Accounts screen or through Google’s security permissions page. Revoking access stops future API access. You may also request deletion of the YouTube data stored by ClipFlight by emailing support@clipflight.com.
6. Retention, revocation and deletion
OAuth credentials are kept only while the account remains connected and are deleted after disconnection or a valid deletion request. YouTube API data that is not otherwise permitted to be retained is deleted or refreshed within the periods required by YouTube’s developer policies. Uploaded media and publishing history are retained until they are no longer needed for the service or you request deletion.
We process valid deletion and revocation requests as soon as practical and, for YouTube Authorized Data, within seven calendar days. Deleting data from ClipFlight does not delete a video or other data held by a connected platform. To delete content from YouTube, Instagram or TikTok, use that platform’s application or an authorized client that supports deletion.
7. Security and international processing
ClipFlight uses encrypted OAuth-token storage, workspace-scoped data access, HTTPS, secure cookies and access controls intended to protect stored data. No system can guarantee absolute security. Cloudflare may process data in countries other than your own as part of its global infrastructure.
The service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
8. Contact and changes
For privacy questions, access requests, deletion requests or complaints, email support@clipflight.com. Please do not send passwords, OAuth tokens or platform secrets.
We may update this policy when the service or applicable requirements change. The effective date at the top of this page will be revised when we do.
