Privacy
GlideClip edits screen recordings inside your web browser. Your videos never leave your computer. This page explains the little we do collect, and why.
What never leaves your computer
- Your video files, their frames and their audio.
- The text GlideClip reads on screen and the transcript of your narration, unless you ask for AI suggestions (below).
- Your blurred copies, rendered videos, projects, series files and redaction reports. These are saved by your browser as ordinary downloads.
What we collect, and why
| What | Why | Who handles it |
|---|---|---|
| Your email address and sign-in details | To create your account and let you sign in. Only when you sign in. We also send one welcome email when you create a free account, with getting-started tips and any current offer; it has a one-click opt-out. | Clerk (sign-in) |
| A record of your weekly license | So we can help with your account: your account ID, email, plan, company (if any) and the license's dates. Kept up to 13 months. | GlideClip, on Cloudflare |
| Your subscription status and payment details | To take payment for Pro. Card details go to Stripe; we never see them. | Stripe, through Clerk Billing |
| Your synced settings (Pro) | So your settings follow you to another computer: your look and brand kits, series name, blur presets (which categories each one blurs), intro and outro cards and templates, segment cards, audio, and your tags. Never videos, scans, transcripts or projects, and never the names and words you list to blur (or never blur, or blur next to): those stay on each computer. Stored against a coded ID made from your account; delete them any time on your account page. | GlideClip, on Cloudflare |
| Counts of your AI use | To apply the monthly limit and to keep AI costs in check: the number of requests each month (deleted after 40 days) and, for each request, its time, the model and how much text went in and out, as numbers (kept up to 13 months). Stored against a coded ID made from your account, not your email. Never the text itself. | GlideClip, on Cloudflare |
| Company settings (Enterprise) | For members of a company account: the settings its admin saves (blur rules, brand kit, templates, AI data fields, limits) and the company's own AI key, stored encrypted and used only for that company's AI requests. Whether you're still a member, and your role, is checked with Clerk and remembered for 5 minutes. | GlideClip, on Cloudflare; Clerk |
| Text you send for AI suggestions | To suggest callouts when you turn AI on. Only the transcript, on-screen labels and your script, with the emails, phone numbers, web addresses, IDs and listed names GlideClip detects replaced by [REDACTED]. Detection can miss things, so check before you send. We pass it to Anthropic and don't store or log it. | Anthropic (Claude), through GlideClip's server |
| Questions you ask the help AI | To answer them from our help articles, when you're signed in and click Ask AI. The question goes to Anthropic and isn't stored, except a question the articles couldn't answer, which we keep for 30 days without your account, to know which help to write. Searching help without AI happens in your browser and sends nothing. | Anthropic (Claude), through GlideClip's server |
| Messages you send to support | To answer you: your email address, the topic, your message and our replies, plus your browser, GlideClip edition and plan if you leave that box ticked, and your account ID if you were signed in. Kept for a year after the last message. To limit spam, we count messages per sender each day using a scrambled form of your internet address, deleted after two days. | GlideClip; emails sent through Cloudflare |
| Standard web server logs | To run and protect the website (for example, to stop abuse). | Cloudflare |
We don't use analytics, advertising trackers or tracking cookies.
What's stored in your browser
- Your GlideClip license (renewed each week while you subscribe) and the email you signed in with, so the editor knows you have Pro.
- Your settings, such as your last-used series and, if you enter one, your own Anthropic API key. Your own key is sent only to Anthropic.
- Sign-in cookies set by Clerk on the account page.
Service providers
We use Cloudflare (hosting), Clerk (sign-in and billing), Stripe (payments) and Anthropic (AI suggestions, only if you use them). Each handles data under its own privacy terms and only for the purpose above.
Your choices
- You can use GlideClip without an account; the free edition doesn't need sign-in.
- You can leave AI suggestions off. Built-in suggestions are made on your computer.
- To delete your account or ask what we hold about you, contact us at [email protected].
Enterprise and offline copies
GlideClip copies that your organization runs on its own server send nothing to us. The license is checked in the browser without contacting GlideClip.
