Privacy policy

Last updated 22 October 2026. This policy explains what CapPaste collects when you use the editor at cappaste.com, why, and the choices you have.

What stays on your device

• Your videos, photos and audio files are opened and edited inside your browser. The files themselves are not uploaded to CapPaste (see Content review below for the small preview frames we keep).
• AI features (captions, voice isolation, noise reduction, background removal, scene detection) run on your computer. The AI models are downloaded to your browser; your media is not sent anywhere to process it.
• Projects are saved to a folder you choose or to this browser’s storage. Exports are created on your computer and downloaded by you.

What we collect

• Account details from Google sign-in: your name, email address, profile photo and a Google account ID.
• Your country, which you choose when you first sign in, so we can see where CapPaste is used.
• Usage records: sign-ins and app opens (with the time, browser type and screen size), projects created or opened, exports and failed exports (settings such as resolution, format, length and file size) and which AI features were used.
• Export copies: when an export finishes, a copy of the project file (the edit: clip positions, text, settings and file names — no media) and preview images taken from the exported video (3 for videos up to a minute, otherwise about one every 30 seconds) are saved to your CapPaste account. Audio exports save the project file and a 10-second sample of the exported audio, taken at a random point in very low quality (mono, about 30 KB), for content review.
• Content review frames: when you add a video to a video project, 2 to 4 frames taken at random moments (2 for clips under a minute, 3 up to 3 minutes, 4 for longer clips) are saved as small 300-pixel-wide pictures, with the file name, length and project name, so the administrator can check that CapPaste is not used for adult content. Audio projects are reviewed through the sample saved with each audio export instead.
• Messages you send with Contact us: the subject, your message, your name and email.
• Your content confirmation (that the export follows the content rules) is recorded with each export.

How we use it

• To run your account, keep the service working, fix problems and understand which features are used so we can improve them.
• To reply to your messages, and to check content against our content rules. If review frames, audio samples or exports show adult content, the administrator can disable exporting for the account; you are told when you try to export.
• We do not sell your information, do not show ads and do not use your media to train AI models.

Where it is stored and who can see it

• Account, usage and message records are stored with Google Firebase (Authentication and Firestore). Export copies, content review frames and audio samples are stored with Amazon Web Services (S3). The site is served through Amazon CloudFront.
• Only you (through the app) and the CapPaste administrator can access your records. Security rules block access by anyone else.
• Records are kept while your account is active. Ask us to delete your account and records with Contact us (subject Account & sign-in) and we will remove them, except where we must keep something by law.

Your choices

• You can ask to see, correct or delete your information at any time with Contact us.
• Signing out removes the sign-in from this browser. Clearing the site’s data in your browser deletes projects and settings kept in browser storage.
• CapPaste is not intended for children under 13. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.
• If this policy changes, the date at the top changes too.
