Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7 July 2026

LucidCut is designed as a local-first application. Your video and audio files never leave your device. This policy explains what limited data we do collect and why.

1. Data We Collect

Category	What	Why
Account	Email address, name (from Clerk sign-in)	Authentication, subscription management
Billing	Subscription ID, payment status, renewal date (from Razorpay)	Access control, billing history
Project backup (optional)	Project metadata JSON (clip names, timeline structure, settings — no media bytes)	Cloud sync and cross-device restore
Waitlist	Email address entered on landing page	Pre-launch invite queue
Crash / error logs	Stack traces, app version, OS version (via Sentry, if enabled)	Bug diagnosis

We do not collect or transmit your video files, audio files, or any media assets.

2. AI Features

When you use AI-assisted editing, prompts and chat messages are sent to third-party AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Azure) using API keys you supply. We do not log or store these interactions. Review the relevant provider's privacy policy for how they handle API data.

3. Third-Party Services

Clerk — authentication. clerk.com/privacy
Convex — project backup storage. convex.dev/privacy
Razorpay — payment processing. razorpay.com/privacy
Resend — transactional email (invites). resend.com/privacy
Sentry — error monitoring (opt-out available in settings). sentry.io/privacy

4. How We Use Your Data

Authenticate you and manage your subscription.
Sync project metadata to the cloud when you choose to back up.
Send you operational emails (trial expiry, payment receipts, invite emails).
Diagnose crashes and improve the app.

We do not sell your data. We do not use it for advertising.

5. Data Retention

Account data is retained while your account exists. You can request deletion by emailing us.
Project backup data is deleted when you delete the project in-app or close your account.
Waitlist entries are deleted once you create a paid account or on request.
Sentry error events are auto-deleted after 90 days.

6. Your Rights

You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time by emailing mvkbhat.official@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days.

7. Security

Data in transit is encrypted via TLS. Project backups are stored encrypted at rest in Convex. Billing data is handled solely by Razorpay — we do not store card numbers or bank details.

8. Children

LucidCut is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a minor has signed up, contact us and we will delete the account.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy. Continued use after the updated "Last updated" date constitutes acceptance. Material changes will be notified in-app.
