- We don't ask for accounts and don't collect your personal information.
- Your photos and videos are processed entirely on your device and never uploaded to us.
- Ads and anonymous crash/usage analytics are provided by Google services described below.
Information we do not collect
We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, location, files, or any account data — because ClipTools has no accounts. No server of ours ever receives your media.
Data collected by third-party SDKs
ClipTools uses a small number of Google services to keep the app free and reliable:
- Google AdMob — serves ads in the app. AdMob may collect your advertising ID, device information, and coarse ad-serving data. See Google's Privacy Policy and Ads Policy.
- Firebase Analytics — collects anonymous usage events (like feature taps and app opens) to help us understand which features are useful.
- Firebase Crashlytics — collects crash logs, device model, and OS version to help us fix bugs.
These services help fund a free app, improve stability, and improve features. You can reset or delete your Advertising ID, and opt out of ads personalization, in your Android system settings.
App-specific data handling
ClipTools reads only the video files you pick using the media picker. Processing — compressing, trimming, converting, merging, and every other tool — runs entirely on your device. Output files are saved to your gallery, and your original files are never modified without your explicit action. Nothing is uploaded at any point.
Permissions we request and why
- Media/video access — to open the videos you choose to work on.
- Notifications — to show progress and completion for longer-running tasks like compression or conversion.
ClipTools does not request camera, microphone, contacts, or location access.
Children's privacy
ClipTools is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.
Data retention & deletion
We hold no user data ourselves. Data collected by Google's SDKs is governed by Google's own retention policies. Uninstalling the app removes all local app data. Because there is no account, there is no account-deletion process to complete.
Ads & purchases
ClipTools is free to use and supported by ads. If a one-time "Remove Ads" purchase is offered, it is processed entirely by Google Play — we never see your payment details.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the revised policy.
