Privacy policy

Videos you process are never uploaded. They are decoded, analysed, redacted and re-encoded by your own browser, on your own device. We do not receive them, store them, or have any technical means of accessing them. This is a property of how the software works rather than a policy commitment, and you can confirm it yourself — see verify it yourself.

Filenames are likewise never transmitted.

We use Google Analytics to understand how many people visit and which steps of the workflow they reach — for example, how many visitors who select a file go on to export a result. This sets cookies and records your IP address, handled by Google as described in their own privacy documentation.

We also send anonymous performance metrics to Axiom, a logging service: how long a scan took, which detection backend ran, a coarse size band for the video, and your device’s general capabilities. No filenames, no video content and no account identifiers are included.

You can block both with any standard content blocker, and the tool will continue to work normally.

You only need an account if you choose to pay to remove the export watermark. In that case we store your email address, held in Amazon Cognito, together with a record of whether you have purchased. We use it to sign you in and to honour your purchase on later visits. We do not send marketing email.

Payments are processed by Stripe. Card details are entered on Stripe’s own hosted checkout page and never reach this site. We receive confirmation that a payment succeeded, not your card number.

The site stores your light or dark theme preference in your browser’s local storage, and — if you sign in — the session tokens that keep you signed in. Google Analytics sets its own cookies as described above. Nothing else is stored on your device by us.

If you are in the UK or the EU, data protection law gives you the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and to object to how it is processed. In practice the only personal data we hold is the email address of paying customers. To exercise any of these rights, or to have your account and email address deleted, email hello@anonymizevideo.app.

Our lawful basis for holding a customer email address is performance of the contract to supply watermark-free exports. Our lawful basis for analytics is legitimate interest in understanding how the site is used.

If this policy changes materially, the date at the top of this page will change with it.
