Privacy policy — Cutmoor

Your video and image files

Video and audio files are read by your browser and processed in the page using WebAssembly. Images are decoded and re-encoded with the canvas API. They are not uploaded to a Cutmoor server. Cutmoor does not operate a media storage service and does not keep a copy of your file.

HEIC photos are decoded locally. Safari uses the operating system decoder. Chrome, Edge, and Firefox download an open-source libheif decoder once, only when a HEIC file is selected; it runs in the page and does not send the photo anywhere.

When you close or reload the tab, the working copy in memory is released by the browser. The exported file is saved wherever your browser saves downloads.

Information stored in your browser

Cutmoor itself sets no tracking cookies and keeps no account data. The tools work without storing anything about you in the browser.

• Advertising cookies, where used, are set by Google and its partners, not by Cutmoor. They are described in the next section.
• No account, email, or payment information is required to use the tools.

Advertising and cookies

The site shows ads served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies and device identifiers to serve and measure ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time in Google's Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com), or opt out of many third-party vendors at aboutads.info/choices.

Google requires consent before personalised ads are shown to visitors in the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland. Where it applies, that consent is collected by Google's own certified consent message, and you can change your answer from the same message. Your files are never part of advertising: ad partners cannot see the videos or images you process.

Analytics and server logs

The default build does not include a third-party analytics script. The hosting provider may keep standard request logs, such as IP address, user agent, and the requested URL, for security and reliability. Those logs are controlled by the host, not by the browser tools.

The video encoder program file (FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly) may be delivered from a public content network, unpkg.com, which receives the same standard request data when your browser downloads it. Only the program file is fetched from there; your videos and photos are never sent anywhere. The site checks the file's SHA-256 fingerprint before running it.

Your rights

Because Cutmoor does not create an account or store your files, there is usually no personal profile to export or delete. Cutmoor does not keep cookies or local storage of its own; your browser may cache the site's files, which you can clear at any time through your browser's site data settings.

If you believe a deployed copy of Cutmoor is processing personal data unlawfully, contact the operator of that site. The contact address for this project is listed on the contact page.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated date at the top of the page changes with it. Material changes will be described on this page rather than hidden in a changelog.
