Privacy at ClipShed
This is the plain-English version of how ClipShed handles your data. We've kept it short and tried to only describe what's actually happening today, not what we wish we were doing. ClipShed is currently in private beta, and the surface area of this policy will grow as the product does.
Who we are
ClipShed is a video library and clipping tool, run by the team at Kento Studio and accessed at clipshed.app. We control your account information and the content you upload to the service.
What we collect
- Account data — your name and email address, received from Google when you sign in.
- Uploaded content — the videos and audio files you upload, plus any URLs you paste.
- Derived data — transcripts, clip metadata, and search embeddings generated from your uploads.
- Server logs — standard web server logs (IP address, user-agent, timestamps) used for debugging and abuse prevention.
How we use it
- To run the product: transcribing, segmenting, and indexing your uploads so you can search and export them.
- To authenticate you and keep your session active.
- To debug issues and protect the service against abuse.
We do not sell your data and we do not share it with advertisers. We do not use the content of your uploads to train general-purpose AI models.
Third parties we share data with
- Google — for sign-in (OAuth). Google provides us with your basic profile; they do not receive your uploads.
- OpenAI — transcripts are sent to the OpenAI API to generate search embeddings. OpenAI's API terms state that data submitted via the API is not used to train their models.
- Cloudflare R2 — object storage for your uploads and rendered clips. R2 encrypts objects at rest by default.
- Infrastructure providers — whoever hosts our servers and database on any given day.
Where data is stored
Your uploads and rendered clips live in Cloudflare R2, which applies server-side encryption at rest. Account and metadata live in a Postgres database. Traffic between your browser and ClipShed is served over HTTPS.
Your rights
From inside the app, at any time:
- Delete a video or clip. Deleting a video from the library removes its source file and any generated clips from R2.
- Delete your whole account. The "Delete account" option in Settings removes your user record and signs you out immediately.
We don't yet have a self-serve data export. If you want a copy of what we hold on you, email us and we'll help you out.
Cookies and local storage
We don't use cookies. We store a few items in your browser's local storage so the app works: your sign-in tokens, your active workspace, your theme preference, and your recent searches. No advertising, analytics, or cross-site tracking.
Children
ClipShed is not intended for anyone under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, email us and we'll remove it.
Our commitments
Some things we aim for but aren't fully automated yet. Putting them here so the bar is visible:
- If you ask us to delete your data, we'll complete it as quickly as we can, aiming for 30 days at the outside.
- If this policy changes in a material way, we'll update the date at the top and, where we have your email, let you know.
- We'll add a self-serve data export once there's a sensible format for it.
Changes
We'll update this page whenever what we actually do changes. The "last updated" date at the top tells you when.
