Privacy Policy
Last updated: 31 October 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what data CLIPTALY ("Cliptaly", "we", "us") handles when you use the Cliptaly Android app and the website cliptaly.com (together, the "Service"). We follow the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and other applicable laws of India.
1. What stays on your phone (we never receive it)
- Videos and photos you choose with Android's photo picker. Cliptaly can only open the ones you pick.
- Songs you choose for Music.
- Voice recordings: the microphone is used only while you tap Record. The recording is saved inside the app on your phone.
- Speak: words you type for Speak are turned into a voice by your phone's own text-to-speech service (Android settings). The voice file is saved inside the app on your phone.
- Beat and Cutout: finding the beat of a song and finding a person to change the background (Google ML Kit) are done on your phone. Nothing is uploaded.
- Brand: the @name you type is kept only on your phone and added to your new videos.
- Your projects (My projects): your cuts, texts, stickers and other choices, so you can continue later.
- Your name, if you type one in Profile. It is shown only on your Home screen.
- Finished videos are saved to your phone's Gallery.
2. Data we receive
- App usage statistics (Google Firebase Analytics): which screens and buttons are used (for example, how many videos are saved), app version, phone model, Android version, language and approximate region (from the internet connection). It uses a random app ID, not your name or email.
- Crash reports (Google Firebase Crashlytics): technical details when the app stops working, so we can fix it.
- App settings (Google Firebase Remote Config): the app downloads settings from us, such as how many ads to show.
3. Ads
Cliptaly is free and shows ads from Google AdMob: a small banner on the Home, Tools and Profile screens (never while you edit), short video ads you choose to watch when you save a video (one for Normal, two for HD), and an ad when you open or come back to the app. To show and measure ads and prevent fraud, Google's ads software collects your IP address, your advertising ID, information about your phone and how you interact with ads. You can reset your advertising ID or turn off personalised ads in your phone's settings (Settings → Google → Ads, or Settings → Privacy → Ads, depending on your phone). See how Google uses data from apps that use its services.
4. Service providers
| Provider | What for |
|---|---|
| Google Firebase | App usage statistics, crash reports, app settings |
| Google AdMob | Ads |
| Google Play | App download and updates |
| Cloudflare | This website |
5. How long data is kept
- On your phone: until you remove a project or uninstall the app. Uninstalling removes your projects, voice recordings and name from the app. Videos you saved stay in your Gallery.
- Usage statistics and crash reports: kept by Google for a limited time under the retention settings of our Firebase project, and not linked to your name or email.
6. Your rights
You can ask us about your data, or ask us to correct or delete it, by writing to [email protected]. Because we do not know your name or email, we may need the app ID shown to us by Firebase to find your data. See Your data for the simple ways to delete everything. If you are not happy with our answer, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India.
7. Security
Data sent from the app uses encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS). Your media never leaves your phone. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data and will inform you and the authorities of a data breach as the law requires.
8. Children
Cliptaly is meant for people aged 18 or older. Younger people should use it only with a parent or guardian. We do not knowingly collect data about children.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. We will change the "Last updated" date above, and tell you in the app if the change is important.
10. Contact and Grievance Officer
Email: [email protected]
We acknowledge complaints within 2 working days and aim to resolve them within 30 days.
