Qcut Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 2026

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Qcut ("we", "us", or "our") — owned and operated by Edit on the Spot — collects, uses, and protects information when you access or use our browser-based video editing platform, website, or related services (collectively, the "Service").

Qcut is designed with privacy by default. You can edit and export videos directly in your browser without creating an account, logging in, or providing personal information.

By using the Service, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use Qcut.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

Qcut does not require you to create an account, and we do not ask for personal information such as your name, email, or payment details to use our free editing features.

However, you may voluntarily provide:

• Support inquiries: when you contact us at support@editonthespot.com or through feedback forms, you may include your name, email, and message.
• Optional feedback: if you share product suggestions, bug reports, or improvement ideas.

We use this information only to respond to your request or feedback.

2.2 Automatically Collected Data

To ensure performance and security, Qcut may automatically collect limited technical information through your browser, including:

• Browser type and version
• Device type and operating system
• Language preferences
• Time of access, session duration, and usage metrics
• Anonymous analytics data (e.g. features used, session errors, load times)

This information is aggregated and anonymised — it does not personally identify you.

2.3 Content You Upload or Edit

When you upload videos, audio, or images to Qcut ("Your Content"), we:

• Process the files temporarily in your browser or on secure servers to perform editing, AI-based analysis, or exports.
• Do not use Your Content for marketing or public display.
• Automatically delete or anonymise Your Content once your browser session ends or processing completes.

Qcut does not retain, back up, or guarantee recovery of Your Content once your session ends. You are solely responsible for downloading and storing your projects.

2.4 Cookies and Tracking

Qcut operates with no advertising cookies and no cross-site tracking.

We use only minimal, privacy-friendly technologies:

• Session storage/local storage: to temporarily remember editing progress within your browser.
• Anonymous analytics (optional): to improve stability and usability, using aggregated data that cannot identify individual users.

You can disable analytics collection in your browser or device settings without affecting access to Qcut.

3. How We Use Information

We process information solely to:

1. Operate, maintain, and improve the Service;
2. Ensure performance, security, and stability;
3. Provide customer support and respond to inquiries;
4. Improve AI editing, captioning, and automation features;
5. Comply with legal obligations where required.

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers or external marketing platforms.

4. AI and Machine Learning Features

Some Qcut features may involve automated analysis of Your Content (e.g. highlight detection, speech transcription, or noise removal).

• Processing occurs securely within your browser or on Qcut's servers.
• For anonymous users, Qcut may use de-identified, aggregated data to train and improve AI models.
• No personally identifiable information is used in AI training.
• You can opt out of AI model training by emailing support@editonthespot.com.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

• Session data and temporary files are automatically deleted once you close your browser, complete exports, or end your editing session.
• Support emails and feedback may be retained securely for up to 12 months for service improvement and legal compliance.
• We do not retain any user projects or personal data beyond what is necessary to provide the Service.

You may request deletion of any personal correspondence by contacting support@editonthespot.com.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including:

• HTTPS encryption for all data in transit;
• Isolated processing environments;
• Access control and audit logging;
• Regular system security reviews.

However, no system is completely secure. You use Qcut at your own risk, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure.

7. International Data Transfers

Qcut operates globally and may process data on servers located in different countries.

Where data is transferred internationally, we ensure it is protected under equivalent data protection standards (including GDPR-compliant mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses where required).

8. Children's Privacy

Qcut is not intended for use by individuals under 16 years of age without parental or guardian consent.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will delete it promptly.

9. Third-Party Services and Links

Qcut may include links to external websites or integrate with third-party tools (e.g., cloud storage, video hosting, or analytics providers).

We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any third-party websites.

We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any information or using their services.

10. Your Rights (Global Compliance)

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:

• Access: to know what information we hold about you.
• Correction: to update inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Deletion: to request removal of your data.
• Restriction: to limit how your data is used.
• Portability: to request a copy of your data in a portable format.
• Opt-out: to withdraw consent for optional analytics or AI training.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact support@editonthespot.com.

We will respond to verified requests within 30 days, or within the timeframe required by applicable law.
