Privacy Policy — Text Match Cut Video Editor & Exports

Who we are and what this policy covers

Text Match Cut operates textmatchcut.video, a free tool for making text match cut videos. For privacy questions or requests, contact yzshi123@gmail.com. In this policy, “we” means the operator of this website. This policy covers the website and the free editing tools available on it.

The current release does not sell credits, take payments or enable paid AI tools. You do not need an account to edit or export. If we introduce cloud processing, payments or additional data uses, we will explain them before you use those features and update this policy as appropriate.

Your creative files are processed in your browser

Your text, imported screenshots, photos, PDF pages, audio, subtitle files and project backups are processed on your device by the free editor. English optical character recognition (OCR), focus-word positioning, beat analysis, previews and video or image exports run in your browser. Choosing a file in this editor does not upload its contents to our server. The current free editor does not send these project inputs to Fal, Replicate or another AI provider.

OCR runtime files and the English recognition model are downloaded from our website when you request word recognition. The model download is a normal website request; the page pixels being recognized stay on your device. Preview and export can use substantial device memory, and the available formats depend on your browser.

Pasting a source URL records a reference in the project. It does not automatically capture or fetch that webpage. Following an external link opens the destination website, whose own privacy practices apply.

Local project storage and backups

The editor uses your browser's IndexedDB and local storage to remember projects, source images, imported audio, the current project and editing preferences. Browser storage is specific to the device, browser profile and website origin. It is not a cloud backup or synchronization service, and we cannot retrieve a local project for you.

Local data remains until you delete the project, clear website data, use a temporary browser session, or the browser removes stored data. Storage can also become unavailable because of device limits or browser settings. Before changing devices or clearing site storage, download a project backup and keep the original files. Project JSON backups include source images and reference links but do not include imported audio; keep that audio separately. A backup may contain private images or text, so share it carefully.

You can delete a project using the editor's project controls or remove all local data using your browser's settings for this website. Deleting a local project does not delete files you previously downloaded or copies you shared elsewhere.

Technical information needed to run the website

Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, receives technical request information when you load the website and its assets. This can include your IP address, request time, requested URL, browser or user-agent information, referring page where provided, response status and security-related information. We and our provider may process this information to serve pages, diagnose failures, prevent abuse and protect the service. Website infrastructure is separate from local creative processing: technical requests do not mean that your imported project files are uploaded.

The free release does not enable advertising scripts, Google Analytics, Plausible or third-party chat widgets. It does not set marketing-attribution cookies. Essential browser storage may remember your language, appearance and project choices; session cookies may be used if you access an account or administrative session. These are not needed to create a free video. If measurement or advertising is added later, we will describe the change and request consent where required before loading non-essential technologies.

When you contact us

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever message, attachments or diagnostic details you choose to send. We use this information to respond, investigate the issue, handle privacy or rights requests, and maintain relevant support or security records. Email is handled through the mailbox provider for the address above. Please avoid sending sensitive source material, passwords or unrelated personal information. If a project example is needed, consider using a copy with private content removed.

Sharing, retention and international processing

We do not sell your personal information or share it for targeted advertising. We use service providers for website hosting, security and email delivery. They process relevant information for those services. We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with a valid legal requirement, address abuse or protect legal rights.

Local project retention is controlled by your browser as described above. Technical logs are subject to the hosting provider's applicable settings and retention practices. We retain support correspondence for as long as needed to resolve the request and maintain necessary operational or legal records; we do not promise a fixed retention period that applies to every type of record. We cannot delete provider records outside our control, but will assist with relevant requests where we can.

Our providers may process technical or email information in countries other than your own. They apply their relevant data-protection arrangements. This does not change the browser-local processing of your creative files in the free editor. You can read more about hosting data in Cloudflare's privacy policy.

Your choices and privacy rights

You control which files to open, whether to save locally and whether to contact us. Depending on your location and the applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of personal information we hold, object to or restrict processing, withdraw consent where processing relies on it, or complain to your local data-protection authority.

Send a request to yzshi123@gmail.com. Explain what you are requesting without including unnecessary sensitive information. We may ask for proportionate information to verify your request. We will respond as required by applicable law. We do not have access to browser-local projects, so those must be managed on your device.

Children, security and changes

The service is intended for people aged 13 and above, or the higher minimum age required where they live. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below that age. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided personal information can contact us to request review and deletion where applicable.

We use HTTPS and access controls to help protect information handled by the website, but no website, device or email service is completely secure. Protect your device, local backups and any account credentials you use.

We may revise this policy as the service changes. The date above identifies the latest version. Material changes will be communicated on the website or by another suitable method where required. Questions can always be sent to yzshi123@gmail.com.
