Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Klipr ("we," "our," or "us") is a desktop application that automatically detects viral moments in live streams and creates short-form video clips for upload to social media platforms. This Privacy Policy explains how Klipr collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use our software.

By installing or using Klipr, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

• Account credentials and API keys — including YouTube OAuth tokens and any API keys you configure within the application. These are stored locally on your device only and are never transmitted to Klipr's servers.
• Configuration settings — your preferences, streamer lists, threshold settings, and other bot configuration data. Stored locally in a configuration file on your device.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Stream audio and video — Klipr temporarily records segments of live streams you have configured it to monitor for the sole purpose of creating clips. These recordings are stored locally on your device. We do not transmit, store, or access this content on any remote server.
• Chat messages — Klipr reads public chat messages from Kick.com and Twitch.tv in real time solely to detect viewer engagement spikes. Individual chat messages are not stored, logged, or transmitted. Only aggregate scoring data is processed in memory.
• Clip metadata — titles, timestamps, and upload history are stored in a local history log on your device for your reference.

2.3 Information From Third-Party Services

• YouTube — When you connect your YouTube account, Klipr receives an OAuth access token to upload videos on your behalf. This token is stored locally. Klipr does not access any YouTube data beyond what is required to complete uploads.
• Groq API — When you enable automatic headline generation, the audio transcript of a clip is sent to Groq's API to generate a short title. No personally identifiable information is included. Groq's privacy policy governs how they handle this data.

3. How We Use Your Information

Klipr uses the information described above solely for the following purposes:

• To detect viral moments in streams you have configured the application to monitor
• To cut, process, and save video clips to your local device
• To upload clips to your connected YouTube or TikTok account when you have enabled this feature
• To generate AI-powered headlines for your clips when you have enabled this feature
• To maintain a local log of clips and uploads for your personal reference

We do not:

• Sell, rent, or share your information with any third parties for marketing purposes
• Access, view, or store your video clips on our servers
• Access your YouTube channel data beyond uploading videos
• Use your data to train AI models
• Transmit your configuration or credentials to any Klipr server

4. YouTube API Services

Klipr uses the YouTube API Services to upload clips to your YouTube channel. By using this feature, you also agree to YouTube's Terms of Service and Google's Privacy Policy.

Klipr's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Revoking YouTube Access

You can revoke Klipr's access to your YouTube account at any time by:

1. Visiting myaccount.google.com/permissions
2. Finding "Klipr" in the list of connected apps
3. Clicking "Remove Access"

You may also revoke access locally by deleting the token.json file in your Klipr installation directory.

5. Data Storage and Security

5.1 Local Storage

All data collected and processed by Klipr is stored exclusively on your local device. This includes:

• Your configuration file (config.py)
• YouTube OAuth token (token.json)
• TikTok authentication token (tiktok_token.json)
• Video clips and processed files (/clips folder)
• Upload history (upload_history.json)

You are responsible for the security of your local device. We recommend keeping your device secured and not sharing your Klipr installation directory with others.

5.2 Third-Party API Transmission

The only data that leaves your device is:

• Video files sent to YouTube when you upload a clip (via YouTube API)
• Video files sent to TikTok when you upload a clip (via TikTok API)
• Clip audio transcripts sent to Groq's API for headline generation (when enabled)
• License verification requests sent to our licensing server to validate your Klipr license key

5.3 License Verification

Klipr verifies your license key upon startup. This request includes your license key and is transmitted to our licensing provider (Gumroad) to confirm validity. No other personal data is included in this request.

6. Third-Party Services

If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation including the right to data portability and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

9. Data Retention

Since all data is stored locally on your device, you control retention entirely. You may delete your clips, configuration, tokens, and history at any time by removing the relevant files from your Klipr installation directory.

Any data held by us (license records) is retained for as long as your license is active and for a reasonable period thereafter for support and accounting purposes.
