Privacy Policy
Overview
Clip-Skip is a free Chrome extension that compacts YouTube videos using AI. There are no paid plans. We collect minimal data and give you full control over your privacy.
Data Controller
Clip-Skip acts as the data controller for any personal data processed through the service. Contact: [email protected].
Data We Collect
Account data (Free Members only): Email for sign-in. Video data: URLs, AI-identified chapters with timestamps, duration. Local only: Your API key (if you bring your own AI key) is encrypted and stored locally in your browser. It never touches our servers.
Direct AI Data Routing
When you process a video using your own API key, video transcripts are sent directly from your browser to your selected AI provider (such as Google, Anthropic, or OpenAI). Transcripts do not pass through or get stored on Clip-Skip servers. Your API key is encrypted and stored locally in your browser.
Infrastructure & Diagnostics
Hosting and edge delivery run on Cloudflare; accounts and the Community Library database run on Supabase. For operational troubleshooting we keep error and app-health logs (account ID, coarse region, and error events — no IP addresses, no transcripts, no API keys).
Community Library
Videos processed with your own key may be shared to the Community Library anonymously. Your identity is never shown. If you delete your account, your personal records (email, account ID) are permanently deleted, and any library metadata you contributed is decoupled from your identity and anonymized so it can no longer be linked back to you. Opening a shared link does not require an account. We look at aggregate traffic to see that sharing works.
Advertising & Tracking
We do not run third-party ads or sell data. Clip-Skip is free — we do not process payments or collect payment information.
Your Rights
You can request access, correction, deletion, or export of your data. Contact [email protected]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
