Privacy Policy
Last updated: 7 Oct 2026
1. Who we are and what this policy covers
Clippinit (clippinit.io) is a performance-reporting platform for clipping campaigns, operated by ClippinIt LLC, a Florida limited liability company, 190 Wilinda Court, Melbourne, Florida 32934, USA (“Clippinit”, “we”, “us”). This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, who sees it, how long we keep it, and the choices you have.
It applies to everyone who uses our website and app: clippers who connect their social media accounts, agency staff who manage campaigns, and campaign owners (clients) who review campaign results. For the personal information described here, we are the data controller. Questions can be sent to support@clippinit.io.
2. Information we collect
We collect only what we need to run the service. The categories are:
- Account information. Your name, email address, role (clipper, staff or campaign owner), and your password. We never store your password in readable form; it is stored only as a salted hash.
- Payout information (clippers). Payouts are processed by Stripe. We store your Stripe account ID and payout status. Stripe holds your card and bank details, and we do not see or store full card or bank account numbers.
- Connected social account data. Described in section 3.
- Usage and technical information. IP address, browser and device type, pages and features used, timestamps, and error logs. We use this to keep the service secure and working.
- Communications. Messages you send us and the transactional emails we send you, such as sign-in and account notices.
We do not collect government ID or tax forms through the service. We do not knowingly collect any sensitive categories of data (such as health, political or religious information).
3. Information from your connected social accounts
You can connect your own YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X accounts. Connecting is always your choice, and it happens through each platform's official sign-in (OAuth) screen, where you see exactly what you are allowing. Connecting an account is read-only: we never post, comment, message, follow or take any other action on your behalf.
Once you connect, we collect:
- Profile statistics: your username and display name, profile link, and counts such as followers, following and number of posts.
- Post and video metrics: for posts and videos on the connected account, performance figures such as views, reach, likes, comments and shares or reposts, and post titles, links and dates.
- Access tokens: the credentials the platform gives us so we can refresh these figures about every six hours. We store them encrypted and use them only for the purposes in this policy.
- Historical snapshots: we save these figures over time so you and your campaign team can see growth and trends.
We do not collect your social media passwords, private messages, or the content of your followers' accounts. When you connect an account, you expressly consent to us showing its statistics and metrics to agency staff and to the campaign owners you work with, as described in section 5. You can disconnect any account at any time from your Clippinit settings or from the platform's own app-permissions page, and we then delete the data we collected from that platform as described in section 7.
4. How we use your information
We use your information to:
- Create and secure your account and let you sign in.
- Show campaign and account performance to you, our agency staff, and the campaign owners you work with, for reporting and performance review.
- Administer payouts through Stripe and contact you about them.
- Send service emails, such as sign-in links, security alerts and policy updates.
- Detect fraud and abuse, fix errors, and keep the service running.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.
We do not sell your personal information, share it for advertising, use it for targeted ads, build profiles about your personal characteristics, or use data from your connected accounts to train artificial intelligence models.
Legal bases (EU/UK users). We process data to perform our contract with you (running your account and payouts), based on your consent for connecting social accounts (which you can withdraw at any time), for our legitimate interests in security and service improvement, and to meet legal obligations.
5. Who can see your information
Access depends on role:
- Agency staff can see your account details, connected account statistics, clip metrics and payout information, for the purposes in section 4.
- Campaign owners (clients) can see your name, email address, and the connected account statistics and clip metrics for campaigns you work on. They cannot see your payout or bank information.
- Other clippers cannot see your information.
- Service providers that host or process data for us can access it only as needed to provide their services (section 6).
- Legal and safety: we may disclose information when required by law or to protect people's rights and safety.
- Business transfers: if we are involved in a merger or sale, your information may transfer, and we will notify you first.
6. Service providers and third-party platforms
We use these providers to run Clippinit:
| Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Railway | Application hosting |
| Supabase | Database and authentication |
| Resend | Transactional email |
| Stripe | Payment processing for payouts |
These providers process data on our instructions and under their own privacy and security terms.
Social platforms. When you connect an account, the platform's own terms and privacy policy also apply:
- YouTube. Clippinit uses YouTube API Services, and our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. By connecting a YouTube channel you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service, and Google's privacy practices are described in the Google Privacy Policy. You can revoke our access at any time in your Google security settings.
- TikTok. TikTok's Privacy Policy applies. You can revoke access in the TikTok app under Settings and privacy, then Security and permissions, then Apps and services.
- Instagram and Facebook (Meta). Meta's Privacy Policy applies. You can remove our access in your Instagram or Facebook settings under Apps and websites or Business integrations.

7. How long we keep your information and how to delete it
| Data | How long we keep it |
|---|---|
| Data and tokens from a connected social account | Deleted within 24 hours after you disconnect the account, revoke access on the platform, or ask us to delete it, and within 24 hours of a deletion request from the platform |
| Account information (name, email, profile) | Deleted within 30 days after you ask us to delete your account |
| Payout and financial records | Kept only as long as needed to pay you and as required by tax, accounting and other laws, then deleted |
| Security and error logs | Kept for 30 days, then deleted |
You can disconnect an account or delete your Clippinit account from your settings, by following the steps on our Data Deletion page (clippinit.io/data-deletion), or by emailing support@clippinit.io. Deleted data is removed from our live systems within the periods above. Encrypted backups are overwritten within 30 days and are not used to restore deleted data. We may keep limited information after deletion where the law requires it or to resolve disputes.
8. Security
We protect your information with safeguards that include encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest, encryption of social account access tokens before they are stored, salted password hashing, role-based access limited to the people who need it, and monitoring of our systems. No system is completely secure. If a breach affecting your information occurs, we will notify you and the authorities as the law requires.
Our infrastructure providers maintain their own certified security controls. Railway (hosting) and Supabase (database) encrypt customer data at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS, and both hold SOC 2 Type II attestation. Resend (email) encrypts data at rest and in transit (TLS 1.3 or higher) and maintains SOC 2 compliance. Stripe (payments) is certified to PCI DSS Service Provider Level 1, and card and bank details are held by Stripe, not by us.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, export or restrict the use of your personal information, to object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. Email support@clippinit.io to exercise any right; we respond within one month (45 days for California requests, extendable as the law allows). We may need to verify your identity first.
California (CCPA/CPRA). You have the right to know, delete, correct and obtain a copy of your information. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information beyond what is needed to provide the service. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
EU/UK (GDPR). You may also complain to your local data protection authority.
