Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to NextClip. We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our AI-powered video editing services, including our integrations with third-party platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Facebook.

By using NextClip, you consent to the data practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Service.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information that you provide directly to us, such as when you create an account, upload videos, connect social media accounts, or contact our support team. This may include:

• Your name and email address
• Payment information (processed securely via third-party processors)
• Video content you upload for editing or clipping
• Your editing preferences, caption styles, and branding settings
• Device and browser information
• IP address and approximate location data

2a. Social Media Account Data

When you connect a social media account (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, or Facebook Page) to NextClip for the purpose of scheduling and publishing video content, we collect and store only the data necessary to provide that functionality, including:

• YouTube: We request access to view your YouTube account information (channel name, channel ID) and to upload and manage videos on your behalf via the YouTube Data API v3. We use the youtube.readonly scope to display your channel details and the youtube.upload scope to publish scheduled clips directly to your channel. We do not access, store, or share your YouTube watch history, subscriptions, comments, or any data beyond what is needed to upload and manage the videos you explicitly schedule through NextClip.
• Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook: We request only the minimum permissions required to publish video content to your connected accounts on your scheduled date and time. We do not access your followers, messages, contacts, or personal feed data beyond authentication tokens needed for posting.

OAuth tokens granted for social media integrations are stored securely and encrypted at rest. You may revoke access at any time from within NextClip or directly from the respective platform's app permissions settings.

2b. YouTube API Services

NextClip uses YouTube API Services. By connecting your YouTube account, you also agree to Google's Privacy Policy, available at https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can manage or revoke NextClip's access to your YouTube data at any time via the Google Security Settings page.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

We do not use your YouTube data, video content, or connected social media data to train AI models or for any purpose beyond the functionality you explicitly use within NextClip.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We may share your personal information only in the following limited circumstances:

• With third-party service providers who assist us in operating our service (e.g., cloud hosting, payment processing, analytics) under strict data processing agreements
