Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how clip-bridge ("clip-bridge," "we," "us"), operated by Shadow Vortex LLC, collects, uses, stores, and deletes information when you use our website and services at clip-bridge.com (the "Service"). clip-bridge helps you create short-form video ads and, with your explicit authorization, publish them to your own connected social media accounts.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only what we need to provide the Service:

• Account information: your email address and, if you sign in with a third-party provider, your name and profile image.
• Content you provide: product links, product images, uploaded media, text prompts, captions, and any other material you submit to generate or schedule a video.
• Connected social accounts: when you choose to connect a social media account, we receive and store an access token (and where applicable a refresh token) provided by that platform, along with your public account identifier and handle on that platform.
• Payment information: purchases are processed by Stripe. We do not receive or store your full card number; we store only a customer reference and the status of your credit purchases.
• Usage data: basic technical logs (such as IP address, browser type, and actions taken in the app) used to operate, secure, and improve the Service.

2. How We Use Information

• To generate the videos you request, including sending your prompts and product media to third-party AI generation providers solely to produce your video.
• To publish or schedule content to the social media accounts you have explicitly connected and authorized, at your direction.
• To process credit purchases and maintain your credit balance.
• To provide support, secure the Service, prevent abuse, and comply with law.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use the data obtained from connected social platforms for advertising, profiling, or any purpose other than providing the features you request.

3. Connected Social Media Accounts

Connecting a social account is always optional and initiated by you. When you connect an account through a platform's official authorization (OAuth) flow, you grant clip-bridge permission to publish content on your behalf to that account. We use the access token only to perform the publishing and scheduling actions you request.

• You can disconnect any social account at any time from your clip-bridge dashboard. Disconnecting immediately revokes our stored token and stops all future posting to that account.
• You may also revoke clip-bridge's access directly from the settings page of the relevant platform.
• Our use and transfer of information received from platform APIs adheres to each platform's developer and limited-use requirements, including the X Developer Agreement and Policy, the TikTok Developer Terms, and the Meta Platform Terms. We request the minimum permissions necessary to provide posting and scheduling.

4. AI Generation Providers

To create your videos, we send the content you provide (such as product images, prompts, and captions) to third-party AI model providers that perform the generation. These providers process this content only to return your generated video and operate under their own terms. We do not send your social access tokens to AI providers.

5. Data Sharing

We share information only with service providers that help us operate the Service, and only as needed:

• Hosting and database (for example, our infrastructure and Supabase) to store your account, content, and credit balance.
• Payment processing (Stripe) to handle purchases.
• AI generation providers to produce your videos, as described above.
• The social platforms you connect, to publish the content you direct us to post.

We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users and the Service.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. When you delete your account, we delete your generated videos, uploaded content, and stored social access tokens, and we revoke our access to your connected accounts. Some limited records (such as transaction records required for tax, accounting, or fraud-prevention purposes) may be retained for the period required by law. You may request deletion of your data at any time by emailing hello@clip-bridge.com.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, and to opt out of certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@clip-bridge.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

8. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including encrypted transport and restricted access to stored tokens. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your data and limit what we collect.

9. Children

The Service is not directed to anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a minor has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. We will revise the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you by email. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
