Privacy Policy
Version v.20260520 · Published May 20, 2026 · Effective May 27, 2026
The Service operator ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") operates 'LoudClip' (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you use our website and SaaS-based services.
By using the Service, you consent to the data practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue your use of the Service immediately.
1. Information We Collect
We collect minimal and essential personal information required to facilitate account creation, management, and global customer support.
- Account Information (Mandatory): Email address, password, and nickname.
- Automatically Collected Information: IP address, browser type, operating system, access times, and cookies.
- Feature Usage Logs: Feature execution counters, the total number of registered videos, and license activation timestamps, used solely to determine refund eligibility. Video file contents are never collected.
- Payment Information: We do not collect or store your credit card numbers or billing addresses on our servers. All subscription-based payments (Lite Plan, Standard Plan) are collected and processed directly by our global Merchant of Record (MOR), Creem.
2. Video Data Storage Policy (OPFS Local Storage & Optional Cloud Storage)
- LoudClip does not upload, stream, host, or collect your video or subtitle files onto our servers by default. When a paid plan subscriber explicitly uses the Cloud Export feature, the selected ZIP and video files are stored in Cloudflare R2 object storage and are accessible only by that user. Cloud-exported files are subject to per-plan count limits (Lite Plan: up to 5 items; Standard Plan: up to 20 items). Video files exported to cloud storage must not exceed 500MB per file.
- All media files and learning progress data are stored strictly inside your browser's local sandbox via the OPFS (Origin Private File System). The Company has zero access or technical capability to retrieve your local learning files. This 500MB size limit also applies to all video files registered to OPFS local storage.
- Cloud-stored files can be deleted at any time from the My Videos screen. Upon account deletion, all cloud-stored files are permanently removed.
3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
For users in the EU/EEA, we process personal data under the following legal bases as defined in GDPR Article 6:
- Contract Performance (Art. 6(1)(b)): Account creation, subscription management, billing, and customer support.
- Legal Obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)): Retention of financial transaction records as required by applicable laws.
- Legitimate Interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): Fraud prevention, security log collection, and refund eligibility determination. Our legitimate interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): Cookie usage for functional preferences, where required.
4. Purpose of Processing Information
We use collected information for the following specific purposes:
- To create and maintain your account securely.
- To verify subscription access rights to the Lite Plan and Standard Plan.
- To respond to user inquiries and provide technical customer support.
- To monitor usage patterns for fraud prevention and refund eligibility determination.
5. Third-Party Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. However, we share data with the following processors under contractual data protection agreements (DPA):
- Creem (Merchant of Record): Recurring billing, global tax compliance, and fraud prevention. Charges will appear as Creem or CREEM.IO on your statement.
- Google (OAuth Provider): When you sign in with Google, Google processes your email address and basic profile information in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.
- Cloudflare (Cloud Object Storage): When you use the Cloud Export feature, your ZIP and video files are stored in Cloudflare R2 object storage. Cloudflare processes this data in accordance with Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
6. Cross-Border Data Transfer
Our service processors (Creem, Google, Cloudflare) may be located outside your country of residence, including in the United States. For transfers of personal data from the EU/EEA to third countries, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) adopted by the European Commission, or other adequacy mechanisms recognized under GDPR Chapter V. For transfers from Korea, we comply with the cross-border transfer requirements under Article 28-8 of the Personal Information Protection Act.
7. Automated Decision-Making

- Request human review of any automated refund decision.
- Express your point of view regarding the decision.
- Contest the decision by contacting us at [email protected].
8. Data Retention and Destruction
- Account data (email, nickname): Retained until account deletion.
- Feature usage logs (refund eligibility): Retained for the duration required to resolve potential disputes, generally up to 1 year after subscription end.
- Financial transaction records: Retained as required by applicable statutory obligations under local financial laws.
- Upon account deletion, personal profile data will be permanently purged from active systems without undue delay.
9. Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR)
- Our Service is restricted to users who are at least 14 years of age (or 16 in certain EU jurisdictions under GDPR, or 13 under US COPPA).
- We do not knowingly collect personal data from children below these thresholds. If we discover that an underage child has registered, the account will be deleted immediately.
