Privacy

Your account. An email address, when you created the account, and when you last signed in. No name, no password — signing in uses a one-time code sent to that address.

Your media. Reference videos you upload or import, clips you upload, thumbnails generated from them, and the videos EditDNA renders for you.

Your projects. The scene timings measured from a reference, which clip you assigned to which scene, and any layout settings you confirmed.

Billing. If you subscribe, Stripe holds your payment details — we never see a card number. We store your Stripe customer and subscription identifiers, your plan, and its status.

Operational logs. Request identifiers, timings, and error codes. Logs deliberately exclude your email address, your media URLs, filenames, file paths, and any session or sign-in token.

An abuse counter. When an account is created, and when an analysis is run without an account, we store a one-way, keyed hash of the network address it came from. It exists to stop automated sign-ups farming free renders, and it is used for nothing else. The address itself is never written down — only the hash, which cannot be turned back into an address and is not used to identify or track you. For an IPv6 address we hash only the network prefix, not the part that identifies a device. Each entry is deleted after 24 hours, and rotating our signing key retires every entry at once.

• We do not train machine-learning models on your footage.
• We do not sell or rent your personal information.
• We do not use your videos to advertise to you or anyone else.
• We do not keep the audio, captions, branding, or footage from a reference video. Analysis measures structure — cut timing, framing — and the measurements are numbers, not media.

Storage costs money and unused media is a liability, so nothing is kept longer than the work requires.

Frames extracted during analysis

Deleted the moment analysis ends, success or failure

A sign-in code

Expires after 10 minutes and can be used once

A signed-in session

30 days, then you sign in again

An abuse counter entry

24 hours, then deleted

Download anything you want to keep. An export is not long-term storage and is not meant to be.

Nothing is public. Media is served through links that are signed and expire after 15 minutes, and a link is only issued after we have checked that the account asking owns the project. Guessing a project’s identifier gets you nothing — the request is refused the same way a request for something that does not exist is refused, so an outsider cannot even learn whether a project exists.

Only the services needed to run EditDNA, and only what each one needs:

• Our hosting and storage provider — holds your media so it survives a restart.
• Stripe — payment processing, if you subscribe. They hold your payment details; we do not.
• Our email provider — delivers your sign-in code, and receives your address in order to do so.

None of them may use your data for their own purposes.

You can delete a project, a clip, an export, or your whole account at any time. See deleting your data for what each one removes and how long the purge takes.

To ask what we hold about you, or to have it corrected, contact us through support.

If this policy changes in a way that affects what we collect or how long we keep it, we will say so on this page and date it. EditDNA is in controlled beta, so limits and retention windows may change as the product does — but they will always match what the system actually does.
