Privacy Policy

1. Scope & Framework

ClipKaro is committed to protecting creator privacy. This policy is formulated in compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (India) and international privacy norms.

2. Guest-First Data Minimization

ClipKaro does not require sign-up or personal identity verification for free usage. Ephemeral guest sessions are tracked through a randomized UUID stored in an HTTP-only browser cookie (clipkaro_guest_session). IP addresses are salted and hashed for abuse prevention and retained only for 30 days.

3. Automated Data Retention & Erasure

• Temporary Source Media: Purged automatically within 24 hours of successful job completion.
• Unfinished Uploads: Removed after 6 hours.
• Guest Clips: Maintained for 7 days in private cloud storage, after which all media files, thumbnails, and transcripts are permanently deleted.
• Immediate Deletion: You can purge your job and associated assets immediately via the "Erase this job" button in the Studio.

4. Artificial Intelligence Processing

Audio is transcribed via secure local worker processes (faster-whisper). Only text transcript excerpts are transmitted to the Google Gemini API for highlight scoring. We configure enterprise API endpoints to prevent customer data from being used to train third-party foundation models.

5. Grievance Officer (India)

In accordance with the DPDP Act, 2023, you may direct privacy questions or requests for data erasure to:
