Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026
Your media stays local
The core principle of CinemaDigest is that the video files you process never leave your computer. The desktop app runs transcription, scene detection, narration, soundtrack generation, and rendering locally. We do not upload, store, or receive your source films, and we cannot access them.
What we do collect
- Account data — email address and a password hash (PBKDF2), stored to let you sign in, verify your email, and reset your password.
- Subscription data — your plan, status, and the recaps you plan each month, so we can meter usage and enforce your plan limits.
- Planning request text — when you use the recap planner, the transcript text and the generated plan are processed by our planning service to produce your recap. This is text only, not your media file.
- Device/session data — a device id and session records so we can secure your account and let you manage “sign out everywhere.”
- Basic request metadata — IP address and user-agent, used for abuse prevention and to attribute sessions.
What we do not collect
- Your source video or audio files — ever.
- Your captions, rendered recaps, or output files, unless you choose to share them.
- Your credit card details — payments are handled by Stripe.
Payments
Subscriptions are billed through Stripe. Payment details are processed by Stripe and are subject to Stripe’s privacy policy. We receive only the confirmation that your subscription is active.
Third parties
- Cloudflare — hosts our service and serves our web app. Cloudflare’s edge processes standard request metadata.
- Stripe — payment processing.
- LLM providers — process planning request text to produce your recap plan (Workers AI / Gemini).
