StitchCutPrivacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Future Apps Studio ("we", "us") handles information in the StitchCut – Video Merger app (the "App") for iPhone, iPad and Android. By using the App you agree to this policy.
Summary
- Your videos, photos and music never leave your device. All editing and exporting happens on your device.
- No account, sign-up or personal details are needed to use the App.
- We have no servers, and we do not collect, store or sell your personal information.
- The App shows ads from Google AdMob. Google may collect device and usage data to deliver and measure ads, as described below.
1. Your media and projects
The videos, photos and audio files you choose are processed only on your device. On iPhone and iPad, copies of the items you pick are kept inside the App's private storage so your drafts keep working. On Android, the App keeps access to the items you picked for the same reason.
Your projects (clip order, trims, text, filters and other edits) and your settings, such as the default export resolution, are saved locally on your device. Finished videos are saved to your device's photo gallery. None of this is uploaded or sent to us, and the App's stored data is deleted when you uninstall the App. Videos you have already exported stay in your gallery until you delete them.
2. Permissions
- Photos and videos — the App uses the system photo picker, which gives it only the items you select. It does not need access to your whole library.
- Add to Photos (iPhone and iPad) — used only to save your exported video to the Photos app. The App cannot read your library with this permission.
- Storage (Android 9 and older only) — used only to save your exported video to the gallery.
- Files — music is chosen with the system file picker, which gives the App only the file you select.
- Internet access — used only to load ads and the ad consent form. All App features work offline.
- Tracking (iPhone and iPad only) — the App may ask for permission to use your device's advertising identifier for personalized ads. Saying no does not limit any App feature.
The App does not use your camera, microphone, contacts or location.
3. Third-party services
The App uses the following third-party services, which may collect information according to their own privacy policies. The App does not include any analytics or crash-reporting service.
Google AdMob (advertising)
AdMob shows banner, full-screen and optional rewarded ads (for example, to remove the watermark). To deliver, personalize (where permitted) and measure ads, and to prevent fraud, AdMob may collect:
- Device identifiers such as the advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, only if you allow tracking; Advertising ID on Android)
- IP address and coarse location derived from it
- Device and app information (model, operating system, language, app version)
- Ad interactions (ads shown, taps) and diagnostic data such as crash and performance data of the ads SDK
AdMob does not receive your videos, photos, music or projects. Learn more in Google's Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Google User Messaging Platform (consent)
If you are in the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, or in a US state with applicable privacy laws, the App uses Google's consent form to ask how your data may be used for ads. Your choice is stored on your device and shared with Google's ad services. On iPhone and iPad, this form also leads to Apple's tracking permission prompt.
4. How information is used
Information collected by the services above is used to show and measure ads, keep the App free, and prevent fraud and abuse. We do not use it to identify you personally, and we do not sell personal information.
5. Your choices
| What | How |
|---|---|

6. Data retention
We do not keep any of your data on servers. Data stored on your device stays there until you delete it or uninstall the App. Data collected by third-party services is kept according to their policies.
7. Children
The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, contact us and we will help remove it.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in Europe or the CCPA in California), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal information, and to object to its processing. Because we do not hold personal information ourselves, most requests are best handled through the choices above or directly with Google. You can also contact us and we will help.
9. Security
Your media and projects stay in your device's storage and are protected by your device's operating system. Third-party services transmit data using encrypted connections.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
