Xclip privacy policy

Your media and editing work stay on-device

This Privacy Policy applies to Xclip: Video Editor from Northlight Studio. Other Northlight Studio apps and games have their own policies.

Xclip stores imported videos, photos, audio, drafts, editing work and preferences locally on your iPhone or iPad. Xclip has no app accounts or developer-operated media uploads. Northlight Studio does not operate a cloud library or draft-sync service.

Xclip has no advertising or tracking. This does not mean that Apple, a sharing destination or an email provider processes no information when you choose to use those services.

Captions and editing automation run locally

Caption recognition and editing automation run on your device. Xclip does not upload your footage or recordings to Northlight Studio for these operations.

Downloading supported language models may require an internet connection. Availability depends on your device, system version and supported languages. Services delivering model downloads may process ordinary network request information under their own policies.

Permissions follow the tools you choose

Xclip uses system permissions for importing, recording, recognizing speech and saving your work. You can review or change granted access in your device’s Settings. Declining a permission may prevent the related tool from working.

• Selected photo and video import: choose the media to import through Apple’s picker. Using the picker does not give Xclip unrestricted access to your Photos library.
• Add-only Photos access: allow Xclip to save an export to Photos. This permission adds media without granting permission to read your entire library.
• Microphone access: allow Xclip to record your voice when you choose the voice-recording tool.
• Speech-recognition access: allow caption recognition where the system requires it. Xclip’s recognition runs on-device.

Apple handles purchases and subscriptions

Apple handles purchases, subscriptions and payment processing. Xclip uses Apple-verified purchase information, such as the product and entitlement status, to determine Xclip Pro access and restore eligible purchases.

Northlight Studio does not receive your payment-card details. Apple manages its purchase records and processes information under its own privacy policy. Restoring a purchase restores eligible access, not deleted local drafts or media.

Apple’s Privacy Policy

You choose when to export, share or back up

Exporting a video, sharing media and creating an editable backup are actions you initiate. A destination you choose, such as Photos, Files, a cloud drive or another app, handles the resulting copy under its own settings and policies.

Editable backups are not encrypted by Xclip. They may contain source media and editing work. Share them carefully, choose recipients you trust and avoid public links when the content is private.

Apple’s device backups may also include local Xclip data, depending on your settings. Photos, Files or cloud-storage services may keep copies you save there. These are separate from Northlight Studio, which does not hold a server copy of your projects.

Deleting local data and managing copies

Deleting a draft in Xclip removes that draft’s local editing work. It does not automatically erase your original source media, exports, shared files or backups stored elsewhere.

Deleting the app removes its local app data. Offloading the app through device Settings can retain documents and data for reinstallation. Keep an editable backup before deleting the app if you want to retain your projects.

Separate backups and exported copies may remain until you remove them through the relevant device, storage provider or recipient. Northlight Studio cannot recover deleted local drafts or delete copies held by other services.

Support correspondence and website visits

If you contact [email protected], Northlight Studio receives your email address, message and any information or attachments you voluntarily send. We use correspondence to respond and manage your support request, not for advertising. Xclip does not automatically send us your footage or drafts.

Your email provider and our Gmail service process correspondence under their own policies and may process it outside your country. We keep messages as needed for support and applicable legal obligations. Contact us about access, correction or deletion of information we hold, where applicable.

Opening these pages uses your browser and internet connection. Website hosting providers may process ordinary request information to deliver and secure the site. Visiting the website does not give Northlight Studio access to your local projects.

Privacy choices and contact

You control system permissions, your local projects, sharing destinations and device backups. Use Apple’s or another provider’s controls for information that provider holds.

For Xclip privacy questions or requests concerning support correspondence, email [email protected] with “Xclip Privacy” in the subject. Applicable privacy rights are not limited by this policy. We will update this policy if Xclip’s data practices change.
