KlipsPrivacy PolicyLaunchMark logo

Last updated: October 30, 2026

Klips ("the app") is made by an independent developer in Canada ("the developer"). This policy explains what the app keeps, what leaves your device, and who handles it. Klips has no ads, does not track you across apps or websites, and never sells your information.

Without an Account

You can use Klips without signing in to anything. In that case your Klips, folders and folder groups, your watch history and your stats are stored on your device. None of it is sent to the developer.

You can choose to turn on iCloud in Sync & Backup. Your Klips, folders and folder groups then sync through your own private iCloud account, so they match on your devices. Backups you make are saved as files in your iCloud Drive. This storage is Apple's, governed by Apple's privacy policy (https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/), and the developer cannot read it. Your watch history and stats never sync and stay on the device where they were made.

Anonymous Usage Data

To learn which features get used, Klips sends one small report a week. It contains counts of how often features were used, the size of your library in broad ranges (for example, 50 to 100 Klips, never the exact number or the Klips themselves), which settings you have chosen, such as theme and sort order, the app version, the major system version, the device model, and whether it is an iPhone, iPad or Mac.

Each weekly report carries a new random ID, made only to stop the same report being counted twice. It is never reused and cannot connect one week's report to the next, or a report to you. Reports never contain Klip titles, video links, folder names, your email or your account. The service that receives them uses your IP address only to limit how often a device can send, and keeps a scrambled form of it for one hour. The address itself is never stored.

You can turn this off at any time in Settings, under Privacy. Once it is off, no new usage data is collected.

Klips Plus

Klips Plus is an optional subscription with an online account. If you sign up, the following is stored with your account:

  • Your sign-in details: your email address (an Apple private relay address if you chose Hide My Email), the identifier Apple provides for Sign in with Apple, and which sign-in methods you use.
  • Your library: Klip titles, YouTube video IDs and links, start and end times, Super Klip segments, folders and folder groups.
  • Your stats: plays, loops, watch time and shares for each Klip, and monthly totals. Monthly totals keep a copy of a Klip's title and video ID, so your yearly figures survive deleting a Klip.
  • Your devices: an ID for each install of Klips you sign in on, its kind (iPhone, iPad or Mac), and when it was first and last seen.
  • Your subscription: whether it is active, and the purchase history Apple shares for it.

This is used only to run your account: to show your library on each device you sign in to, add up your stats, and check your subscription. It is not used for advertising and is not shared with anyone except the services that run Klips Plus, listed below.

How Long Account Data Is Kept

  • Klips, folders and groups you delete are kept for 30 days, then removed for good.
  • When you delete your account in the app, your library, stats, devices and sign-in methods are removed, and Sign in with Apple is disconnected.
  • If your subscription ends and you don't subscribe again, your account is deleted 90 days after it ended. The date is shown in the app. No email is sent. Accounts that never had a subscription are not deleted this way.
  • After an account is deleted, only its account ID and the dates its subscription ended and the account was deleted are kept, so a returning purchase can be confirmed as belonging to it. Nothing else remains.
  • Your purchase record at RevenueCat (below) is not deleted automatically. It can be deleted on request through the support page.
  • The account database is copied nightly into an encrypted backup, kept for 14 days and then deleted, so a deleted account can remain in a backup for up to 14 days.

Sharing Klips

When you share a Klip, folder or selection of Klips, the app uploads what the share link needs: each Klip's title, a reference to its video, its start and end times (and segments for a Super Klip), the video's platform, and, for a folder, the folder or collection name. This happens when you begin a share, even if you then close the share sheet without sending the link. Nothing else from your library is uploaded.

Shared content is stored under a random, unguessable link with no account, device or identity attached, and is deleted 90 days after it was made. Anyone with the link can open it until then, so avoid putting anything private in the title of a Klip you share. To remove a share sooner, send the link through the support page.

YouTube

Klips plays videos through YouTube's embedded player, so the video loads directly from YouTube and your use of it is covered by Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy). When you import a YouTube Clip link, your device reads that Clip's public page to find its start and end. The developer does not control or receive anything YouTube collects.

Services That Handle Data

These services may store data outside Canada, including in the United States.

This Website

This website uses Vercel Web Analytics to count page visits. It uses no cookies and does not identify you.

Your Choices

  • See and keep your data: in Klips Plus, Download My Klips saves your whole library and stats as a file.
  • Delete your data: delete Klips in the app, or delete your whole account under Manage Account. Without an account, deleting the app removes what it stored on your device.
  • Correct your data: edit Klips in the app. To change the email on your account, use the support page.
  • Stop usage data: turn it off in Settings, under Privacy.

For anything else about your information, or to make a request under Canada's privacy law (PIPEDA), contact the developer through the support page.

Children's Privacy

Klips Plus accounts are not intended for children under 13, and the developer does not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has made an account, contact the developer through the support page and it will be deleted.

Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated from time to time. Changes are posted on this page with a new date at the top.
