What we collect and why

Last updated 18 September 2026

Who we are

YapCuts is an auto-editor for talking head videos, run by Peter Fogden. You can reach us at support@yapcuts.co.

What we collect

Account details. Your email address and, if you sign in with Google, the name and profile picture Google shares with us. We use these to create and secure your account.
Your videos. The footage you upload, the transcript we make from it, the cuts and captions you choose, and the rendered result. This is the product working; we do not use your videos for anything else.
Billing. Payments are handled by Whop. We receive confirmation of your plan and the email you paid with. We never see your card details.
Usage. Minutes of footage processed, so we can meter your plan, and basic error logs so we can fix problems.
Site analytics. The marketing site uses the Whop pixel to attribute sign-ups to the ad or page that brought you here.

Who else touches your data

To process a video we send its audio to ElevenLabs for transcription and the transcript to Anthropic to spot retakes. Files are stored with Supabase, our servers run on Fly.io, and payments run through Whop. Each of these processes data only to provide their service to us.

How long we keep it

Your videos and renders stay in your account until you delete the project or your account. Deleting a project removes its files from storage. If you cancel, your account and its content are deleted 90 days after the plan ends unless you ask sooner.

Your rights

You can export or delete your data at any time by emailing support@yapcuts.co. We reply within a few days. If you are in the UK or EU you also have the right to complain to your data protection authority.

Cookies

The app uses a session cookie and local storage to keep you signed in. The marketing site uses the Whop pixel for attribution. We do not run advertising cookies of our own.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will email account holders before it takes effect.
