What The Yap Machine website collects, and what stays on your computer.
Your ordinary editing videos, transcripts, scripts, profile and file names stay on your computer. The editing, captions, speech recognition and cut-outs run there. We do not receive that raw editing footage through this website.
The only exception is content you deliberately submit through an invited beta testimonial form. Written feedback, external video links and any video you choose to upload are stored so the team can review them. Direct uploads use private cloud storage, not a public folder.
Optional services you choose, such as OpenAI for Word Looks or Google Drive for your own folders, receive only what you send to those services. Their own privacy policies apply.
We do not sell your personal information. Payment details are handled by the payment provider. We do not ask for your Claude password.
You can unsubscribe from marketing email at any time. Beta deadline and payment notices are transactional, not marketing. You can also ask for access, correction or deletion of your website, beta-submission or call-request information. Transactional records that we must keep for payment, fraud or legal reasons may be retained as required.
