Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 18, 2026

1. Introduction

BCut ("we", "our", or "us") is a local-first desktop application for macOS that automatically detects and removes silences, filler words, and repeated takes from video recordings. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect in connection with the BCut website (bcut.app) and the application itself, and how we use it.

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal, anonymous data only from the BCut website:

• Page analytics (via Vercel Insights): page views, referrer, country-level location, browser type, and device type. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you individually.

We do not collect:

• Names, email addresses, or any account information (no sign-up required to use BCut)
• Crash reports or telemetry from the application
• Usage statistics or feature analytics from the app

3. How Your Video Data is Processed

All video processing — including audio extraction, local AI transcription, silence detection, and FCPXML export — happens entirely on your machine. Your video files, audio, and transcripts are never transmitted to BCut servers or any third party.

4. Cookies & Tracking

The BCut website uses Vercel Insights for analytics. Vercel Insights does not use cookies and does not track you across other websites. No advertising or third-party tracking scripts are present on this site.

5. Third-Party Services

The BCut website and purchase flow interact with the following third parties:

• Vercel — website hosting and anonymous analytics. See Vercel's Privacy Policy.
• Polar — payment processing for BCut Pro purchases. When you complete a purchase, you interact directly with Polar's checkout. See Polar's Privacy Policy for how they handle payment and billing data.

BCut does not receive or store your payment card details.

6. Data Retention

Because we collect no personal data, there is nothing to retain or delete. Aggregated, anonymous website analytics are retained by Vercel per their own policy.

7. Children's Privacy

BCut is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at hello@bcut.app.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when we do. Continued use of BCut after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
