Heads up. This page is a launch-window stub. The Privacy and Terms below describe ClipMix's actual data practices and usage rules in plain language, but a full legal review is scheduled before public launch and full rollout to AppSumo / Product Hunt. If you have a specific legal question right now — especially around a commercial use case, paid-clipper program, or data residency — email [email protected] and we'll answer in writing.
Privacy {#privacy}
What ClipMix collects {#privacy-collects}
- Free tier (no account): No personal information is collected. Mixes are encoded into the URL itself (the
#...hash onclipmix.video/m/<slug>), which never leaves your browser as a server request. We don't store mixes, identifiers, or analytics linked to anonymous use. - Pro tier (signed-in account): Email address (via Clerk), payment information (handled by Stripe — we never see card numbers), and your saved mixes (up to 50, stored against your account). Optional: YouTube channel ownership verification via OAuth, used only to gate the Pro+Downloads MP4 export feature.
- Telemetry: Standard, anonymized request logs (IP address, user-agent, response status) for operational debugging and abuse prevention. No third-party analytics scripts on the marketing pages or studio. No advertising cookies.
What ClipMix does not do {#privacy-does-not}
- No video re-hosting. Every clip plays via YouTube's official IFrame Player, streamed directly from YouTube. We never download, re-encode, or store video files.
- No selling of user data. ClipMix doesn't sell, rent, or share account information with third parties beyond the operational vendors required to run the service (Clerk for auth, Stripe for billing, Railway for infrastructure, Postgres for the saved-mixes database).
- No creator-side scraping. ClipMix doesn't crawl, scrape, or maintain a database of YouTube videos. The only YouTube data we touch is whatever URL you paste into the studio at the moment you paste it.
Your rights {#privacy-rights}
Pro account holders can export or delete their account and all associated saved mixes at any time by emailing [email protected]. We respond to deletion requests within 7 days.
Free-tier users have nothing to delete — the mix lives in the share URL itself, and we never had a copy.
Terms {#terms}
What ClipMix is for {#terms-permitted}
ClipMix is a tool for sharing curated moments from publicly-available YouTube videos in a workflow that gives the original creator full view-count and analytics credit. Permitted uses include personal sharing, editorial commentary, podcast/highlight clipping, and creator-side promotion of your own content.
What ClipMix is not for {#terms-prohibited}
- No clipping content the original creator has disabled embedding for. If embedding is disabled on a YouTube video, the IFrame Player can't load it — ClipMix can't override that, and you shouldn't try to work around it.
- No commercial re-distribution that bypasses YouTube's monetization. ClipMix exists to redirect viewers to the original embed, with attribution; using it to strip out ads or undermine the source channel's monetization is exactly the abuse pattern that gets tools like this killed.
- No automated scraping or bulk creation of mixes for resale, training data, or aggregation services without prior written permission.
We reserve the right to revoke access (or de-publish specific share URLs) for accounts found to be violating these constraints. The remediation is always proportional and we'll explain in writing before taking action where practical.
Liability {#terms-liability}
ClipMix is provided "as is." We do our best to keep the service running and the share URLs working, but we can't guarantee that YouTube's IFrame Player API will continue to behave the same way forever (the deprecation that created the need for ClipMix is itself a reminder of how fast platform features can change). If a share URL stops working because of an upstream YouTube change, we'll do our best to migrate it; we can't guarantee we'll always succeed.
Pro Lifetime purchases include a 14-day refund window, no questions asked. After that, refunds are handled case-by-case via [email protected].
Changes {#terms-changes}
When this page changes materially, we'll note the date of the most recent revision at the bottom and (for Pro account holders) send a one-line email summary. We won't change pricing on existing Pro Annual subscriptions mid-cycle or on Pro Lifetime accounts ever.
