Effective Date: September 17, 2025

Welcome to VidsTrim ("we," "us," "our"). Your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our online YouTube video cutter service (the "Service").

1. The Core Principle: We Collect as Little as Possible

Our goal is to provide a useful service without collecting your personal data. VidsTrim is designed to be simple, anonymous, and secure.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

• No Personal Information: We do not require you to create an account or provide any personally identifiable information (PII) like your name, email address, or phone number to use our Service.
• No Video Storage: The YouTube videos you process are handled ephemerally. We do **not** save, store, or log any of the video or audio content you trim or download. The entire process is automated, and the files are processed in-memory or in temporary storage that is immediately discarded after your session ends.
• No Tracking Cookies: We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.

3. Information We Do Collect (and Why)

To make the Service work and to improve it, we need to collect a minimal amount of non-personal information:

• YouTube URL: You provide us with a YouTube URL. We use this URL solely to fetch the requested video for you to trim. We do not store these URLs or associate them with any user.
• Server Log Data: Like most websites, our servers automatically collect standard log information. This may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the time and date of your request. This data is used for technical purposes such as monitoring server performance, diagnosing issues, and protecting the service from abuse. This information is not linked to any personal identifiers.
• Anonymous Analytics: We may collect anonymous usage data to understand how people use VidsTrim. This could include information like which features are most popular or how long processing takes. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you. It helps us make the service better for everyone.

4. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we handle. Our website uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption to protect the data transmitted between your browser and our server. Since we do not store your personal information or videos, the risk of a data breach affecting your personal data is virtually eliminated.

5. Third-Party Services

Our service interacts with YouTube. By pasting a YouTube link into our tool, you are using content from their platform. Your use of our service is also subject to YouTube's Terms of Service and Google's Privacy Policy.

6. Children's Privacy

VidsTrim is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed.
