Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 14, 2026
This policy explains how Rig Clips Studio ("RigClips", "we") handles information in connection with rigclips.com and the RigClips clipping service (the "Service"). The Service is operated from Idaho, United States.
What the Service does
RigClips watches publicly available live streams and their public chat, identifies highlight moments, edits short vertical videos, and publishes them to social media accounts that we own and operate, or that a creator has authorized us to manage.
Information we collect
- Public stream data: public live video, public chat messages and public channel information (such as channel name, title and viewer counts) from platforms like Twitch, used only to find and create clips. We do not store chat usernames.
- Connected account data: when an account owner connects a YouTube, Instagram or TikTok account through that platform's official login, we receive access tokens and basic account information (such as account ID and display name) needed to upload videos and read post performance for that account.
- Contact information: if you email us, we keep your message and email address to reply.
How we use information
- To create, caption and publish clips to connected accounts.
- To measure how published clips perform so we can improve the Service.
- To communicate with creators and partners.
We do not sell personal information and do not use it for advertising profiles.
Service providers
We use trusted providers to run the Service, including cloud hosting (DigitalOcean), an AI model provider used to transcribe and rate clips (Anthropic), and the platforms' own official APIs (Google/YouTube, Meta/Instagram, TikTok, Twitch, Telegram). They process data only to provide their services.
YouTube API Services
RigClips uses YouTube API Services. By using features that connect a YouTube account, you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service, and Google's handling of data is described in the Google Privacy Policy. You can revoke RigClips' access at any time from your Google security settings.
Retention and deletion
Raw recordings are kept for a few minutes in a rolling buffer and then deleted. Finished clip files are deleted from our servers within a few days. Access tokens are kept until access is revoked or the account is disconnected, and are then deleted. To request deletion of any data about you, email rigclipsstudio@gmail.com and we will respond within 30 days.
Security
Data is stored on access-restricted servers, and secrets such as access tokens are kept out of public view. No method of storage is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect information.
Children
The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
Changes
We may update this policy and will change the date above when we do.
