Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 July 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how YDV s.r.o. (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal data when you use RawClip (rawclip.online). We are committed to handling your data responsibly and in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Slovak data protection law.

If you have questions about this policy or your data, contact us at ydvsro@gmail.com .

2. What the service does

RawClip is an automated video editing service. You upload raw action camera footage (from cameras like GoPro, DJI, Insta360, Sony, and others), pay a flat fee, and receive an AI-generated highlight reel. The entire process is automated - no human watches or edits your footage during normal processing.

3. What data we collect

3.1 Account data

When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and password (stored only in hashed form). If you sign up or log in using Google OAuth, we also receive and store your Google account ID.

3.2 Payment data

All payment processing is handled by Stripe. We do not store your credit card number or full payment instrument details. We store only the Stripe customer ID, transaction ID, amount paid, payment status, and date of the transaction. Stripe processes your payment data as an independent data controller under its own privacy policy.

3.3 Video files

You upload raw video footage to our service. We also generate output files (your highlight reel in 4K and 1080p versions). Your raw footage may contain personal data belonging to you or to third parties, including faces, voices, license plates, GPS coordinates, and other location data embedded in video file metadata.

3.4 Technical and usage data

We automatically collect certain technical information when you use the service, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, timestamps, upload speed metrics, and processing job status and duration. This data is collected through server logs and application monitoring.

3.5 Cookies

We use only essential cookies required for the service to function: a session cookie (used by our application framework) and a CSRF token (used to protect against cross-site request forgery). We do not use advertising, tracking, or analytics cookies. If this changes in the future, we will update this policy and obtain your consent where required.

4. How we use your data

We process your personal data for the following purposes:

To provide the service you paid for. We use your account data to manage your account, your payment data to process transactions, and your video files to generate your highlight reel. This is the core purpose of the service.

To communicate with you about your order. We send transactional emails at key stages: account verification, payment confirmation, upload completion, reel readiness, and file expiration warning. These are service-related communications, not marketing.

To maintain security and prevent fraud. We use server logs and technical data to detect abuse, prevent unauthorized access, and maintain the stability and security of the service.

To monitor and improve processing quality. We may review the finished highlight reel (the output only, not your raw footage) to assess and improve the quality of our automated processing system. This review is limited to quality assurance. We do not use your content for marketing, promotional purposes, or AI model training.

To comply with legal obligations. We retain payment and invoice records as required by Slovak tax and accounting law.

5. Legal bases for processing

Under GDPR Article 6, we rely on the following legal bases:

Contract performance (Art. 6(1)(b)). Processing your account data, video files, and payment data is necessary to perform the contract between you and us - namely, to provide the highlight reel service you paid for.

Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)). We retain payment records and invoices for the period required by Slovak tax and accounting legislation (Act No. 431/2002 Coll. on Accounting).

Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)). We process server logs for security, fraud prevention, and service stability. We also review finished output reels for quality monitoring purposes. In both cases, we have assessed that these interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms, given the limited scope of processing and the measures we take to protect your data.

Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)). We do not currently rely on consent as a legal basis. If we introduce optional features in the future that require consent (such as analytics cookies or marketing emails), we will obtain your explicit consent before processing.

Special category data

Your uploaded video footage may contain biometric data such as recognizable faces, which constitutes special category data under GDPR Article 9. Our legal basis for processing this data is your explicit consent, provided through the deliberate act of uploading your footage to the service after agreeing to these terms (Art. 9(2)(a)). You are in full control of what content you upload.

6. How we share your data

We share your data only with the following third parties, each of which acts in a specific capacity:

Stripe (payment processing)

Stripe, Inc. processes your payment information as an independent data controller. Stripe is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. For details, see Stripe’s Privacy Policy at https://stripe.com/privacy.

Google Gemini API (AI video analysis)

To generate your highlight reel, we send downscaled, low-resolution video previews to Google’s Gemini API for automated analysis. Google processes this data as a data processor acting on our instructions. This processing may involve transferring your data to Google’s data centers located outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Appropriate safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and Google’s participation in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. For details, see Google Cloud’s Privacy Notice at https://cloud.google.com/terms/cloud-privacy-notice.

Transactional emails

We send transactional emails related to your account and orders (such as account verification and order updates) from our own mail infrastructure on rawclip.online. We do not share your name or email address with a third-party email service provider for this purpose.

Contabo (server hosting)

Our dedicated server is hosted by Contabo GmbH in Germany (within the EU). All video files and primary data storage remain on this server. Contabo provides the infrastructure and does not access your data.

We do not sell your personal data. We do not share your data with advertisers or data brokers.

7. International data transfers

Your data is primarily stored and processed on our dedicated server located in Germany (EU). The following transfers outside the EEA may occur:

Google Gemini API. Video previews sent to Google for AI analysis may be processed in data centers outside the EEA, including in the United States. This transfer is protected by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) between us and Google, and by Google’s certification under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

Stripe. Payment data processed by Stripe may be transferred to the United States. Stripe is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

We do not transfer your raw footage or finished highlight reels outside the EU. These files remain on our server in Germany at all times.

8. How long we keep your data

We retain different types of data for different periods, based on their purpose:

Raw uploaded footage is deleted from our server immediately after the job is fully processed and the output highlight reel is ready for download.

Output highlight reels are available for download for 14 days after processing is complete. After 14 days, the files are automatically and permanently deleted from our server.

Account data (name, email, authentication details) is retained for as long as your account exists. You may delete your account at any time, and we will delete your account data promptly upon request.

Payment records (transaction IDs, amounts, dates) are retained for 10 years, as required by Slovak Act No. 431/2002 Coll. on Accounting.

Server logs (IP addresses, access records) are retained for 30 days and then automatically deleted.

9. How we protect your data

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS) for all data in transit, hashed password storage, access controls limiting who can access the server infrastructure, and automated deletion schedules for video files and server logs.

Your video files are stored on our own dedicated server - not in third-party cloud storage. Access to this server is restricted to authorized personnel only.

10. Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right of access. You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

Right to rectification. You may request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data.

Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”). You may request that we delete your personal data, subject to our legal obligations to retain certain records (such as payment data required by tax law).

Right to restriction of processing. You may request that we limit how we process your data in certain circumstances.

Right to data portability. You may request a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

Right to object. You may object to our processing of your data where we rely on legitimate interest as our legal basis. We will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.

Right to withdraw consent. Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Right to lodge a complaint. You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Slovak Data Protection Authority (Urad na ochranu osobnych udajov SR) or with the supervisory authority in your country of residence.

How to exercise your rights

To exercise any of these rights, send an email to ydvsro@gmail.com . We will respond to your request within 30 days, as required by GDPR Article 12(3). If your request is complex or we receive a high volume of requests, we may extend this period by an additional 60 days, and we will inform you of any such extension.

We may ask you to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.

11. Automated decision-making

Our service uses AI to analyze your video footage and select which moments to include in the highlight reel. This is automated processing that determines the creative output you receive.

This automated processing does not produce legal effects concerning you and does not significantly affect you in a similar way - the output is a creative and entertainment product based on your own footage. Accordingly, the specific provisions of GDPR Article 22 regarding automated individual decision-making do not apply. We disclose this information for transparency.

12. Children’s data

RawClip is intended for users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If we become aware that a user is under 18, we will promptly delete their account and all associated data. If you believe a minor has created an account, please contact us at ydvsro@gmail.com .

13. What we do NOT do with your data

To be clear about our commitments:

  • We do NOT use your uploaded content or output reels to train, fine-tune, or improve any AI or machine learning models.
  • We do NOT use your videos for marketing or promotional purposes.
  • We do NOT sell your personal data to third parties.
  • We do NOT serve advertisements or share data with advertisers.
  • No human watches your raw footage during normal automated processing.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. If we make material changes that affect your rights, we will notify you by email or through a prominent notice on the website before the changes take effect.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
