Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

ClipCocoon (https://clipcocoon.com) is operated by Dulanka Katugampala, based in Sri Lanka (“we”, “us”). You can reach us at hello@clipcocoon.com.

2. Your videos

When you use a tool, your video or audio file is read by code running in your own browser. All processing, including decoding, transcribing speech, finding silences, editing and creating the new file, happens on your device. Your files are not transmitted to our servers or to any third party, and we cannot see, store or recover them. When you close or reload the tab, the file is cleared from your browser’s memory.

Some tools save your work in progress (for example, edited captions) in your browser’s own storage, so a reload doesn’t lose it. That data stays on your device and you can clear it at any time.

3. AI model downloads

Auto Captions and the Silence Remover use open-source AI models that run on your device. The first time you use one, we ask before your browser downloads the model files from our own file server (models.clipcocoon.com). This is a normal file download: it doesn’t include any information about your video. The files are kept in your browser’s storage so later uses start quickly, and you can delete them from the tool or your browser settings.

4. Information collected automatically

Hosting. Our website and model files are delivered by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, in order to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

Analytics. To understand which pages and tools are popular, we use Umami, an open-source analytics tool that we run ourselves, so the data isn’t shared with an analytics company. It records things like the page you visited, the website that sent you, your browser, your type of device and your country. It does not use cookies, does not track you across other websites and does not build a profile of you. We also count simple, anonymous tool events, such as a file being opened, an export finishing or the type of an error, with the video length rounded into a range (for example “1–3 minutes”). It never receives your files or their names. We may also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which works in the same cookie-free way.

5. Advertising

We may show ads through Google AdSense to keep ClipCocoon free. Ads never have access to your videos. If ads are shown:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and/or other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info or, in Europe, youronlinechoices.eu.

Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland are asked for consent before advertising cookies are used, through a Google-certified consent tool. You can change your choice at any time using the privacy settings link shown on the site.

6. When you contact us

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to write. We use it only to reply, and we delete the conversation when it is no longer needed. Please don’t send us your videos; we never need them to help.

7. Cookies

ClipCocoon itself does not set cookies to make the tools work. Your browser may store small preferences, work in progress and downloaded AI models locally on your device; these never leave it. Advertising cookies are described in section 5.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, including under the GDPR, UK GDPR and California privacy laws, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data we hold about you, to object to or restrict its processing, and to complain to your local data protection authority. Because we hold almost no personal data, the most likely case is an email you sent us. Just ask and we’ll delete it.

9. Children

ClipCocoon is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.

10. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we’ll update the date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be highlighted on the site.
