Effective Date: October 13, 2026
CineView ("we," "our," "us," or "the Service") recognizes that privacy matters to the people who use our application, and we strive to treat personal information with clarity and care. This Privacy Policy describes the information we gather, the reasons we gather it, how it is stored and protected, and the limited situations in which it may be shared, in connection with the CineView mobile application and the video editing and management features it offers.
We invite you to read this Privacy Policy. By installing, opening, or otherwise using CineView, you acknowledge that you have reviewed and accept the practices described below.
1. Information We Gather
1.1 Information You Provide
Video Clips You Edit: CineView is intended to help you edit and manage your video library. You may bring clips into the app to trim them, arrange them into groups you define, or mark them as favorites for quick access. Clips you bring into the app are processed entirely on your own device, unless a feature you deliberately enable requires remote handling.
Group and Favorites Records: When you create a group, rename a group, move clips between groups, or mark a video as a favorite, we store these records so that your library stays organized and easy to browse. Group structures and favorite markings are linked to your own collection and are used solely to deliver these organization features.
Account Details (Optional): If you choose to create an account so that your library remains consistent across devices, we ask for an email address to serve as your sign-in identifier. You may also set a password. We do not request any other personally identifying information.
Messages You Send Us: If you contact us about a problem, ask a question, or share feedback, we may keep the contents of your message, which usually includes your email address and the details of your request.
1.2 Information Collected Automatically
Device and Activity Information: As you use CineView, we may automatically record limited technical and activity information—your device brand and model, operating system version, app build number, crash logs, performance readings, trimming and grouping habits, and aggregated statistics showing how the various features are used.
Permissions: To read video files from your library and to save edited results back to your device, we require storage access permission. Each permission request comes with a clear explanation, and we obtain your explicit consent before any access takes place.
2. How We Use the Information
We use the information we gather for the following purposes:
- Operating and maintaining CineView's core capabilities, including importing clips, trimming segments, grouping videos, marking favorites, and saving your completed edits;
- Enhancing application stability, speed, and everyday usability;
- Identifying and resolving software defects, performance issues, and other technical problems;
- Handling support interactions, responding to user inquiries, and integrating feedback into future releases;
- Maintaining the security posture and operational integrity of the Service; and
- Complying with legal obligations, regulatory expectations, court orders, or official government requests.
3. How We Share Information
We do not sell or trade your personal data or your source video files. Information is shared only in the following limited circumstances:
When You Request It: We may share information when you clearly instruct us or ask us to do so.
With Service Providers: We collaborate with selected outside companies—those providing crash monitoring, usage analytics, cloud infrastructure, and help-desk tooling—to keep CineView running and improving. These providers operate under binding data-handling terms and may access information solely for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
For Legal Reasons: We may disclose information when we determine in good faith that doing so is reasonably necessary to comply with applicable laws, legal proceedings, or regulatory requirements, or to protect our legal interests, investigate misconduct, or safeguard public welfare.
In a Business Transaction: If CineView is involved in a merger, acquisition, funding round, reorganization, or asset sale, user records may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the protections required by applicable law.
4. Retention, Storage, and Security
Retention Period: We retain personal data only for the period reasonably necessary to deliver the Service, fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, resolve disputes, and satisfy record-keeping obligations. You may delete your imported clips, along with their group associations and favorite markings, at any time using the removal tools built into the app.
On-Device Processing: All trimming and grouping operations take place natively on your own device. Neither your source clips nor your finished edits are stored on our servers unless you deliberately enable backup or sharing features. Completed exports are saved directly to your device's local storage.
Security Safeguards: We implement reasonable technical and administrative safeguards intended to prevent unauthorized access, accidental loss, improper alteration, or disclosure. These include protecting data while it travels across networks (SSL/TLS) and encrypting stored credentials. Nevertheless, no electronic transmission path or storage system is entirely impenetrable, and we do not claim absolute security.
International Transfers: Information managed by our service providers may cross national borders and reside in jurisdictions whose privacy rules differ from yours. When this occurs, we put in place appropriate contractual or legal mechanisms as required by applicable data protection law.
5. Your Rights
Depending on where you reside, you may hold some or all of the following rights concerning your personal data:
- Request access to or obtain a copy of the personal data we hold about you;
- Request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete information;
- Request that we delete personal information concerning you;
- Object to, or ask us to restrict, certain processing activities;
- Withdraw any consent you previously provided, where processing relies on that consent;
- Request a portable export of your personal data in a standard, widely readable, machine-friendly format; and
- Lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority in your jurisdiction.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 8. We may verify your identity before acting on your request and will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.
6. Children's Privacy
CineView is not intended for individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children below that age. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has provided us with personal information, please notify us promptly. If we determine that such data was collected without legally valid consent, we will delete it without undue delay.
Where a higher minimum age applies in your country or region, we comply with that stricter standard.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as our operations, technology, or legal environment evolves. When material changes are made, we will revise the "Effective Date" shown at the top of this document. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice—for example, through an in-app message. Your continued use of CineView after a revised policy takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
