Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 20, 2026
RackCut lets you import or record a lifting set, automatically trim it to the lift, and export a clean clip. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your choices. It is written to align with Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). We built RackCut to be private by default — your videos are processed on your own device and are never uploaded to us.
The short version
Your videos never reach our servers; trimming and analysis happen entirely in your browser. No account is required. Payments are handled by Stripe (we never see your card number). Google Drive upload is optional and its token stays on your device. Anonymous usage data is on by default to improve detection — you can turn it off anytime. No tracking cookies, no cross-web ad tracking by us.
Video and image content — stays on your device
When you import or record a set, all processing (lift detection, pose analysis, trimming, export) runs locally in your browser. Your video and its frames are never uploaded to RackCut and are never accessible to us. The pose landmarks we derive also stay on your device — the one exception is that, if you leave “Help improve RackCut” on (see below), anonymous numeric pose coordinates are sent to improve detection. Even then, no video, images, faces, or audio ever leave your device.
Anonymous usage data — only if you opt in
RackCut includes a “Help improve RackCut” toggle, on by default and clearly disclosed on first launch. While it is on, each time you analyze or export a clip we send anonymous technical data to improve detection accuracy: anonymous pose-landmark coordinates (numeric points — no video, images, faces, or audio), the detected lift type and whether the auto-trim was accepted or adjusted, and app/browser version with general error diagnostics. This data contains no personal identifiers, cannot be linked back to you, and is stored on our behalf by a third-party cloud provider (Cloudflare). Turn it off anytime in Settings and collection stops.
Payments — handled by Stripe
If you purchase RackCut Pro, payment is processed by Stripe, Inc. We never receive or store your full card number, CVV, or banking details — only a confirmation that payment succeeded and a Stripe identifier so we can unlock Pro on your device. See Stripe’s privacy policy.
Google Drive (optional, Pro)
If you upload an exported clip to Google Drive, you authorize RackCut through Google’s OAuth flow. We request only the minimum scope needed to upload files you choose (drive.file). The access token is stored locally on your device, not on our servers, and we never read, browse, or index your Drive. Revoke access anytime from your Google Account settings or by disconnecting in RackCut.
Analytics
We use Vercel Web Analytics, a privacy-respecting service that collects aggregate, anonymous traffic data (page views, referrers). It uses no cookies and collects no personal information.
Advertising
Free users may see ads served by Google AdSense. Google may use cookies or device identifiers to serve and measure ads; you can control ad personalization at adssettings.google.com. RackCut Pro removes all ads.
Cookies and local storage
RackCut uses only functional browser storage (IndexedDB) to remember your theme, settings, Pro status, and a Drive token if you connected one, and to cache app files for offline use. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies for our own purposes.
Your rights (PIPEDA)
You can withdraw consent to optional usage-data collection anytime via the Settings toggle, disconnect Google Drive and revoke our access anytime, and request access to or deletion of any personal information we hold. Because we collect almost no identifiable data, in most cases there is nothing tied to you to retrieve or delete — but you can still contact us. You can also clear all cached data from Settings → Storage.
Children
RackCut is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction) and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
