Who controls your data

Cheatcut is the controller for Cheatcut enquiries, sales, accounts and service administration. Contact supportcheatcut.pro about anything in this policy.

What we collect

We process contact and account details, correspondence, order and transaction references, and the account and security-event metadata required to deliver the service.

No advertising or optional analytics

Cheatcut does not use advertising cookies or optional website analytics. We keep the records needed to run your account, secure the service and process payments. Application health monitoring, where enabled, is privacy-scrubbed.

Checkout

Checkout requires your email for the order, receipt and account claim link; a phone number is optional and stored only if you provide it. Your paid credits remain attached to that email if you finish account setup later. Checkout does not subscribe you to marketing.

You can request correction or deletion by contacting supportcheatcut.pro.

Billing and local currency

We use the country associated with your connection to suggest a display currency. The country lookup runs locally or uses our hosting provider; we do not send your IP address to an exchange-rate service. A manual currency choice is saved in your browser and in a first-party preference cookie, kept for one year, so every page shows the same currency. Prices are set in USD; other currencies are estimates, and checkout confirms the fixed GBP charge.

Square receives card details through its secure payment fields and stores the payment card. We keep customer and subscription references, agreed prices, recurring consent, payment status and credit records. Your card number and security code are not stored by our application.

Your footage and its review

Your uploaded source is sent in resumable parts directly to private EU object storage and processed on private compute. Original footage stays in our private object storage while you revise an edit; it is never copied whole onto the processing host, which works from a lower-resolution preview copy and the selected parts it cuts from the original. The original, its preview copy and the footage analysis made from it are deleted when you approve the final edit; otherwise your edit closes automatically 24 hours after its final render and they are deleted then. An open quote, queued edit or running edit of the same footage keeps it open; a revision that fails or is cancelled starts a new 24-hour window; and footage given a later closing date under our earlier policy keeps that date. The workspace shows each date. An upload that never starts an edit is removed after 24 hours; footage whose edits all failed or were cancelled is kept for 72 hours for a retry. The final export and saved editable project remain until you remove the edit. Once an edit is approved or closed it can no longer be revised; its final video stays available to download.

Google receives source and final video clips with review instructions. Anthropic receives your brief, any saved editing preference and text observations for planning; we do not send the video file to Anthropic. If the primary planner declines a request, OpenAI receives the same planning information to finish that edit; we do not send the video file to OpenAI either.

Your private footage and full brief are not shared as general editing ideas. Using your completed edits to improve the editor is a separate choice, off by default. When it is on, each edit you complete keeps a derived record: its edit type, format and length, the categories and counts of its edit plan, its review results and quality checks, your rating and which parts a revision changed. The record never contains your footage, brief, narration or finished composition. Removing an edit removes its brief and exports, and its derived record within a day, while retaining a minimal settlement record. We request deletion of temporary Google files after processing; if deletion cannot be confirmed, the edit is held for review and reconciliation rather than marked complete.

Why we process it

Data is used to answer enquiries, deliver the service, secure accounts, process approved payments, meet legal obligations and improve reliability.

Retention and rights

Enquiries are retained for up to 24 months unless you request earlier deletion; account records for the contract plus 90 days unless agreed otherwise; security logs for 12 months; and financial records for the legally required period. You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability by contacting supportcheatcut.pro.
