Privacy

Temrinak Studio is a video editor that runs entirely in your browser. The short version: your video never leaves your device, and the only personal data that reaches a server is what is needed to sell you a licence and give it back to you later.

Your video and your edit

The file you open is read into memory and written to your browser’s own IndexedDB storage, under the database temrinak-studio. That is what lets you close the tab and come back to the same edit. It is on your machine. There is no upload step, no server-side rendering, and no copy anywhere else — exporting encodes the video locally and hands you the file.

Choosing Close on a project deletes that stored copy. Clearing your browser’s site data does the same.

If you never buy anything

Then nothing is collected at all. No account, no analytics, no error reporting, no usage counting, no cookies of our own. The free tier makes no network requests beyond loading the app itself.

If you sign in

Signing in uses Firebase Authentication (Google). We receive and store your email address, and your display name and profile photo if your provider supplies them. The email is what a licence is attached to, so that signing in on a new machine restores what you bought without you copying a key across.

Your name, photo and email are also kept in this browser’slocalStorage so the app can greet you without a round trip. Signing out removes them.

If you buy a licence

Payment is handled by Paddle, who act as the merchant of record. Your card details go to Paddle and are never seen by, or transmitted through, this application. Paddle collects the billing information they need for tax and compliance; their handling of it is governed by their own privacy policy.

We store, in Google Cloud Firestore:

• the licence key issued to you;
• the email address the purchase is attached to;
• Paddle’s identifiers for the customer, transaction and (for the yearly plan) subscription, so a renewal extends your existing licence rather than issuing a second one;
• whether the licence is lifetime, and when it expires if not.

Your licence is also kept in this browser’s localStorage under temrinak.licence, which is what unlocks Pro offline.

What we do not do

• No analytics or tracking of any kind.
• No advertising, and no sale or sharing of personal data.
• No telemetry on what you edit. The licence check asks one question — is this key valid — and records nothing about how the app is used.

Keeping and deleting

Licence records are kept for as long as the licence exists, because a lifetime licence has to keep working. Ask us to delete your account and we will remove the licence record and the associated email; doing so ends the licence, since there is then nothing left to prove you bought it. Paddle keeps its own transaction records for as long as tax law requires, which is outside our control.

Getting in touch

For anything about your data — a copy of it, a correction, or a deletion — reply to the receipt Paddle sent you and it will reach us.
