Privacy & Data Protection

Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters. Here's how Editif collects, uses, and protects your data. Browser-based tools never upload your files — they stay on your device.

Last Updated: March 29, 2026

Encrypted & Deleted

Uploaded files are encrypted and auto-deleted after processing.

Browser-Based = Private

Free tools process files on your device — nothing is uploaded.

No Selling Data

We never sell your personal data to third parties. Period.

01

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an Editif account, we collect your name, email address, and password (securely hashed). If you purchase credits, we collect payment information processed securely by our payment provider (Razorpay). We do not store your full credit card details.

Files You Upload

When you use our AI-powered tools (subtitle generation, cloud transcription), you upload audio/video files to our servers for processing. These files are encrypted during transit and at rest, and are automatically deleted after processing is complete.

Browser-Based Processing

Our free browser-based tools (video editing, image compression, background removal, free transcription) process your files entirely on your device using WebAssembly technology. These files are never uploaded to our servers — your data stays on your machine.

Usage Data

We automatically collect basic usage data such as pages visited, browser type, device type, IP address, and referring URLs. This helps us improve performance and user experience.

02

How We Use Your Information

Service Delivery

We use your information to provide, maintain, and improve our services — including processing your files, managing your account, and handling credit transactions.

Communication

We may send you transactional emails (account verification, password resets, payment receipts). We do not send marketing emails unless you explicitly opt in.

Analytics & Improvement

Aggregated, anonymized usage data helps us understand how our tools are used, identify performance bottlenecks, and prioritize new features.

03

Data Security

Encryption

All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3. Files uploaded for AI processing are encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.

Secure Infrastructure

Our servers are hosted on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with continuous monitoring, regular security audits, and automated threat detection.

Access Controls

Access to user data is strictly limited to essential service operations. Our team follows the principle of least privilege — no one has access to your files beyond what's needed for processing.

04

Data Retention & Deletion

Uploaded Files

Files uploaded for AI subtitle generation and cloud transcription are automatically deleted from our servers after processing is complete. We do not retain your media files.

Transcription Results

Transcription text, SRT, and VTT outputs are stored in your account history so you can access them later. You can delete individual results or your entire history at any time.

Account Deletion

You may request deletion of your account and all associated data by contacting us. Upon receiving your request, we will permanently delete all your data within 30 days.

05

Third-Party Services

Payment Processing

Credit purchases are processed by Razorpay, a PCI-DSS compliant payment gateway. Your payment details are handled directly by Razorpay and are not stored on our servers.

AI Models

Our cloud transcription service uses OpenAI's Whisper model running on our own infrastructure. Your audio data is not sent to OpenAI or any other third party — all AI processing happens on our own servers.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand usage patterns. We do not sell or share your personal data with third-party advertisers.

06

Cookies & Local Storage

Essential Cookies

We use essential cookies to maintain your session, remember your login state, and ensure the website functions properly. These cannot be disabled.

Local Storage

Our browser-based tools may use your browser's local storage to cache tool settings and preferences. This data never leaves your device.

No Tracking Cookies

We do not use third-party tracking cookies for advertising purposes. We respect Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals.

07

Your Rights

Access & Portability

You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you and request a copy of your data in a portable format.

Correction & Deletion

You can update your profile information at any time through your account settings. You may request deletion of your account and all associated data.

Consent Withdrawal

Where we process data based on your consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time. This includes opting out of any communications.

08

Transcription Widget & API

Widget Data Processing

When website owners embed our Transcription Widget, files uploaded through the widget are processed on our servers under the same security and retention policies described above. Widget operators are responsible for informing their users about data processing.

API Keys

Widget API keys authenticate requests and track usage. API keys should be kept confidential. We log API usage for billing and abuse prevention purposes.

09

Changes to This Policy

Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services or legal requirements. We will notify registered users of significant changes via email. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision.
