Privacy
Your videos are processed on your device and never uploaded. To see what works and fix what doesn't, we collect anonymous usage counts and error reports. No accounts, no cookies, no ads.
Your videos
- StitchMyClips runs in your browser. The videos you add are read, trimmed, joined or compressed on your phone or computer. They are never sent to us or to anyone else.
- So you can continue if the page reloads, a private copy of the videos you add and your last finished video are kept in your browser's storage on your device. They never leave it. "Make another video" or "Clear" deletes them, and your next video replaces the last one. The copies of your videos are removed the next time you open the page after you save your finished video; anything left is removed when you open the page after 7 days. Clearing this site's data in your browser also deletes them.
What we do send
Two kinds of anonymous reports go to our own server at stitchmy.com:
- Usage counts: when the page opens, when videos are added, when a merge starts, finishes, fails or is cancelled, and when Download or Save or Share is pressed. For Compress Video, we count processing starts, finishes, failures and cancellations, and skipped attempts.
- Error reports: when something goes wrong, what kind of problem it was and at which step, as fixed codes such as "processing failed while encoding audio".
A report can contain only these details:
| Report and visit IDs | Random numbers. The visit ID is made when the page opens and forgotten when it closes; it isn't saved on your device. Each merge attempt gets its own random ID in the same way. |
|---|---|
| Tool, page and site version | For example "Merge Videos", the language of the page, and the date the site was last updated. |
| What happened | For example "merge started", or the type and step of an error. |
| Device | Browser and system name with their main version number, and whether it's a phone, tablet or computer. This is worked out in your browser; the full browser identification text is not sent. |
| Browser features | Yes/no answers to whether your browser supports the video features this tool needs. |
| About the videos | How many videos, their total length and size as rough ranges (for example "1–5 minutes" and "100–500 MB"), their formats (for example HEVC and AAC), their rough resolution (for example 1080p), and whether they are portrait, landscape or a mix. |
| Processing | How long it took, and whether it was a second attempt. |
| Time and country | When the report arrived and the country your connection appears to be in, both added by our server. The country is estimated from your network, so a VPN can change it. We never store your IP address, city or precise location. |
For Compress Video, reports also include the size option you chose and whether the video became smaller, was already small enough, was too long for that option, or remained above the target; they never include exact file sizes.
So you can get it back if the page reloads, Compress Video keeps your last compressed video, with a small picture from it, in separate private browser storage on your device. They never leave your device. "Make another video", "Clear" or making a new file deletes them, and anything left is removed when you open Compress Video after 7 days. It does not change your saved Merge project or last merged video. Your original video is not kept.
The other tools (Trim, Crop, Resize, Convert, Mute, Rotate and Video to GIF) send the same kinds of anonymous reports: when the page opens, when a video is added, when making the video or GIF starts, finishes, fails or is cancelled, and when Download or Save or Share is pressed. Like the others, these reports never include your video, its name or its exact size.
The other tools keep only your last finished video or GIF in your browser's storage on your device, for up to 7 days, so you can save it after a reload. "Clear" or "Make another video" removes it. Video to GIF also remembers your Size, Motion and File size choices on your device, so they are ready next time: only the choices, never your video.
When you pass a finished video to another tool, a second private copy is kept on your device while that tool is open. It is removed when you choose another video or close the page, and never kept longer than the next time you open a tool.
What we never send
Your videos, frames, sound or thumbnails; file names or where files are stored; location or other details saved inside your videos; exact file sizes or lengths; error messages; cookies or anything that recognises you on a later visit.
IP addresses and hosting
The site is hosted by Cloudflare. Like any website, it receives your IP address and basic request details in order to deliver pages and protect the site. Our report server uses your IP address only for a moment, to stop one address from sending too many reports, and Cloudflare tells it which country the connection is in. Your IP address is not saved with the reports. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
Visitor statistics
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits, pages and where visitors come from, such as a search engine. It doesn't use cookies or follow you across other websites. We also use Google Search Console, which tells us which Google searches showed this site. It adds nothing to this page and receives nothing from your visit.
How long we keep reports
Reports are deleted automatically after 90 days. We keep only daily and monthly totals, such as how many merges finished in Safari on iPhone in Japan in March, without any visit IDs or merge attempt IDs.
What we don't do
No accounts, no cookies, no ads, no selling or sharing of reports with advertisers, no session recording.
