Your clips.
Your choices.
How Clipper handles your recordings, optional account connection, and chosen exports.
What this policy covers
This policy covers the native Yuzu Clipper app for iPhone, operated by Justin Sun as part of Yuzu Patch. Clipper Web, Clipper for Mac, Visualizer, and other Yuzu Patch products have separate features and data practices.
You do not need a Yuzu account to capture, play, trim, delete, or export a clip. Clipper does not upload your rolling camera footage or saved clips to Yuzu Patch.
Camera, microphone, and temporary history
After you allow camera and microphone access, Clipper starts a rolling camera-and-microphone buffer while its capture screen is active in the foreground. It writes temporary recording segments inside the app so you can save up to the most recent five minutes of available history. Temporary segments use device storage even before you save a clip.
Changing the camera, including flipping between front and rear cameras, preserves the current available history. Changing zoom also preserves history. Changing the microphone starts a fresh current buffer. A camera change can leave a brief gap in recording.
Older temporary segments are removed as recording continues. Leaving the foreground or locking the iPhone stops capture and clears unsaved current and pre-pause history. Clipper also attempts to remove abandoned temporary recording files on the next launch. Saved clips are separate and remain available.
Clipper does not record another app’s screen or internal audio. You can revoke camera and microphone access in iPhone Settings.
Pausing capture and reviewing clips
Pause and opening a saved clip stop capture after the current recording segment finishes. Finalized recent history can remain available while the app stays in the foreground. When capture resumes, Clipper keeps the latest pre-pause history separately under Clips → Before last pause; saving it creates an ordinary saved clip.
Pre-pause history shares the five-minute available-history budget with new capture. It expires as new footage fills that budget, a later pause with new captured footage replaces it, or the app leaves the foreground. It is temporary, not a saved clip or a background recording. A clip does not combine footage from opposite sides of a pause.
Calls, device heat, low storage, input changes, or other interruptions can reduce available history or stop capture. Follow the status message and save useful finalized history before starting a fresh buffer.
Saved clips, edits, exports, and deletion
Choosing to save a clip writes a movie in Clipper’s private app storage. Saved clips persist across app launches until you delete them or remove the app and its data. Clipper reads local movie information to show the clip name, duration, creation time, thumbnails, and playback position.
Trimming creates a new saved clip and preserves the original. In the editor, Save to Photos exports the selected trim if you changed it, or the original if you did not. An edited copy also remains in Clipper. Save as New Clip keeps an edit in Clipper without exporting it.
Save to Photos requests permission to add the clip you choose. Clipper does not need access to browse your existing Photos library. The system share sheet sends a copy to the app, person, or storage location you select. Those destinations may sync or back up copies according to your settings and their own policies.
To remove a saved clip, open Clips, use its actions menu, choose Delete, and confirm. Deletion removes that Clipper copy; it does not remove copies already in Photos, Files, another app, with another person, or in a backup.
Deleting the app removes its local app data. Offloading can retain that data. Your iPhone or computer backup settings may include saved clips and preferences. Clipper does not operate a cloud clip library or deleted-clip recovery service; manage exported copies and existing backups where they are stored.
Optional hands-free commands
Hands-free clips are off by default. If you turn them on and allow Speech Recognition, Clipper uses Apple’s on-device English speech recognition to listen for duration commands such as “clip thirty seconds” through the selected capture microphone. On-device recognition must be available; Clipper has no server-recognition fallback.
Recognition audio and interim results are processed on the iPhone. Clipper does not upload recognition audio or keep a transcript history. A short audio overlap is held in memory to recognize commands across listening renewals and is cleared when voice capture stops.
Voice recognition pauses when capture is inactive, during clip review, and during spoken feedback. Turn off Hands-free clips in Clipper Settings or revoke Speech Recognition access in iPhone Settings. A command can be audible in a saved movie. Turning off voice commands does not mute your video’s recording microphone.
Optional Yuzu account connection and deletion
Clipper offers an optional Yuzu account connection using Google or Sign in with Apple. The provider you choose and Supabase process authentication information and the profile information you authorize, such as your name, email address, and account identifiers; Google can also provide a profile image. Apple can provide a private relay email address if you choose Hide My Email. Supabase maintains the shared Yuzu account, and Clipper displays your connected email address.
Clipper stores account session credentials on your device so you can remain signed in. Sign-in, session renewal, and security requests contact the account providers and may include ordinary technical information such as an IP address and request time. These account requests are separate from recording and local clip storage.
Connecting an account does not upload recordings or add cloud clip sync. Sign out ends this Clipper session; it does not delete the shared Yuzu account or sign you out of every other Yuzu product. Signing in is not consent to marketing.
To delete your account, open its screen in Clipper Settings, choose Delete Yuzu account, and confirm. This removes the shared Yuzu account, its Visualizer onboarding profile and feedback, and its hosted creator shares, and ends its account sessions. It does not delete saved movies in Clipper or copies in Photos, Files, other apps, with other people, or in backups. Account deletion is broader than signing out of Clipper.
For an Apple-linked account, Clipper asks you to reconnect Apple so the server can verify that linked identity and revoke its authorization. The deletion request sends the fresh authorization code to the server, which exchanges and uses Apple tokens for revocation without keeping them after the request. If reconnecting or automatic revocation is unavailable, you can separately confirm Delete account without reconnecting Apple; after successful deletion, Clipper directs you to manually revoke Yuzu’s access in your Apple Account settings.
Account information remains while your shared Yuzu account exists. If deletion cannot finish, Clipper reports the failure so you can retry or contact admin@yuzupatch.com. Signing out, deleting Clipper, or deleting the Yuzu account does not delete your Google or Apple Account or copies already held by other services. Providers’ service, security, backup, and legal retention practices also apply. For access, correction, or other account-information requests, contact admin@yuzupatch.com.
Preferences and diagnostics
Clipper saves preferences, including capture-source choices and whether hands-free commands are enabled, on the device. Internal test builds can keep small, bounded local diagnostic records of audio-route types, recognition events, timing, buffer counts, and error codes. These records contain no microphone recording or transcript; the release app does not write these internal diagnostic snapshots.
The iPhone app has no advertising or product-analytics client and does not transmit local diagnostic records to Yuzu Patch. Apple may separately process App Store, TestFlight, device diagnostic, or backup information through its services and your settings. We do not sell your recordings or use camera, microphone, or clip contents for advertising.
Support, websites, and other services
If you email admin@yuzupatch.com, you voluntarily send us your sender address, message, and any attachments. We use that information to respond to your request. Support email goes through Porkbun email forwarding to a Gmail inbox. Email is separate from on-device capture and sends the information you include outside the app.
Start a support request with your Clipper version, iPhone model, iOS version, the steps you took, and any error message. Do not send passwords, account codes, private recordings, or other sensitive information. For a privacy request about information you have sent us, use the same support address.
Opening our online support or policy pages contacts Vercel, our website host. Vercel processes technical request information such as your IP address, browser details, requested page, and request time to deliver and protect the website. These Clipper information pages do not include an analytics script, and opening them does not send your recordings.
Apple, Google, Supabase, the email services, and any export destination have their own data practices. Information sent to a provider or to support may be processed in countries other than your own. The Yuzu Patch website privacy policy covers our other website services.
Questions and updates
For help, a privacy question, or a request concerning information you have chosen to send us, email admin@yuzupatch.com. We cannot access or recover clips stored only in your app.
We will update this policy when Clipper’s data practices change. The date above identifies this version, and we will provide additional notice when required.
