Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 23, 2025

 

Thank you for choosing PermaClips (“the App”). PermaClips is developed and operated by Perma Evidence SA, a company based in Costa Rica (hereinafter referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our App.

1. Introduction

 

PermaClips allows you to record videos and upload them directly to your Google Drive. We do not store any personal information or videos on our servers because we do not have any servers or databases associated with this App. All data related to video uploads, user authentication, and access tokens is processed directly with Google.

 

By using PermaClips, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our practices, please do not use our App.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

1. No Personal Information Storage

• We do not collect or store your name, email address, or any other personal data in our systems.

• We do not maintain any user database or server that could store user data.

2. No Video Storage

• The videos you record are stored locally on your device or uploaded to your personal Google Drive account. We do not have access to your videos once they are on Google Drive.

3. No Server-Side Logging

• Since we do not operate our own servers, we do not log any usage data or personal information.

3. Permissions and Local Device Storage

1. Camera and Microphone Access

• The App requests access to your device’s camera and microphone solely to enable video recording. We do not collect or transmit any data related to the camera or microphone usage to our servers (since we have none).

2. Local Storage

• Videos recorded through the App may be temporarily stored in your device’s local storage (Documents or Caches directory) while they are being processed or segmented. Once the upload to Google Drive is complete, segments may be removed from the local storage.

• You have full control over your local video files, and you may delete them at any time.

3. Photos Library Access (Optional)

• The App may request access to your Photos library to save the final, higher-quality video for your own records. We do not upload your Photos library data to any third-party servers.

4. Google Sign-In and Drive Integration

1. Google Sign-In

• PermaClips uses Google Sign-In to authenticate users who wish to upload videos to their Google Drive.

• The App obtains an access token from Google, which is stored temporarily on your device to facilitate uploads. We do not store or manage this token on any server.

2. Google Drive Upload

• When you record a video, the App directly uploads the video to your Google Drive account. The upload is handled by Google’s APIs.

• We do not retain any copy of your videos.

• All interactions with Google Drive are governed by Google’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. We strongly recommend you review Google’s Privacy Policy for detailed information on how they handle your data.

5. Third-Party Services

 

The only third-party service the App uses is Google (for authentication and file storage). We encourage you to review Google’s policies:

• Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

• Google Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms

 

We do not share any user information with other third-party services or partners.

6. Children’s Privacy

 

PermaClips is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information within our App, please contact us immediately at permevidence@gmail.com.

7. Security

 

Although we do not collect or store personal information on our servers, we take reasonable measures to protect the information you process in the App locally on your device. Please note:

• Local Security: We rely on your device’s operating system security features (passcodes, biometric authentication, etc.) to keep your device and data secure.

• Network Security: All uploads to Google Drive occur over secure (HTTPS) connections managed by Google.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

 

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this Policy indicates when it was last revised. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
