This page says what Astro Cut keeps about you, where it is kept and what you can do about it. "Astro Cut" here means this website and the Astro Cut app for Windows.
The short version
- Your video stays on your computer. Projects, imports, exports and transcripts are files in your own Movies folder. They are not uploaded to this website.
- The website keeps an account for you: your name, your email address and a password it cannot read.
- There are no adverts, no tracking scripts and no payments on this website.
What the website keeps
Your account. Your name, your email address, and your password stored as a one-way hash. Nobody can read the password back, including the people who run Astro Cut. If you set a display name or a profile picture in the app, those are kept too.
Your sign-ins. Each time you sign in, the website keeps a session record: when it was made, the address of your connection (IP address) and the name of your browser or of the Astro Cut app. This is how you stay signed in and how a stolen session can be ended. Setting a new password ends every other session.
Agent tokens. When you make a token for an agent such as Claude Code, Codex or Hermes, the website keeps the token's name, the first few characters, a fingerprint of the rest, when it was made, when it was last used and how many calls it made. The token itself is shown to you once and is not kept.
Usage. When the assistant or one of your agents makes an AI call through your account, the website keeps a record of it: the time, the kind of call, the model, how many tokens it used, its cost, and whether an agent made it. Your account page shows you this record.
What you send. If you use Send feedback in the app, the note you write is kept, with the app's version and, if you leave the box ticked, the diagnostics text from Troubleshooting. No keys and no media go with it.
What stays on your computer
The app does its work on your PC. Cutting, encoding, rendering and speech-to-text run there, with the tools the installer brings. The speech model, the fonts and the other models the app downloads on first start are stored in your Movies folder.
Your projects are folders on your disk. Deleting a project in the app deletes its folder. Removing the app leaves your projects where they are until you delete them.
AI services you connect
The assistant in the app runs either on Astro's own AI, or on your own Claude Code, Codex or Hermes connected over MCP. Astro's own AI sends each request through Astro to the AI company that does the work (Anthropic, OpenAI, and for generated media, voices and sounds, the services named beside them in the app): what you typed, and the parts of your project the assistant needs to read, which can include frames of your video and its transcript. Your own agent sends the request from your computer to its own service. The receiving service's privacy terms apply to what it receives. Astro never asks for, stores or uses an AI company's key of yours.
When Astro makes a video for you from generated shots, it checks each shot before using it. With Astro's Gemini service on, a small, low-resolution copy of the shot (360 lines) with its sound goes to Google's Gemini for that check, along with still frames and the words heard over it. With your Privacy setting on, no copy of the shot leaves: Anthropic's Claude checks still frames and the words instead.
Stock footage, sound effects and web captures are fetched from the services named beside them in the app, using what you searched for or the address you gave.
The website sends one kind of email: the link to set a new password, when you ask for it. The email is sent by the sign-in service of the database provider named below, which is given your email address for that purpose.
Cookies
The website sets the cookie that keeps you signed in, and no others. It is needed for the account to work, so there is no cookie banner.
Who processes the data
- Vercel hosts this website. Its servers see each request, including your IP address, and keep short-lived logs.
- Supabase hosts the database that holds accounts, sessions, tokens, usage and feedback, and sends the password email.
Nothing is sold, and nothing is shared with anyone else unless the law requires it.
How long it is kept
Account data is kept while the account exists. Sessions are removed when they expire or when you sign out. Usage records and feedback are kept until the account is deleted.
Your choices
- See and change your name on your account page.
- Revoke an agent token on your account page. The agent holding it is refused at its next call.
- Set a new password from Forgot password on the sign-in page.
- Ask for a copy of your data, a correction, or the deletion of your account and everything kept with it. Use Send feedback in the app (Settings, Help and support) and say what you want done. A contact email address will be listed on this page when one is set up.
Children
Astro Cut is not meant for children under 13, and accounts are not knowingly made for them.
