Privacy policy

Last updated 10 November 2026

ClipForge is a tool that cuts long videos into short clips and posts them to the operator's own YouTube and Instagram accounts. This page explains what information is involved.

This website

• It has no accounts, forms, cookies or analytics.
• It is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes standard request data such as your IP address in order to deliver the pages.
• Its typeface is loaded from Google Fonts, so your browser makes a request to Google when a page loads.
• If you email us, we keep your message and address for as long as needed to reply and to keep a record of any agreement or removal request.

The ClipForge tool

ClipForge runs on the operator's own computer. It is not a service that other people sign in to.

• It connects to the operator's own YouTube channel through YouTube API Services, to upload clips and to read view and like counts for those clips.
• It connects to the operator's own Instagram account through the Instagram Graph API, to publish Reels and to read view and like counts for those Reels.
• The access tokens for those accounts are stored only on the operator's computer and are not shared with anyone.
• It does not collect, store or share personal information about viewers, commenters or any other YouTube or Instagram users.
• Transcripts of licensed videos are sent to Anthropic's Claude API so that clips can be chosen.

YouTube and Google

ClipForge uses YouTube API Services. Use of YouTube through ClipForge is subject to the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. Access granted to ClipForge can be withdrawn at any time from the Google security settings page.

Video owners

For each licensed video we keep the owner's name, the agreed terms and a link to the agreement, so that we can show a clip was made with permission. To have a clip removed or this record deleted, email us.
