Privacy Policy

App Store edition

Effective date: September 9, 2026

1. Scope and contact

This Privacy Policy describes how ClipDock, provided by Weiping Huang (Smith Night, “we” or “us”), handles information when you use the ClipDock app, visit clipdock.video, or contact support. ClipDock extracts video resources from supported links, downloads and manages videos, and provides video and audio processing tools.

For privacy questions or requests, email daysinyear@foxmail.com. Third-party websites, Apple services, and apps you choose to use have their own privacy policies.

2. App data and local content

The developer does not collect data through the ClipDock app, as stated in its App Store privacy label. Processing content on your device to perform an action is different from collecting that content for the developer.

• Links and download tasks: the app uses links you enter, paste, share, or choose to extract to locate video resources and manage download tasks.
• Media and processing: downloaded or imported videos, audio, thumbnails, task information, and processing results are used to provide preview, search, sorting, editing, export, and sharing features.
• Local storage: media and task records stored in the app use device storage. Content you save to Photos, export to Files, back up, or share may also exist outside the app.

We do not sell your personal information or media content.

3. Clipboard and system permissions

• Clipboard: when you paste a link or enable clipboard link detection or automatic download, ClipDock reads clipboard content to identify supported links. Background detection depends on the options you enable and system conditions. You can turn these features off in the app.
• Photos and Files: when you import media or save results, ClipDock uses the access you grant through system permission prompts or file and photo pickers. Saving automatically to Photos also requires the relevant permission.
• Notifications: if enabled, notifications inform you when a download finishes or fails. You can disable them in system settings.

You can review permissions in iOS or iPadOS Settings. Refusing or withdrawing a permission may prevent the related feature from working.

4. Websites, video sources, and network requests

Extracting links, opening web pages, and downloading media require requests to the relevant websites and resource providers. Those providers may receive your IP address, requested URL, standard request headers, and information associated with your interaction with their sites. Pages you open may use their own cookies or other storage.

These requests are needed to access the content you choose. The source website controls its content and its own data practices. The App Store statement about data not being collected by the developer does not mean that third-party websites receive no network information.

5. Purchases and Apple services

Apple processes payments for subscriptions and one-time purchases. ClipDock uses purchase and entitlement information provided by Apple to unlock paid features and restore eligible purchases. We do not receive your full payment card number, bank details, or Apple Account password.

If you use iCloud Photos, device backups, or Apple's diagnostic sharing, Apple handles the relevant information under its own settings and Privacy Policy. A system backup or Photos copy may remain after you delete content from ClipDock.

6. Website visits and support

When you visit clipdock.video or load its images and videos, hosting and content delivery providers may process standard connection information such as your IP address, browser information, request path, and access time to deliver content, operate the service, and protect it from abuse.

If you email support, we receive the email address, message, attachments, and app or device details you choose to send. We use this information to respond and troubleshoot. Please avoid sending passwords, payment details, or private media that is unnecessary for your request.

7. Sharing, retention, and deletion

We share information only as needed to provide the services you request, work with hosting or email providers, comply with applicable law, protect rights and security, or carry out your instructions. When you export or share media, the destination you choose handles it under its own policies. Service providers may process information in countries other than your own.

Local app content remains until you remove it or the relevant app data is deleted. Deleting an item in ClipDock does not necessarily delete copies in Photos, Files, backups, or other apps. Manage those copies separately. Uninstalling the app does not cancel an App Store subscription.

Support correspondence is retained only as long as reasonably needed to handle the request, follow up, and meet applicable obligations. Website connection records are subject to the hosting providers' retention practices. Contact us about information you have sent to us; we cannot remotely retrieve or delete files stored only on your device.

8. Your choices and privacy rights

You can disable automatic clipboard features, change system permissions, delete local media, and control where you export or share content. Manage subscriptions through your Apple Account.

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, receive a copy of, or restrict or object to the processing of personal information we hold. You may also withdraw consent where processing relies on it or contact your local data protection authority. Send requests to daysinyear@foxmail.com; we may need to verify that a request relates to you.

9. Security and children

We take reasonable measures to protect information handled for website operation and support, but no device, storage system, or network is completely secure. Protect your device and Apple Account and keep backups of important media.

Parents and guardians should supervise children's use of online content and purchases. We do not knowingly collect children's personal information through support. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us so we can address it and delete it where appropriate.

10. Policy changes

We may update this policy as ClipDock or its data practices change. The current version and effective date will appear on this page. We will provide notice of material changes and request consent where required by applicable law. See also our Terms of Use.
