Privacy

Your video never leaves your device. This page explains what Capsly handles, where it goes, and how to get rid of it.

The short version

• Your video file stays on your device. Capsly never uploads or stores it.
• Only the audio track is uploaded, once, to transcribe speech. It is deleted as soon as transcription ends.
• Captions, styling, and the working project are saved in your browser. Presets you save sync to your account.
• We do not sell your data or use your content to train models.
• The beta is free and asks for no card.

What stays on your device

The video you pick is read locally for the preview and for the MP4 render. It is never sent to a server. If you skip transcription, nothing is uploaded at all. Captions and styling are stored in your browser as a project snapshot, so you can close the tab and continue later by re-picking the same file.

What we upload

Pressing Transcribe extracts the audio track in your browser and uploads only that audio to Cloudflare R2, temporary object storage. The file exists only to send the audio to Deepgram for speech-to-text. It is deleted immediately after transcription, whether the request succeeds or fails. A 7-day lifecycle rule on the bucket removes anything orphaned by a crash.

What we store about you

• Account: sign-in runs through Clerk. We store your account id, name, email, and the last time you used Capsly.
• Usage: the current month and the seconds of audio you transcribed, so the monthly allowance works. Usage records store lengths, not content.
• Presets: caption styles you save.
• Waitlist: the email you enter if you join the waitlist.
• No transcripts are stored on our servers. Captions live in your browser.

Payment

The beta is free and no card is collected. If paid plans arrive, this page will describe the payment provider and what it collects before anything is charged.

Analytics

We use Vercel Analytics for aggregate page views. It does not use cookies and does not build a profile across other sites. There are no ad pixels.

Your choices

• Clear local data: clearing site data in your browser removes the saved captions and styles on that device.
• Delete account data: email support@capsly.site from the address on your account. We delete your account record, usage events, and presets.
• Leave the waitlist: same address.
• Keep a copy: the editor exports SRT, VTT, MP4, and a Capsly .json project file.
