Privacy Policy

Your media, on your device

Vr Games (“we”, “us”, or “our”) develops FilmCut, an Android video and photo editor (package filmcut.video.editor). This policy covers editing, advertising, the optional Pro upgrade, and support.

FilmCut does not automatically upload your media or projects to us. Editing runs on your device. FilmCut has no FilmCut account or developer-operated cloud storage. Google services handle advertising, ad privacy choices, and in-app purchases.

What FilmCut accesses and stores

Your selected media may contain personal information. FilmCut accesses and processes that content to carry out the editing actions you request.

Selected media: Videos, photos, and audio you choose, along with file names, file references, duration, dimensions, and other technical media information needed to import, preview, and export them.
Project information: Project names, text and captions you enter, selected-media references, timing, colors, effects, photo layers, masks, brush strokes, and other edit settings. These are saved in the app’s private storage so you can reopen a project.
Previews and exports: Thumbnail images, temporary processing data, and working copies of exported photos and videos. Gallery or document copies are created when you choose to save an export.

Bundled offline sound effects may be copied to private app storage when you add them to a film. The sound library does not download content or send listening activity to us.

Photo editing also keeps private copies of imported image sources and imported color lookup tables so local photo drafts can reopen. These image copies can retain metadata contained in the selected original. Editable .filmcutphoto files include the layer settings, source images, and referenced color tables; color profile files include grade settings and a referenced color table. Save these files only to destinations you choose to use.

Original files remain in the location you selected. Saved projects reference those files and store your edits; FilmCut does not replace or overwrite the originals as part of normal editing.

You choose the files

FilmCut uses Android’s file picker to access the videos, photos, and audio files you select. It may retain the access granted by Android so those files remain available when you reopen a project.

FilmCut does not request access to your contacts, device location permission, camera, microphone, or your entire media library. The app uses an internet connection for Google advertising, consent, and billing services. AdMob can estimate general location from your IP address.

You can choose not to import a file. Removing or revoking access to a source file can prevent projects that reference it from opening or exporting correctly.

Google AdMob and your ad choices

FilmCut uses Google AdMob for banner ads and optional rewarded videos. A completed rewarded video can unlock a video export or grant uses of certain editing features. The app stores the balance of those uses on your device. The Pro upgrade removes in-app ads.

Google’s Mobile Ads SDK can collect and share data for ad delivery, measurement, analytics, and fraud prevention. Depending on your device, region, and choices, Google may also use data for ad personalization.

IP address: Google can use your IP address to estimate your general location.
Interactions: Google can receive app and ad interaction data, including app launches, taps, and video views.
Diagnostics: Google can receive SDK and app performance information, such as startup times and app hangs.
Identifiers: Google can receive Android’s advertising ID, the app set ID, and identifiers associated with signed-in accounts where applicable.

Google’s User Messaging Platform checks whether an ad privacy message applies and handles your choices. When Ad privacy choices appears in FilmCut’s Guide, you can reopen it to review or change those choices. Where supported, Android’s ad settings let you reset or delete the advertising ID.

Google explains how it handles this information and which controls are available in How Google uses information from apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.

Google Play processes the Pro upgrade

The optional Pro upgrade is a one-time purchase through Google Play. Google handles checkout using your Google Play account and payment method. Vr Games does not receive your payment card or bank account details through FilmCut.

FilmCut asks Google Play for the product and its local price, checks whether you own the upgrade, and receives the purchase status and purchase token from Google Play. FilmCut uses that information to unlock or restore Pro and sends the token back to Google Play to acknowledge a completed purchase. FilmCut keeps a local record of Pro access for offline use and refreshes it when Google Play responds. The app has no Vr Games billing server.

Google keeps purchase and payment records under the Google Privacy Policy and the Google Payments Privacy Notice. You can review purchase history in your Google Play account.

How your media is shared

FilmCut does not send your selected media, projects, or exports to AdMob, Google Play Billing, or Vr Games as part of editing. Google’s ad and billing data flows are described above.

When you use Save or Share, Android writes or provides access to the exported image, video, or editable file at the destination you choose. The receiving app or service can retain its own copy under its own privacy policy.

If you select a file from a cloud-backed document provider, save to one, or share through another app, that provider may download, upload, or otherwise process the file. Those services operate independently of FilmCut.

Managing your local data

FilmCut keeps saved video projects, photo drafts, private photo source and sound-effect copies, imported color tables, and working export files in app storage. Thumbnails are cached for faster previews and may be removed by cache management or Android. Working export copies may remain after you save or share a video.

Delete a project in FilmCut. This removes its saved edit instructions. Deleting a photo draft also removes its draft thumbnail. Private source-image and color-table assets may be kept because other projects or edits can reference them. Deleting a project does not delete original media or previously exported files.
Clear the app’s cache in Android settings. This removes cached files, but does not normally remove saved projects or working exports stored as app data.
Clear FilmCut’s app storage or uninstall it. This removes its app-private data from that installation, including video projects, photo drafts, private photo sources and sound-effect copies, imported color tables, app-private exports, the free-use balance, and the local record of Pro access.
Remove saved or shared copies separately. Images, videos, and editable files saved to your gallery, a document provider, or another app remain until you delete them at that destination.

Clearing app storage or uninstalling leaves Google’s purchase and advertising records subject to Google’s retention policies. Google Play can restore Pro access when FilmCut next checks ownership for the purchasing account. FilmCut has no cloud backup or sync. Copies maintained by Android, your device manufacturer, or a file provider follow that service’s settings and practices.

Built around Android’s controls

Saved projects, thumbnail caches, and app-private exports use Android’s app storage protections. File access is based on the selections and grants made through Android. Sharing an export uses Android’s file-sharing mechanism to grant the receiving app access to that file.

Google says its Mobile Ads SDK uses encrypted connections to transmit the data it collects. Checkout takes place in Google Play. Vr Games cannot retrieve, restore, or delete your local projects remotely. Storage protection and any external backups depend on Android and your device or provider settings.

When you contact us

If you email Vr Games, we and our email service provider receive your email address, message, and any attachments you choose to send. We use that information to respond to your inquiry and provide support. Please send only the information needed for your request.

Support correspondence is retained only as long as reasonably needed to handle the request, provide follow-up, or meet applicable legal obligations. You can request access, correction, or deletion of information you provided to us by using the privacy contact below. Local app data is managed on your device as described above.

Information about children

FilmCut does not ask you to create a FilmCut account or enter your age. Google’s advertising and billing services handle information as described above. Parents and guardians can contact Vr Games about privacy concerns or information a child has sent us.
