What we keep, where your files go, and when they are deleted
Plain answers, no legal padding. Last updated 10 October 2026.
Your account
Accounts are created by the administrator; there is no public sign-up. For each account we store:
- your username, your password (only as a one-way hash) and the secret of your two-factor sign-in;
- your sessions while you are signed in, and short-lived counters of sign-in attempts per IP address, to stop password guessing;
- your usage limit, if your account has one.
The editor
- Projects and the media you import into the editor are stored only in your browser, on your device. They are not uploaded to us. Clearing the site's data or using a private window removes them.
- Automatic captions are created on your own computer. The speech model is downloaded once from Hugging Face; your audio is not sent anywhere.
- Some fonts in the editor are loaded from Google Fonts when you choose them.
Files you protect
| What | Where | Kept for |
|---|---|---|
| The file you upload, or the file behind a link you paste | Our server, then the GPU for processing | Deleted right after processing |
| The protected result | Our server | Two days, then deleted — download it in time |
| Job details (file name, size, length, status, cost) | Our database | Kept, for your job list and for accounting |
The GPU. Protection needs a powerful graphics card. We rent one from Vast.ai only while there is work, and release it afterwards. Your file is sent to it over an encrypted connection for that one job and nothing else; the rented machine is deleted shortly after it goes idle.
Links. When you paste a link (for example from Instagram or YouTube), our server downloads the file from that site on your behalf.
Backups
The database (accounts and job details — not your files) is backed up every night on our own server. Each backup is kept for 14 days.
Cookies
Only what the site needs to work: your sign-in session and your language choice. No advertising, analytics or tracking cookies.
Deleting your data
Ask the administrator who gave you access. Deleting an account removes its jobs and files. Projects in your browser are yours to delete there.
What protection does not do
Protection makes the faces in your files much harder for AI tools to use. It does not hide them from people, it cannot undo anything already collected about you, and it is not a guarantee. See what Basir does, and does not.
