TakeCutter collects nothing. There is no account, no analytics, no crash reporting, and no network feature of any kind.
Everything happens on your Mac. TakeCutter reads the video files you point it at, writes the clips you export to the folder you choose, and that's the whole story. Your recordings are never uploaded anywhere, because the app has no code that talks to a network.
Almost nothing, by design. The app stores your chosen export folder, your quality setting, and your LUT selections in the standard macOS preferences for the app, on your own machine. Everything else — which takes you opened, the clips you marked, what you named them — is held in memory only and is gone when you quit.
TakeCutter runs in Apple's App Sandbox. It can only read a memory card or folder after you have explicitly granted access to it through the standard macOS panel, and it only keeps that permission so you don't have to re-grant it every week. You can revoke it at any time in System Settings.
This website is static and sets no cookies. It is served by Firebase Hosting, which keeps standard server request logs (including IP address) as part of operating the service. That's Google's processing, not something this site adds — see the Firebase privacy documentation.
The app itself is distributed only through the Mac App Store, so the download happens on Apple's servers under Apple's privacy policy, and nothing about it reaches this site.
If this ever stops being accurate, this page changes with it. Since the app has no network access, any change here would be describing something new, not something that was already happening.
