Privacy Policy & Data Security
Last updated: August 17, 2026
1. Overview and Privacy Commitment
SubAnimate ("we", "us", "our") operates the website subanimate.com and our browser-based AI subtitle generator application. We believe that privacy is a fundamental right. Unlike traditional video processing software that uploads your media files to remote cloud servers, SubAnimate is architected from the ground up to render all video animations locally on your device using client-side WebAssembly technologies.
2. Complete Local File Privacy
We do not collect, transmit, upload, or store any of your video files, audio tracks, or subtitle files (SRT/VTT). Every operation — including timestamp parsing, font styling, word-by-word animation rendering, and MP4 video encoding — takes place strictly within your local web browser sandbox. Your personal media never leaves your laptop or desktop computer.
3. Information We Collect
Because SubAnimate runs locally in your browser, we do not require account registration or login credentials. We collect only minimal, aggregated, non-personally identifiable technical telemetry to monitor website reliability and performance:
- Aggregated page visit counts and general geographic country data.
- Browser name, operating system type, and screen resolution metrics.
- Anonymized interaction events (such as feature usage buttons) to help us improve editor UI controls.
4. Browser Local Storage and Cookies
We use essential browser local storage mechanisms (`localStorage`) solely to remember your custom preset preferences (such as selected active word highlight colors and font choices) on your own device. We do not use persistent cross-site tracking cookies to profile individual user behaviors.
5. Third-Party Analytics and CDNs
Our website utilizes trusted third-party analytics and content delivery providers (such as Microsoft Clarity and Ahrefs Web Analytics) to analyze aggregate performance. These tools collect basic telemetry in compliance with modern global privacy regulations (GDPR and CCPA).
6. Data Security Practices
We enforce strict HTTPS encryption (TLS 1.3) across all subanimate.com connections. Since media data is never stored on our web infrastructure, data breach risks associated with hosted cloud media servers are inherently eliminated.
7. Children's Privacy Notice
SubAnimate does not target or knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. Our browser application is open for general video creation without requiring personal identification.
8. Updates to This Policy
We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect technical improvements or legal requirements. Any modifications will be posted directly on this page with a revised publication date.
9. Contact and Feedback
If you have any questions, suggestions, or concerns regarding our privacy architecture, please contact our team via our official website resources at subanimate.com.
