Introduction
This Privacy Policy is provided for general information only and does not constitute legal advice. Clipping Capital ("Clipping Capital," "we," "us," or "our") operates the website at clipping.capital and provides performance-based short-form content distribution services. We are a clipping agency: our clients, which include brands, founders, public figures, podcasts, institutions, and political and enterprise clients, provide source footage, and our managed network of independent creators edits that footage into short-form videos distributed across social platforms. This policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use and share it, and the rights available to you. It applies to our website, our booking and strategy-call process, and the services we provide to our clients. This policy is effective as of July 8, 2026.
Information We Collect
We collect information in several ways, depending on how you interact with us.
Information You Provide Directly
When you request a strategy call or submit our booking form, we collect the information you choose to give us. This typically includes your name, email address, company, and your campaign budget range. If you correspond with us by email or during a call, we also retain the contents of those communications so that we can respond and manage our relationship with you.
Source Content and Campaign Materials
To deliver our services, clients provide source content and materials for their campaigns. This may include video footage, audio recordings, images, transcripts, brand guidelines, talking points, and other assets. Where these materials contain personal information, whether relating to the client, its representatives, or individuals featured in the footage, we process that information on the client's behalf in order to produce and distribute short-form content.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit clipping.capital, we and our providers automatically collect certain technical information. This includes your IP address, device and browser data such as device type, operating system, and browser version, and usage data such as the pages you view, the links you click, and the dates and times of your visits. We use this information to operate, secure, and improve our website.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to run our website, remember your preferences, and understand how our website is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where applicable, through consent tools we provide. For more detail on the specific technologies we use and the choices available to you, please refer to our separate Cookie Policy.
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To deliver, manage, and optimize campaigns, including editing source footage into short-form videos and distributing that content across social platforms.
- To communicate with you, respond to enquiries, schedule strategy calls, and provide updates on campaign performance.
- To calculate billing, which for managed campaigns is based on verified views, and to process payments and maintain financial records.
- To operate, maintain, analyze, and improve our website and services.
- To protect the security and integrity of our systems, prevent fraud and abuse, and enforce our terms.
- To comply with applicable laws, respond to lawful requests, and establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Legal Bases for Processing
Where data protection laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation apply, we rely on the following legal bases to process personal information:
- Performance of a contract: to provide the services our clients engage us for and to take steps at your request before entering into an agreement.
- Legitimate interests: to operate and improve our business, secure our systems, and communicate with prospective and existing clients, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
- Consent: where we ask for it, for example in relation to certain cookies or marketing communications. You may withdraw your consent at any time.
- Legal obligation: to comply with laws, regulations, and lawful requests, including tax, accounting, and record-keeping requirements.
How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information. We share information only as needed to operate our business and deliver our services, and only with the following categories of recipients:
- Service providers and subprocessors: vendors that support our operations, such as hosting, analytics, communications, scheduling, and payment processing providers, who are permitted to use the information only to provide services to us.
- Our network of independent clippers: the independent creators who edit source footage into short-form videos receive the campaign materials necessary to perform their work under obligations of confidentiality.
- Social platforms: the platforms where content is distributed, including TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and X, receive the content published to them and process related data under their own terms and privacy policies.
- Professional advisers: our lawyers, accountants, auditors, and insurers, where reasonably necessary and subject to appropriate confidentiality.
- Legal and business transfers: where required by law, regulation, or legal process, and in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of all or part of our business, in which case information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including to provide our services, maintain business and financial records, resolve disputes, and comply with our legal obligations. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the context in which it was collected. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize it.
Data Security
We maintain administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, and alteration. These measures include access controls, encryption in transit where appropriate, and confidentiality obligations for personnel and members of our clipper network. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You remain responsible for keeping any account credentials and shared materials secure on your side.
International Data Transfers
We operate online and work with clients internationally. As a result, your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in countries other than the one in which you are located, including countries whose data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction. Where we transfer personal information across borders, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms, so that your information continues to receive an adequate level of protection.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to access the information we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate information, to request deletion, to object to or restrict certain processing, to receive your information in a portable format, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. Under the General Data Protection Regulation and similar laws, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act gives you rights to know what personal information we collect, to access, delete, and correct it, and to not be discriminated against for exercising your rights. As stated above, we do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising in a manner that would require an opt-out under those laws.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at contact@clipping.capital. We will respond in accordance with applicable law and may need to verify your identity before acting on your request. Where we process information on behalf of a client as a service provider or processor, we will refer your request to that client where appropriate.
Children
Our website and services are directed to businesses and professional clients and are not intended for or directed to anyone under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take appropriate steps to remove it.
Third-Party Links and Platforms
Our website and the content we distribute may include links to, or be hosted on, third-party websites and social platforms that we do not control. This policy does not apply to those third parties, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices or content. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you use, including the social platforms on which our clients' content is published.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or services. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we handle personal information.
