This policy covers the Tapestack app and the sharing service at share.tapestackapp.com. In short: your videos stay on your phone unless you choose to share them, there are no ads, and nothing is sold or used to track you.
Clips you record or import, your tapes, and your settings are stored on your iPhone. Tapestack uses:
None of this leaves your phone unless you share a tape or send a guest link.
When you set up sharing, the service stores the name you choose and a random account ID. There's no email or phone number. For each shared tape it stores the tape's name, who is on it, and the clips people add. That includes the video and its details: when and where it was recorded (if the clip has a location), its length, and how it's trimmed and turned. Everyone on a tape can see its clips and who added them.
A guest link lets someone send you videos without the app. The service stores the videos they send, and the name they type, until your app downloads them. Then they're deleted from the service. Expired links are deleted, along with anything still on them.
If you report a clip or a person, the service keeps the report (the reason, any note you add, and what was reported) so it can be reviewed. If you block someone, the service records that so their clips stay hidden for you.
Subscriptions are handled by Apple. Tapestack never sees your payment details. If you use sharing, the app sends the service Apple's signed record of your subscription. The service keeps the subscription's end date and Apple's ID for it, to know whether you have Pro.
To limit abuse, the service counts how many accounts, tapes and links are made from each internet connection each day. It keeps only a one-way scramble of the connection's address, and deletes the counts after a day. The service runs on Cloudflare, which stores the data and videos.
No advertising, no analytics or tracking, no selling or sharing of your data with anyone else, and nothing is used to train AI.
Deleting a clip from a shared tape removes it from the service. If you leave a tape, the clips you added stay on it for the others. Delete them first if you don't want that. In the app, Settings › Delete Account (under Shared Tapes) deletes your sharing account, the shared tapes only you are on, your guest links and your blocks. Clips you added to tapes other people are on stay there, shown as from a former member. Tapes on your phone are yours to delete at any time. Deleting the app deletes everything on your phone that you haven't saved elsewhere.
Tapestack isn't meant for children under 13, and the service doesn't knowingly hold their information.
