Privacy policy
Effective September 22, 2026
ArtDaddy is a local-first video editor. Your projects and source media stay on your device unless you choose a feature that needs an online service.
Information ArtDaddy handles
The desktop app reads the media and project files you select so it can preview, edit and export your work. That editing pipeline runs on your computer. ArtDaddy does not upload your project or footage merely because you open or edit it.
If you sign in or use an online AI feature, ArtDaddy may process your account details, prompts, instructions and the specific inputs needed to complete that request. For example, generation, search or cloud-model features cannot operate without sending the request to the relevant hosted service. The app identifies an online action before you invoke it.
Website and service data
When you visit this website or call a hosted service, our infrastructure providers may receive standard request data such as your IP address, browser or app version, requested URL, timestamp and security diagnostics. We use this information to deliver and secure the service, investigate failures and prevent abuse. We do not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising.
Service providers
ArtDaddy relies on service providers for infrastructure, authentication and optional online AI capabilities. They process information only as needed to provide those functions and under their own applicable terms and privacy notices. Links or integrations with third-party services are governed by those services' policies.
Retention and security
Local project data remains under your control until you delete it. Hosted-service data is retained only for as long as reasonably needed to provide the service, keep it secure, meet legal obligations and resolve disputes. No security method is perfect, but we use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the information we process.
Your choices
- You can use the core editor without uploading your footage.
- You can choose whether to invoke optional online features.
- You can delete local projects and media from your own device.
- You may contact us to request access, correction or deletion where applicable.
Children
ArtDaddy is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as ArtDaddy changes. We will publish the revised policy here and change the effective date above.
