Privacy Policy
Effective September 14, 2026
YouTube Clips (“we”, “us”, the “Service”), available at youtubeclips.in and clips.shammas.in, lets you create and share clips of YouTube videos by saving a start and end time. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your choices.
What we store — and what we don’t
We never download, host, or store any video or audio. All playback happens through YouTube’s official embedded player, which streams directly from YouTube. A “clip” we save is only a set of references and metadata:
- the YouTube video ID (a pointer to the public video)
- the start and end timestamps you choose
- a title you provide, and loop/visibility settings
- creation and update timestamps
Account information
You can create and share clips without signing in. If you choose to sign in with Google, we receive and store your basic Google profile information — your name, email address, and profile picture — solely to authenticate you and associate the clips you save with your account. We do not receive your Google password, and we do not access your YouTube account, your videos, or your subscriptions.
Cookies
We use a single essential cookie to keep you signed in. We do not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies.
YouTube API Services
This Service uses YouTube API Services (the embedded IFrame Player). By using it, you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service. Your use of YouTube through this Service is also governed by the Google Privacy Policy. We do not use YouTube API Services to collect or store personal data beyond the public video ID referenced by a clip.
Service providers
We rely on a few providers to run the Service: Google (sign-in), YouTube (video playback), Vercel (hosting), and Neon (database). Data is processed only to operate the Service and is not sold.
Your choices and data deletion
You can delete any clip you own at any time from your library, which removes it from our database. To delete your account and all associated data, email us at mohammed.shammas@gmail.com and we will remove it. You may also review the data Google has shared with apps, and revoke this app’s access, at Google Account permissions.
Children
The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date above.
