Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 13, 2026

This page is maintained by the VelaClip team to describe how personal data is handled on our website and in the VelaClip Mac app. It is written in plain language and is not intended as legal advice.

Local-first by design

VelaClip is a local-first Mac desktop application. Your sermon recordings, transcripts, generated clips, and church branding assets are processed and stored on your own Mac. VelaClip does not upload your service recordings to our servers as part of its core workflow.

Optional features that require a third-party service (for example, AI-assisted clip selection using your own Claude or ChatGPT account) are always clearly identified in the app. When you use them, data is sent directly from your Mac to the provider you chose, under their terms.

What we collect on this website

  • Early-access sign-ups. If you request early access, we collect the email address, role, and optional church name you submit so we can contact you about the beta.
  • Contact messages. If you contact us through the site, we receive the details you send so we can reply.
  • Basic request data. Our hosting provider logs standard request information (IP address, user agent, timestamp) for security and reliability.

How we use this information

We use the information above to respond to your requests, send early-access communications you signed up for, and keep the site running securely. We do not sell personal data.

Cookies and analytics

Necessary storage keeps the site working. With analytics permission, PostHog and Usermaven may use cookies to understand usage across visits. Separately, with marketing permission, the Meta Pixel shares page visits, URLs, and browser information with Meta to measure Facebook and Instagram ads and support remarketing. Marketing is off by default. You can change either choice using Cookie preferences in the footer. See our cookie policy for details.

Your choices

If you have a VelaClip account, you can download a JSON export of your profile and workspace cloud data, or permanently delete your account, from Account & privacy. You can also ask us to update or delete the email and contact information you provided at any time. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link.
