Words to know
Legal words from the lines above, in plain English.
- prompt
- What you type or say to an AI to get a response. For example, asking a chatbot to write a birthday message is a prompt, and it may be stored.
- model training
- Using your content and conversations as examples to teach an AI system, which can then echo them in future answers. For example, a story you write in a chatbot may be studied by the company to make the next version of the bot.
- personal data
- Any information that is about you or can be linked to you, from your name to your phone's ID. For example, your email, your IP address and the list of apps on your phone are all personal data.
- third parties
- Any company or person other than you and the app, such as advertisers, partners or analytics firms. For example, an analytics company that receives a record of every screen you tap is a third party.
- retention
- How long a company keeps your data before deleting it. For example, a policy might keep your messages for 30 days after you delete them, or for as long as it likes.
- affiliates
- Other companies owned by or connected to the same parent company. For example, if you use one app, its sister apps under the same owner may also get your data.
- royalty-free
- The company can use your content without ever paying you for it. For example, your photo can appear in the app's ads and you get nothing.
- sublicensable
- The company can pass its rights over your content on to other companies without asking you. For example, an app can let an advertiser or a partner reuse your video under the licence you gave.
- perpetual
- Lasting forever, with no end date. For example, a perpetual licence means the company can keep using your video years after you leave.
- worldwide license
- You let the company use your content anywhere on earth, usually for free and for as long as it likes. For example, a video you post can be shown in ads in any country without asking you again.
- indemnify
- You promise to pay the company's legal costs and losses if your use of the service gets it sued. For example, if you post a song you do not own and the label sues the app, you owe the app's lawyer bills.
- service providers
- Outside companies that handle your data on the app's instructions, such as a cloud host or an email sender. For example, the company that stores the app's files in the cloud sees your data but only does what the app tells it.

What does the app collect beyond what it needs to work?
They collect more than needed to edit video: clipboard, approximate location, device IDs, usage, face/body features in clips, and data from ad partners.
Does it record your voice, face or body, and what happens to that?
They detect faces and bodies in your videos for effects, then say that information is deleted and not used to identify you. Audio is collected as user content.
Are your chats and uploads used to train AI models, and is that off by default?
They say they train and improve machine learning models using how you use the service and by reviewing user content. No training opt-out is described.
Can employees or contractors read your conversations, and when?
They scan, analyze, and review user content for safety, moderation, and improvement, including via content-moderation partners. No review opt-out is described.
Are you profiled or tracked for advertising?
They use cookies and ad partners, serve targeted ads, and receive data about what you did on other sites and apps.
Do they sell or share your data, and can you opt out?
They say they do not sell for money but do “share” for cross-context ads. You can opt out in Your Privacy Choices or with GPC.
What rights do they take over what you type and what the AI makes?
You still own your content, but you grant a perpetual, transferable, sublicensable worldwide license to use it to run and develop the service.
How long do they keep your data after you delete it, and can you delete it in the app?
They keep data as long as needed for the service, law, or business interests. You request deletion or delete your account; no in-app 30-day wipe is stated.
Does it build a lasting memory or profile of you, and can you see, edit or turn it off?
Not stated in the documents.
Do they commit to basic security, and have they leaked data?
They say they use technical, administrative, and organizational measures, but they do not describe audits or a leak history.
Is there a real age gate, and are teens protected?
CapCut is for ages 13 and up; under 18 needs a parent’s consent. Pippit is for adults. Age is self-declared, not a strong gate.
Will they tell you when the rules change, and is the policy specific?
The policy is dated April 15, 2026. Material changes may be shown only by updating that date; continued use means you accept.
Can they close your account without warning, and can you get your data out first?
They may suspend or terminate your account with or without notice, for any reason. They say they will try to warn you before a permanent close so you can save files, unless they think that is inappropriate.
If something goes wrong, who pays?
The service is as-is, liability is capped at $50 or what you paid in 12 months, and you must indemnify them for breaches of the terms.
Do subscriptions renew on their own, and can you get a refund?
Premium plans auto-renew. They say they will tell you about price changes in advance. A 14-day full refund exists only if you never used the paid features.
