Privacy Policy
Last updated: 14 November 2026
1. What LeanCut does
LeanCut is a web app that turns the video clips, voice recordings and footage you upload into a short, trimmed video with subtitles. Only when you choose to, it sends the finished video to your TikTok inbox, where you review and post it yourself.
2. TikTok data we access
When you connect your TikTok account, LeanCut requests these permissions:
- Basic profile information to identify the connected account.
- Video upload to send a video you approved to your TikTok inbox as a draft.
We use this access only to perform the posting you requested.
3. Where data is stored
Your uploaded clips, voice recordings and footage, and the rendered video, are stored temporarily in Google Cloud (Singapore region). They are kept for 14 days so you can download the video or send it to TikTok, then deleted automatically. Your TikTok access and refresh tokens are stored encrypted on our servers, only to send videos you approve.
LeanCut accounts are invite-only. For your account we store your email address and a salted hash of your password (never the password itself). Connecting TikTok is optional: you can make and download videos without it, and disconnect it at any time in LeanCut, which deletes the stored tokens.
To make the video, the audio of your clips is sent to Paxa Labs for transcription, and the transcript text is sent to Typhoon (SCB 10X) to choose the cuts and write a caption. They process it only to provide that service.
4. No selling or sharing
We do not sell your data, share it with third parties other than the processors above, or use it for advertising. This website uses only the cookies needed to keep you signed in, and no analytics.
5. Revoking access and deletion
You can disconnect TikTok in LeanCut, or revoke LeanCut's access in your TikTok account settings, after which your stored tokens can no longer be used. To request deletion of any data or ask a privacy question, email contact@ventory.tech.
6. Changes
We may update this policy and will change the date above when we do.
