Shorvo

Privacy Policy

Version 1.0.0

This policy explains how Batu Kerem Yildirim handles information in connection with the Shorvo desktop application and this website.

The short version. Your videos are made on your computer and stay there. We hold the small amount of account information needed to run a licence: who you are, which computer is currently active, and how many videos you have made.

1. Your account

Shorvo requires an account, so we hold:

  • Your email address, and whether it has been confirmed. If you sign in with Google we receive the email address of that Google account. We never receive your Google password.
  • A device identifier. Shorvo derives an identifier from your installation so the one-computer-at-a-time rule can work. It identifies the installation, not you, and it is stored as a hash.
  • A count of successful generations, so the free allowance and Pro can be applied.
  • A record that you accepted these documents, and which version.

Accounts and this data are hosted for us by Supabase.

2. What happens on your computer

  • Narration, captions and the final render run locally. Finished videos are written to a folder you choose and are never uploaded to us.
  • The script writer runs on your device.
  • Your scripts, topics and finished videos are not sent to us.

3. What leaves your computer while a video is made

  • Research and footage. To build a video, Shorvo sends search terms directly from your device to public web sources and downloads publicly available images and video. Those services receive ordinary request data such as your IP address and user agent, under their own policies. We do not receive that traffic.
  • Optional browser session. Off by default. If you switch it on, Shorvo may read locally stored session cookies so footage sources treat requests as signed in. Those cookies stay on your device and are not sent to us.

4. Purchases

Purchasing is not open yet, and no payment provider is connected. When purchasing opens, payment will be handled by an external payment provider, which will collect the details needed to take payment. We expect to receive only the limited order information needed to grant your licence and support you, never full card details. This section will be finalised with the processor's name before any sale is possible.

5. This website

The site is static. It sets no analytics or advertising cookies, embeds no trackers, and loads its fonts from this domain rather than from a third party.

6. Legal basis and retention

We process account data to perform our contract with you, and order records to meet legal and tax obligations. Account data is kept while your account exists; order records are kept for as long as the law requires. Everything on your computer stays there until you remove it.

7. Your rights

If you are in the EU or UK you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability of your personal data, and may object to processing. Write to [email protected]. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.
