Privacy Policy

How Markswipe collects, uses and protects your personal data, including the videos you upload, how long we keep them, and how to have your account and files deleted.

2026/08/21

Introduction

Welcome to Markswipe's Privacy Policy. This document explains how we collect, use, protect and handle your personal information when you use our video marks removal service at https://markswipe.com/. The core of our service is simple: you upload a video, we send it to a third-party AI video processing provider, and you get a cleaned version back. This policy explains exactly what happens to that video.

Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting your personal data in compliance with applicable data protection laws and regulations.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

Personal Information

  • Account Information: Name, email address, and password when you register for an account with email and password, or your Google Account identifier, name, primary email address, email-verification status and profile picture when you sign in with Google
  • Contact Details: Information you provide when contacting us for support or inquiries
  • Payment Information: Billing details processed securely through our payment providers (we do not store complete credit card information)
  • Profile Information: Optional profile details you choose to add to your account

Usage Data

  • Service Usage: Information about how you use the service, including the videos you process, the areas you select for removal, and whether a processing job succeeded or failed
  • Interaction Data: Pages visited, features used, time spent on the platform, and navigation patterns
  • Uploaded Videos: The videos you upload in order to have marks removed
  • Processed Results: The cleaned videos produced from your uploads, including watermarked previews and processed source-resolution versions

Device Information

  • Technical Data: IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system
  • Cookies and Tracking: Data collected through cookies and similar technologies (see our Cookie Policy for details)
  • Log Data: Server logs including access times, error messages, and system events

How We Use Your Information

We use your information for the following purposes:

Service Delivery

  • To provide and maintain our video marks removal service
  • To process the videos you upload and deliver cleaned results
  • To authenticate you, create or link your account, and display your chosen account name and profile picture
  • To process one-off credit purchases (we do not operate subscriptions)

Service Improvement

  • To analyze aggregate usage patterns and decide which features to work on
  • To diagnose failed processing jobs and improve our prompts and model selection
  • To monitor cost and abuse of the free tier

Your video is sent to the third-party processing provider identified below so it can complete the erasing request. That provider handles the video under its own terms and privacy commitments. Do not upload a video unless you have the right to process it and send it to that provider.

Communication

  • To send you service-related notifications and updates
  • To respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
  • To notify you about changes to our services or policies

Security and Compliance

  • To detect, prevent, and address technical issues and security threats
  • To protect against fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access
  • To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms of service
  • To resolve disputes and enforce our agreements

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. Specifically:

  • Account Data: Retained while your account is active. Deleting your account removes your account record, its sign-in links, and related identifiers from our live database
  • Videos and Results for Guests: Uploads made without an account are kept for 7 days, then deleted automatically. We do not run a permanent file store for guest uploads
  • Videos and Results for Account Users: Retained for as long as your account exists. Deleting your account also deletes the stored video files themselves, and you can email us at any time to have them removed sooner
  • Usage Data: Retained for up to 24 months for analytics purposes
  • Payment Records: Retained as required by tax and accounting law, typically seven years. These records are held by our payment processor and contain no videos

Files deleted at your request are removed from our live storage promptly. Our infrastructure providers may retain limited backup or security copies for a short period under their own retention policies.

How preview links work

The free result is a watermarked, reduced-resolution preview provided through a link-accessible URL. Anyone who obtains that preview link may be able to view it while the file remains available, so do not treat the link as a private sharing channel. The preview is not the private clean master at the processed source resolution. The master is kept private and is available only through Markswipe's controlled download process after the required account and unlock checks.

Input videos are removed after the processing provider reaches a completed or failed state. If a request is interrupted, a bounded background reconciliation process retries the cleanup. Guest previews and other guest results are subject to the seven-day retention period; account results remain until account deletion or an earlier supported deletion request. Cleanup is designed to converge within these processes, but it is not guaranteed to be instantaneous.

If the provider may have accepted a request but we cannot correlate it to a job ID, we keep retrying output cleanup and schedule both input copies for deletion no later than 24 hours after that uncertainty is recorded. A failed deletion remains queued for retry.

To have your videos and results deleted, delete your account — that removes the stored files as well — or email us at support@markswipe.com if you want them removed without closing your account. Emailed requests are actioned manually, so allow us a few working days.

Data Security

We use practical safeguards appropriate to the service, including encrypted HTTPS connections, access-controlled production accounts, restricted service credentials, and authentication controls. Our infrastructure providers apply their own security and backup measures to the systems they operate.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your data with:

Service Providers

  • Identity Providers: When you sign in with Google, Google processes the sign-in request and returns the basic account data described above. Google's handling of that request is governed by your Google Account settings and Google's Privacy Policy
  • Hosting and Storage: Netlify hosts the web application, a hosted PostgreSQL database stores application records, and Alibaba Cloud OSS stores uploaded videos and processed results
  • Video Processing: We send your uploaded video to Alibaba Cloud's Intelligent Media Services (IMS) in order to remove the marks you selected. This is unavoidable — it is how the cleaned video is produced. We send only the video and the parameters describing the areas to remove; we do not send your name, email or payment details
  • Payment Processor: Stripe processes purchases and payment records
  • Analytics: We use privacy-focused aggregate event analytics (Umami) to understand usage patterns. We do not include uploaded videos or processed results in analytics events

Legal Requirements

  • When required by law, regulation, or legal process
  • To protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or the public
  • In connection with business transfers such as mergers or acquisitions

These providers process information under their own terms and privacy commitments. We give them only the information reasonably needed to perform the service for which they are used.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
  • Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data (subject to legal retention requirements)
  • Portability: Request transfer of your data to another service provider
  • Objection: Object to certain processing of your personal data
  • Restriction: Request restriction of processing in certain circumstances
  • Withdraw Consent: Withdraw consent for processing based on consent at any time

To exercise these rights, please contact us at support@markswipe.com.

International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. These countries may have different data protection laws. Where applicable, we rely on our providers' contractual and legal transfer safeguards.

Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will delete such information.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. We will notify you of any material changes by:

  • Posting the new Privacy Policy on this page
  • Updating the "Last updated" date
  • Sending you an email notification (for significant changes)

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
