"Additionally, we collect Information, including text, images, and videos, found in your device's clipboard, with your permission. We may collect information about the videos, images and audio that are a part of your User Content, such as identifying the objects and scenery that appear, the existence and location within an image or video of face and body features and attributes, the nature of the audio, and the text of the words spoken in your User Content."

CapCut accesses clipboard contents, analyzes face and body features in user content, collects audio transcriptions, and gathers extensive device technical information including battery data, installed app info, and device identifiers.

"We collect information about your approximate location, including information based on your SIM card region and IP address. We may use such information, for example, to provide you with personalized content. We may collect the content you create, upload, generate, or access through the Services, including associated metadata (such as when, where, and by whom the content was created)."

CapCut collects approximate location through SIM card and IP address, and also extracts location metadata from user-created content. This location data is also shared with advertising partners.

"Where you log-in from multiple devices, we will be able to use your profile information to identify your activity across devices. Depending on the jurisdiction from which you access our Services, we may show you ads based on your activity across other websites, apps and services. This information may be collected through cookies or similar tracking technologies to show you more relevant ads."

CapCut links user activity across multiple devices via profile information and tracks behavior across unaffiliated websites and apps for advertising purposes using cookies and similar technologies.

"We may also share your information with any member of our corporate group to improve the Services, allow you to access other services provided by members of our corporate group, or for internal business purposes. We may share information collected through the use of our Services and information about how those ads performed (such as views, engagement, and clicks) with measurement and advertising partners."

CapCut shares user data extensively with its corporate group (ByteDance entities), advertising partners, measurement partners, analytics providers, and various service providers for broad purposes including business improvement.

"We take steps to ensure that your information is retained for as long as it is necessary to provide you with the Services and for the other purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We retain information when necessary to comply with contractual and legal obligations, when we have a legitimate business interest to do so (such as improving and developing the Services, and enhancing its safety, security and stability)."

CapCut provides no specific retention period for most data, using vague justifications like 'legitimate business interest' to retain data indefinitely. The Indonesia section reveals data may be kept for 5+ years and non-identifiable information 'indefinitely.'

"We may amend or update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we update the Privacy Policy, we will notify you of any material changes to this policy by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of the new Privacy Policy, posting the new Privacy Policy, or providing other notice required by applicable law. We recommend that you review this policy regularly to stay informed of our privacy practices."

CapCut can change its privacy policy at any time, with notification limited to updating a date or posting the new policy. Users are expected to monitor for changes themselves.
