Privacy Policy
How we collect, use, and protect your information. No legalese traps — just honest transparency.
Filmit.io ("we," "us," or "our") operates the Filmit Studio desktop application and related CEP plugin extensions for Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information. We believe in keeping things straightforward — your creative work is yours, and we have zero interest in it.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data for advertising. We do not build marketing profiles from your usage.
Data Sharing & Third Parties
We share your information only with the service providers necessary to operate Filmit.io:
LemonSqueezy (Payments)
LemonSqueezy acts as our Merchant of Record and processes all payments, subscriptions, and refunds. They handle your billing information under their own Privacy Policy.

We use Resend to deliver account-related emails (password resets, license confirmations, etc.). Resend processes your email address to deliver these messages and operates under their own Privacy Policy.

Plugin files and updates are delivered through Cloudflare's content delivery network. Cloudflare may log standard access data (IP addresses, request metadata) as part of their infrastructure. See their Privacy Policy.
We do not share your personal information with any other third parties, and we will never sell your data to advertisers, data brokers, or anyone else.
Cookies & Local Storage
Website
Our website may use cookies for essential functionality such as remembering your login state. We may also use analytics cookies to understand site usage in aggregate. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.
Filmit Studio (Desktop Application)
Filmit Studio stores data locally on your computer using standard Electron storage mechanisms:
- Authentication session tokens (JWT) to keep you signed in
- Application preferences (theme, language, window size)
- Cached license status for offline access
This data never leaves your machine except for authentication tokens sent to our servers to verify your session.
Data Security
We take the security of your information seriously and implement appropriate measures to protect it:
- All data transmitted between Filmit Studio and our servers is encrypted using TLS/HTTPS
- Passwords are hashed and salted — we never store or have access to your plaintext password
- Authentication uses secure JWT tokens with automatic expiration and refresh
- Our database access is restricted to authorized services only
- We regularly review our security practices and update them as needed
While we work hard to protect your information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to following industry best practices.
