Introduction

William Alexander (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the Rewinderator mobile application (the “Service”). This Privacy Policy informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service.

The Short Version: Rewinderator collects no personal data, stores no user information, and respects your complete privacy.

Information We Collect

Personal Data

We do not collect any personal data. Rewinderator does not require user accounts, registration, or any form of personal identification.

Usage Data

We do not collect usage data. We do not track how you use the app, which features you access, or any behavioral analytics.

Device Information

We do not collect device information. We do not access your device ID, location, or any device-specific identifiers.

YouTube Content

We do not store YouTube content. When you provide a YouTube URL:

  • The app uses YouTube’s public embedding API to display videos
  • No video content is downloaded, cached, or stored on your device
  • Only loop timing metadata (start/end times) is saved locally on your device

How We Store Your Data

Local Storage Only

All data created in Rewinderator is stored locally on your device using Apple’s SwiftData framework:

  • Loop timing information (start and end points)
  • Custom titles, descriptions, and tags you create
  • Playback speed preferences
  • YouTube video metadata (title, thumbnail URLs) for display purposes

No Cloud Storage

  • We do not upload your data to any servers
  • We do not use cloud storage services
  • Your data never leaves your device
  • We cannot access your saved loops or any app data

No Data Transmission

  • The app only communicates with YouTube’s public API for video embedding
  • No personal data is transmitted to us or any third parties
  • All network requests are made directly to YouTube’s servers

Third-Party Services

YouTube API

Rewinderator uses YouTube’s IFrame Player API to embed and play videos. When you use YouTube videos in the app:

  • You are subject to YouTube’s own privacy policy
  • YouTube may collect data according to their policies
  • We have no control over YouTube’s data collection
  • We recommend reviewing YouTube’s Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy

Your Rights

  • Deleting individual loops within the app
  • Uninstalling the app (removes all local data)

Data Portability

Your loop data is stored in a standard format on your device and can be removed by uninstalling the app.
