Privacy Policy
Last updated 5 November 2026
Gewei Video Editor (gewei.in) turns your videos (talking to camera, or footage like food and travel) into short vertical videos. This page explains what we collect, why, and what you can do about it. Questions: psshrikanth221996@gmail.com.
What we collect and why
- Your videos and edits. The video you upload and what we make from it (transcript, still frames, the edit plan and the finished video), only to make your edit. They are deleted automatically after 24 hours, or sooner when you delete the edit.
- Your Google account, if you sign in. Your Google account ID, name, email address and profile picture. We use them to keep your edits together across devices, to apply the free and daily limits, and to know who uses Gewei. Signing in doesn't give us your password or access to anything else in your Google account.
- How the site is used. When you visit: your browser's time zone and language (from which we estimate your country), your browser and operating system, and the website that sent you; and what you do in the app (uploads, change requests, downloads). We don't store IP addresses. To stop the free video being used over and over, we keep a one-way hash of your network address for 24 hours.
- Cookies. A random visitor ID that keeps your edits private to your browser, and, if you sign in, a sign-in cookie that lasts 30 days. No advertising or third-party tracking cookies.
YouTube, if you connect your channel
Gewei uses YouTube API Services. By connecting your channel you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service, and Google's Privacy Policy applies to what Google holds.
- Reading (when you connect). Your channel's name, its videos and their public numbers, and YouTube Analytics for your channel (views, watch time, where viewers leave, how they found you, subscribers gained). Used only to show you how your videos do, for Grow, and to tune your next edits.
- Posting (only if you allow it). When you press Post on an edit, Gewei uploads that video to your channel with the title, description and settings you chose. Gewei never posts, changes or deletes anything on your channel otherwise.
- What we keep. An encrypted access key, deleted when you disconnect; your channel's numbers that we fetched and the videos you linked or posted, kept with your account until you ask us to delete them.
- Stopping access. Disconnect YouTube in Gewei, or remove Gewei at your Google account's third-party access page.
Instagram, if you connect it
Gewei uses the Instagram API (Meta). Meta's Privacy Policy applies to what Meta holds.
- Reading (when you connect). Your Instagram account's username, name, account type and profile picture, to show which account you're posting to. Nothing else is read.
- Posting (only when you press Post). Gewei posts that edit to your account as a Reel with the caption you wrote. To do that, Instagram fetches the video from Gewei through a private link that works for two hours. Gewei never posts, changes or deletes anything on your account otherwise.
- What we keep. An encrypted access key (it expires after 60 days unless it's used), deleted when you disconnect; the Reels you posted from an edit, kept with that edit.
- Stopping access and deleting your data. Disconnect Instagram in Gewei (on the start page, under "Your style"): the key is deleted at once. Also remove Gewei in the Instagram app (Settings, Apps and websites). To have everything we hold about your account deleted, email us from the address you signed in with; we delete it within 30 days and confirm.
Who else handles it
- Microsoft Azure hosts the site and stores your videos while they are kept (in India). The edit is planned by an AI model hosted on Azure, which receives your video's transcript and a few still frames.
- Google handles the sign-in and, if you connect it, your YouTube channel.
- Meta handles your Instagram account, if you connect it, and the Reels you post to it.
- If an edit uses stock footage, only the search words (never your video) go to the stock footage provider.
We don't sell your data, show ads, or use your videos to train AI models.
How long we keep it
Videos and edits: 24 hours. Usage records: up to 400 days. Your sign-in details: while you use Gewei, or until you ask us to delete them.
Your choices
You can delete an edit at any time from its page, and sign out from the account menu. To have everything we hold about your account deleted, email us from the address you signed in with.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date above.
