Privacy Policy
What NAT Clipped Is
NAT Clipped is a locally installed desktop application for Windows. It runs on your own computer and is used to capture, trim, and post gaming clips. We do not operate servers that store your personal data.
Information We Collect
NAT Clipped collects minimal information to function:
- OBS Connection Settings — host, port, and password used to connect to your local OBS instance. Stored locally on your machine only.
- Twitch Account Credentials — if you connect a Twitch account or bot account, OAuth access and refresh tokens are stored locally on your machine to maintain the connection. These are never transmitted to us or any party other than Twitch.
- Viewer Clip Count Data — when Twitch chat integration is enabled, the usernames of viewers who use the clip command and their cumulative clip counts are stored locally in a data file on your machine. This data powers in-chat features like !myclips and !topclippers and is never transmitted off your machine.
- TikTok Account Credentials — if you connect a TikTok account, OAuth access and refresh tokens are stored locally on your machine to maintain the connection. These are never transmitted to us or any party other than TikTok. Timestamps of your recent TikTok submissions are also stored locally so the app can show you how many posts you have made in the current 24-hour window.
- YouTube Account Credentials — if you connect a YouTube account, OAuth access and refresh tokens issued by Google are stored locally on your machine to maintain the connection, along with your channel name (displayed in the app so you can see which account is connected). These are never transmitted to us or any party other than Google. Thumbnail images you choose for uploads are stored locally alongside your clips.
- Voice Command Phrases — phrases you record to trigger clips. Audio samples are processed locally and only the resulting text transcript is stored. Raw audio is never retained.
- Clip Files — video files captured from OBS are stored locally on your machine in folders you configure. We do not upload or transmit clip content without your explicit action.
- App Configuration — settings such as layout preferences, hotkeys, and overlay configurations. Stored locally in a JSON file on your machine.
Third-Party Services
NAT Clipped integrates with the following third-party services when you use specific features:
- Google Speech Recognition — when voice commands are enabled, audio captured by your microphone is sent to Google's speech-to-text API for transcription. This is subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
- OBS WebSocket — communicates with your locally installed OBS Studio instance. No data leaves your machine through this integration.
- Twitch — when Twitch integration is enabled, NAT Clipped authenticates via Twitch OAuth and maintains a persistent connection to Twitch's IRC chat servers to send and receive messages. Live chat messages are processed in memory to detect clip commands; message content is not stored to disk. Viewer usernames and clip counts are stored locally as described above. All Twitch connectivity is subject to Twitch's Privacy Policy.
- TikTok API — when you connect a TikTok account, NAT Clipped authenticates via TikTok's OAuth flow and uses TikTok's Content Posting API to upload a clip to your TikTok account only when you explicitly choose to post it. Your access tokens are stored locally on your machine. NAT Clipped does not read your TikTok content, followers, or messages. Subject to TikTok's Privacy Policy.
- YouTube Data API (Google) — when you connect a YouTube account, NAT Clipped authenticates via Google's OAuth flow and uses the YouTube Data API to (a) upload videos to your channel only when you explicitly click to post a clip, (b) set the thumbnail you selected on those uploads, and (c) read your channel name to display which account is connected. Your access tokens are stored locally on your machine and are never transmitted to us or any party other than Google. NAT Clipped does not read your videos, subscribers, comments, or analytics. Use of this integration is also subject to the YouTube Terms of Service and Google's Privacy Policy. You can revoke NAT Clipped's access to your Google account at any time via Google security settings or the Disconnect button in the app.
Google API Services Limited Use disclosure: NAT Clipped's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
