Plain English Summary: REDitors collects what we need to run the Service (account, billing, basic usage, and security). For transcription features, the plugin may upload audio for processing and then delete it quickly. We do not sell your data.
1 Overview
REDitors (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is operated by the REDitors Team. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website at reditors.com, our web apps (such as account settings and affiliate dashboard), and our Adobe Premiere Pro plugin (collectively, the “Service”).
By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
2 Data We Collect
We collect the following categories of information:
- Account data: Email address, name (if provided), profile picture (if provided), and authentication details. Passwords are handled securely and not stored in plaintext.
- Billing data: Purchases and subscription status. Payment details are processed by Stripe and/or PayPal. We do not store full card numbers; we may store processor tokens and transaction references.
- Product usage data: Feature usage (for example: which tools you used, seconds/minutes processed, and timestamps) and basic diagnostics (such as plugin/app version).
- Website/app analytics & logs: Page views, scroll depth, referrer, page title, viewport size, language, and basic device/browser information.
- Affiliate data: If you use or join our affiliate program, we collect referral codes, click attribution data (referrer/landing page and UTM parameters), referrals, commissions, and payout preferences (for example PayPal email, bank info, or crypto ID, depending on what you enter).

3 How We Use Your Data
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain the REDitors Service
- Process payments and manage your subscription or credit balance
- Authenticate your identity and protect your account
- Send transactional emails (receipts, password resets, account alerts)

We do not sell your personal data. We do not use your private audio/video content to train our models.
4 Audio Processing
For transcription and similar features, the plugin may transmit your audio track to our servers over encrypted connections so we can process it and return results. We aim to delete audio quickly after processing is complete, typically within 5 minutes of job completion.
Transcription results (text and timestamps) may be stored in your account so you can access your history. You can delete transcriptions from your dashboard.
