This policy describes a request to open-source-video-trimmer.pages.dev. That hostname is the published site. It is not a custom domain. These notes do not run a member database, a newsletter, or a comment store. They do not receive uploaded clips. Publisher context: about. How facts are checked: editorial policy.

What these pages collect

Public HTML is an install map. It names GitHub asset patterns, 7-Zip as the Windows extractor, and the fact that PKG and APPX do not work as manual downloads. It does not ask for a name, an email, or a file. Contact publishes no inbox; the fallback paragraph is on contact. If you open a GitHub issue on mifi/lossless-cut, that tracker is GitHub's, not a form on these notes.

Installer bytes live on GitHub Releases. The mapped files are LosslessCut-win-x64.7z, LosslessCut-mac-arm64.dmg, LosslessCut-mac-x64.dmg, LosslessCut-linux-x86_64.AppImage, and the tar.bz2 archives. Microsoft Store listing 9P30LSR4705L, Mac App Store listing id1505323402, and Snap id losslesscut stay supporting. Those vendors see whatever their stores already see when you use a store account.

Analytics

Analytics are none. There is no first-party tracker named in these notes and no third-party measurement product attached. There is no cookie banner for a tracker that is not present. A static host may keep ordinary request logs as part of serving files. These notes do not invent a log vendor, a retention number, or a dashboard. They also skip inventing telemetry for LosslessCut. The README does not advertise telemetry. The supported sentence is that the GitHub build runs locally and does not ask for an account.

Safe fetch language lives on download safely. Repo notes: GitHub. Asset names: releases.

Advertising

Ads are off. Ad IDs stay empty. There is no display network script, no affiliate cut, and no sponsored guide. Donation links on PayPal and mifi.no/thanks belong to the author. They are not ads on these pages. Store listings exist as a paid convenience path the author describes; a dollar amount is not invented here. Full disclosure: advertising disclosure.

Compare pages name different jobs. They are not paid ranks. See versus HandBrake and versus Shotcut.

Files that stay on the PC

Once you run LosslessCut, in and out points, exports, and .llc project files live on the machine you control. GitHub builds do not ask for an account. App Stores may use the store account. Snap may use a Snap session. Those sessions are not created by these notes. Optional portable Windows is an empty config.json next to LosslessCut.exe. Project files can be turned off in settings. OS map: this computer.

Uninstall means delete the extracted Windows folder, drag the Mac app out of Applications, or delete the Linux AppImage or unpacked tar. Remove the settings folder only if you want a clean profile. Snap removal applies only if you chose that supporting path. Guide index: guides.

Settings folders

installation.md names appData paths:

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\LosslessCut
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/LosslessCut
  • Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/LosslessCut or ~/.config/LosslessCut

Those folders belong to the program on your disk. These notes never receive their contents. Licence is GNU GPL-2.0. Source stays on GitHub. Building from source is optional. Most readers want the 7z, the dmg, or the AppImage. Linux Snap is supporting. Flathub is unofficial and is not mapped.

Third-party links

Notes link out. GitHub holds the repo, releases, LICENSE, docs, and issues. 7-Zip is a separate extractor used on Windows. The product homepage is losslesscut.app. Snapcraft holds the official Linux store listing. Store listings hold the supporting paid convenience path. Compare notes link HandBrake, Shotcut, CapCut, FFmpeg, and Avidemux when a job is named. Each destination applies its own policy once you leave.

Windows extract: Windows 7z. macOS: macOS dmg. Linux: Linux AppImage. Channel choice: GitHub files versus store apps. Safety: is it safe.

When this policy changes

If analytics, ads, or a public email appear later, this policy will name them before that change ships. Until then, treat analytics as none and ads as off. The stamp date moves when a person re-reads the policy. The current release tag on the stamp is still the GitHub tag for LosslessCut, injected at build, because the product and the publisher are separate. Home: video trimmer home. Migrate: move off re-encoders.

Do not send media to a guessed inbox. Product bugs belong on the upstream tracker. Security reports belong on the repo security tab. These notes invent no audit.
