PRIVACY

Local playback. Clear data boundaries.

Local playback keeps media on your device. Account services, optional cloud features, telemetry and explicitly chosen peer sharing have separate data flows.

THE SHORT VERSION

  • Local playback does not upload your files. Peer sharing sends captured video or audio only after you choose to share.
  • Thumbnails and search indexes are built and stored on-device.
  • Workspace sync carries metadata only, never local media.
  • No ad trackers, no fingerprinting, no data resale.

Local files are read on your device through browser file APIs; decoding, thumbnailing and indexing stay local. Browser-granted folder access can be revoked. Explicit peer sharing sends the screen, window or tab capture, or program audio, that you enable after both devices confirm the pairing code. This traffic is encrypted in transit. Manual pairing text contains local network details; studio.live supplies no cloud signaling or relay.

An account stores your email and plan. Paid workspace sync stores metadata such as layouts, collection names and reconciliation hashes—not local file contents, thumbnails or file names. Timed media bookmarks remain on this device. Account data can be exported or deleted from settings.

Browsing Explore fetches wall manifests from our CDN like any static site. We count wall loads in aggregate and keep ordinary operational and security logs; individual clips you watch are not used to profile you.

Sharing crash reports and performance samples is optional and user-controlled; they are anonymous and viewable before sending — the single “Share anonymous usage & crash reports” switch, on by default, controls all of it, and you can turn it off at any time. When it is on, playback-quality samples may be included so we can find and fix stutter: which playback engine and view served a clip, a startup-latency band, stall counts, audio-underrun counts, a dropped-frame band, and the adaptive-quality (governor) shed level and share. Every one of these is a coarse bucket or a count — never file names, media, exact timings, a device or content identity, or anything that links one session to another or back to you. The benchmark submits a result only when you press Share.

Your personal stats are computed on your device and never uploaded. Public statistics (trending, top curators) are anonymous, count-only aggregates with no per-user log; counts are shown in ranges, never exact. Two account settings control your part: “Count my saves and forks in public statistics” is on by default and can be turned off to skip counting your actions entirely, and “Show me on public leaderboards” is off by default. We never rank you by how often you sign in, and there are no streaks or re-engagement pressure.
