Privacy Policy
A concise explanation of the information Odysser and Ody use, why it is needed, and the choices available to you.
About this policy
Odysser Inc. (“Odysser,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides the Odysser website and Ody, an AI-assisted video editor for iPhone. This policy explains how we handle information across both services.
Questions can be sent to support@odysser.com.
Information we collect
- Account information, such as your name, email address, profile image, settings, and sign-in identifiers.
- Content you choose to use, such as videos, audio, images, transcripts, captions, prompts, and editing instructions.
- Subscription and purchase status. Apple or our payment processor handles payment details; we do not receive full card numbers.
- Basic device, browser, usage, crash, security, and performance information needed to operate and improve the services.
- Messages, feedback, and information you include when contacting support.
Local and cloud processing
Ody for iPhone: your source video and editable project stay on your iPhone. When you allow AI processing, Ody sends extracted speech audio, transcripts, and the editing context needed to complete your request to our cloud services. The complete source video is not uploaded for the current AutoCut process.
Odysser website: content uploaded to the web editor may be stored and processed in the cloud so we can provide editing, recovery, rendering, and export features.
We do not make private project content public unless you choose to share or publish it.
How we use information
- Provide accounts, editing, transcription, captions, exports, subscriptions, and support.
- Save preferences and restore projects or purchases where the product supports it.
- Secure the services, prevent abuse, diagnose problems, and improve reliability.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.
Your choices and permissions
- Ody asks before its first cloud AI upload. If you decline, nothing is uploaded for that action and cloud AI editing remains unavailable.
- Withdraw AI permission at Home → profile avatar → App Settings → Data Controls. This stops new AI uploads but does not undo processing already completed.
- You control Photos, Microphone, Speech Recognition, notifications, and other device permissions through iOS Settings.
- You can limit browser cookies and analytics through your browser settings, although some site functions may be affected.
How long we keep information
We keep information only as long as reasonably needed to provide the services, secure them, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. Retention depends on the type of information and the feature used.
- Local Ody projects remain on your iPhone until you remove them, delete your account, or remove the app. Exports saved to Photos remain until you delete them from Photos.
- Temporary Ody AI job data is normally removed after processing or a limited recovery period. Service providers may retain limited copies under their security, backup, or legal policies.
- Website projects and uploads remain while needed to provide the web service or until deleted, subject to backups and legal requirements.
- Account, purchase, security, and support records may remain as needed for fraud prevention, billing, disputes, and law.
Account deletion
In Ody, go to Home → profile avatar → Delete Account → type “delete” → Continue → Delete Account. This removes your Ody account, associated account data, and local account-scoped projects. Exports already saved to Photos remain under your control.
Account deletion does not cancel an Apple subscription. Cancel it separately through Apple. Some limited purchase, security, backup, or legal records may remain where required, and deletion by service providers may not be immediate.
For website deletion or if you cannot access Ody, email support@odysser.com. We may verify your identity first.
Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, receive a copy of, restrict, or object to processing of your personal information, and to withdraw consent. Contact support@odysser.com to make a request. You may also complain to your local privacy regulator.
Information may be processed in the United States and other countries where we or our service providers operate. Where required, we use lawful safeguards for international transfers.
Security and children
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no service can guarantee complete security. Keep your account credentials private and contact us if you suspect unauthorized access.
The services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us so we can review and delete it.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as the services change. We will post the updated version here and provide additional notice when required.
