Your footage is yours.
Caption Room is an editor that runs inside your web browser, on your own computer. The editing, the timeline, and the export all happen in that tab — there is no media cloud behind it. A couple of AI features call our servers; this page explains exactly which, and what they send.
What stays on your device
Your video files, your projects, your edits, and your exported clips never leave your machine. The editor reads your files in the browser and keeps your projects in the browser's own private storage on that device. Caption Room never uploads your footage.
What we send — only when you ask
Two AI features send data to Caption Room's servers, and only when you trigger them:
- Auto-captions. When you click generate, the editor extracts just the audio track — in your browser — and sends it to Caption Room's servers, which transcribe it with our speech-to-text provider. The transcript returns to your tab. Your video is never uploaded, and we don't keep the audio after the transcript is made. Captions use your Caption Room account, so you never have to manage an API key.
- AI text tools (Pro). Translate, clean-up, and title/hashtag generation send only the caption text — never your video or audio — to be processed and returned.
We use this data only to provide the feature you asked for. We don't sell it, and we don't use it to build a profile of you.
Your account
To use the editor you sign in with a Caption Room account. We store your email, an optional name, and a securely hashed password (or, for Google sign-in, just your email and name from Google). Payments for Pro are handled by Stripe; we keep only a reference to your Stripe customer and your plan, never your card details. You can ask us to delete your account at any time.
The editor
The editor at app.captionroom.app is a web page. Loading it reveals only what loading any web page does (such as your IP address and browser version). While you use it, it talks to captionroom.app to confirm your sign-in and plan, and for the AI features above. It sends no usage analytics.
