Privacy Policy
SilenceCut for iPhone. Last updated: 9 November 2026.
SilenceCut cuts silence, music, and other non-voice sound out of videos you choose. This policy says what happens to information when you use it. The developer can be reached at vmatusevic@pm.me.
Short version
- SilenceCut does not track you.
- The developer does not collect your videos, your edits, or an account.
- Analysis and export run on your iPhone.
- Purchases are handled by Apple.
- A count of free exports for the current month is stored only on your iPhone.
The app's privacy manifest declares no tracking, no tracking domains, and no collected data types.
Videos and audio
You pick a video with the system Photos picker or the Files picker. SilenceCut copies that file into its temporary storage so it can read it.
Analysis runs on the iPhone. The app reads the audio, measures loudness every 10 milliseconds, and runs Apple's on-device sound classifier to tell a voice from other sound. It uses those measurements for the edit. It does not keep the audio samples from the analysis, and it does not send the video, the audio, or the measurements to the developer.
The copy of your video and the exported file stay in temporary storage until you tap New video, until the next export replaces the previous file, or until a cancelled import or export removes them.
If you tap Share, the file goes to the app or destination you pick. That transfer is yours. SilenceCut does not run a server for it.
Photos
Choosing a video does not give SilenceCut access to the rest of your photo library. The system picker returns the video you select. The picker is limited to videos.
Saving an export to Photos asks for permission to add to your library. The system shows: "SilenceCut saves edited videos to your photo library." SilenceCut uses that permission only to add the video you exported. It does not read your other photos or videos through it. You can refuse and use Share instead.
The app also contains this photo-library sentence, which the current version does not show as a prompt: "SilenceCut needs access to your photo library to import videos and photos." Import does not request that access.
If your photo library uses iCloud Photos, a video you save to Photos is subject to your own iCloud settings. SilenceCut does not have an iCloud connection of its own.
Purchases
SilenceCut Pro is sold by Apple through the App Store (StoreKit). Apple processes the payment, the subscription, the free trial, and restore. The developer does not receive your payment card, and the app does not read your Apple ID email.
The app asks StoreKit whether Pro is unlocked for the products on this device. That check stays on the device aside from Apple's own App Store connection.
Apple pays the developer and can provide aggregate sales reports in App Store Connect. Those reports do not include your videos or how many times you exported.

What is stored on the iPhone
For a free user, SilenceCut stores how many exports have finished in the current calendar month. The value is kept in the app's local preferences (UserDefaults) under the key freeTierUsage: a month such as 2026-11, and a count. It is not uploaded. Exports made while Pro is unlocked are not counted. A new calendar month starts the count at zero. Deleting the app removes it.
The app does not ask you to create an account, and it has no login.
What the developer does not do
- No tracking and no advertising identifier.
- No analytics SDK and no advertising.
- No collection of your video, audio, contacts, location, or camera.
- The app does not record with the camera or microphone. It edits a video you already have.
- No developer account system, and no profile of you.
Children
SilenceCut is not directed at children under 13, and the developer does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone.
Your rights
The developer does not hold an account, a video, or a profile that can be requested, corrected, or deleted. The free-export count is only on your iPhone. Purchase records are held by Apple, under Apple's privacy policy.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top will change and the updated page will be published at the same address. The privacy-policy link in the app and on the App Store points at that page.
