Clipara Ltd (“Clipara”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy will inform you as to how we look after your personal data when you visit our website(s) (including subdomains of our website(s) and websites through which we make our services available) and/or our applications for mobile, tablet, desktop, browser and other smart device systems (“Applications”) (regardless of where you visit it from) and use our services, and tell you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.
By using the Applications or our services, you agree to be bound by this privacy policy and that we proceed to the processing of personal data on the terms outlined below.
The Privacy Policy last updated on: 13th May, 2024
Please use the Glossary to understand the meaning of some of the terms used in this privacy policy.
This privacy policy aims to give you information on how clipara collects and processes your personal data through your use of the Applications and our services, including any data you may provide through the Applications (for example, when you chat with us on our “support chat” function available through our website (www.getclipara.com)), create an account with us, purchase a service or upload and edit audio or video files.
The Applications are not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children.
It is important that you read this privacy policy together with any other privacy policy or fair processing policy we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal data about you so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data. This privacy policy supplements other notices and privacy policies and is not intended to override them.
getclipara.com (collectively referred to as “Clipara”, "we", "us" or "our" in this privacy policy) is the controller and responsible for your personal data, except where we process your personal data because you use our services as a result of your relationship with a customer who we supply our services to (for example, if you use our services as a result of your being our customer’s employee or client).
We have appointed a data privacy manager who is responsible for overseeing questions in relation to this privacy policy. If you have any questions about this privacy policy, including any requests to exercise your legal rights, please contact the data privacy manager using the details set out below.
Where we process your personal data because you use our services as a result of your relationship with a customer who we supply our services to, we are not the data controller as we would be processing personal data on behalf of our customer as a data processor.
Where we are processing your personal data on behalf of our customer, the privacy policy that you should be referring to would be our customer’s privacy policy. Our customer’s privacy policy should inform you as to how your personal data will be processed.
If you have any questions about this privacy policy or our privacy practices, please contact our data privacy manager in the following ways:
Full name of legal entity: Clipara Ltd

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK regulator for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance.
We keep our privacy policy under regular review. Historic versions (if any) can be obtained by contacting us.
It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.
The Applications may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave the Applications, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.
Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).
We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:
We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data could be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.
We do not ask you for any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we ask you for any information about criminal convictions and offences.
You may choose to provide us with Special Categories of Personal Data through your uploading of video or audio files or other data on to the Applications. Where you provide us with such Special Categories of Personal Data, you are giving us your explicit consent to process such data about you to the extent permitted by the UK and/or EU data protection regime (as applicable). Where you provide us with such Special Categories of Personal Data about persons other than yourself, you must obtain each of their explicit written consent for us to process their Special Categories of Personal Data to the extent permitted by the UK and/or EU data protection regime (as applicable) and in accordance with this privacy policy. Their explicit written consent which you obtain must be supplied to us on our request. If a person does not give explicit written consent to our processing their Special Categories of Personal Data, then their Special Categories of Personal Data must not be supplied to us. That is to say, you must not upload video or audio files containing Special Categories of Personal Data of anyone who you have not obtained explicit written consent from.
Special Categories of Personal Data are subject to special protections under the UK and/or the EU data protection regime (as applicable).
Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with services). In this case, we may have to cancel a service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.
We use different methods to collect data from and about you including through:
We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:
The types of lawful bases that we will rely on to process your personal data is set out in the Glossary.
Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data, save for the processing of Special Categories of Personal Data (where applicable) and our making automated decisions (where applicable), although we will get your consent before sending third party direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us.
We have set out below, in a table format, a description of all the ways we plan to use your personal data, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so. We have also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate.
Note that we may process your personal data for more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data. Please contact us if you need details about the specific legal ground we are relying on to process your personal data where more than one ground has been set out in the table below.

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising.
We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).
You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased from us and you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.
We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes.
You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you (where such links are available) or by contacting us at any time.
Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a service purchase, service experience or other transactions.
You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of the Applications may become inaccessible or not function properly. For more information about the cookies we use, please see Cookie Policy.
We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.
If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.
Automated decisions are made by technological means, mostly based on algorithms subject to predefined criteria. Such automated decision-making, taken solely by technological means without any human intervention, may have legal effects or similarly significant effects on you.
By using the Applications and/or our services, you are giving us your explicit consent to make automated decisions. If you do not consent to our making automated decisions, you must not use our Applications or services.
The Applications may use your personal data decisions entirely or partially based on automated processes according to the purposes outlined in this privacy policy. The Applications adopt automated decision-making processes as far as necessary to enter into or perform a contract between you and us, or on the basis of your consent where consent is required by the law.
The rationale behind the automated decision-making is:
Where you are subject to automated decision-making processes, you are entitled to exercise specific rights aimed at preventing or otherwise limiting the potential effects of the automated decisions taken.
In particular, you would have the right to:
Please contact us if you want to find out more about the purposes, the third-party services we use which makes automated decisions (if any), and any specific rationale for automated decisions used within the Applications.
The Applications may send you push notifications and we may send you email notifications to achieve the purposes outlined in this privacy policy.
You may, in most cases, opt-out of receiving push notifications by visiting your device settings (such as the notification settings for mobile phones and then change those settings for the Applications).
Note that disabling push notifications may negatively affect your use of the Applications.
You may also, in most cases (except where we send you email notifications for the purposes set out in the table in section 4 above), opt-out of the email notifications we send by contacting us, clicking the “Unsubscribe” button at the end of our emails or by managing your communication preferences on the Applications.
We may share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table under the “purposes for which we will use your personal data” section above.
We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
Many of our external third parties are based outside the UK and/or the European Economic Area (“EEA”) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the UK and/or the EEA.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK and/or the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK or the EEA.
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
You can request details of our retention periods for different aspects of your personal data by contacting us.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data; see “your legal rights” section below for further information.
Where we use universally unique identifiers (“UUID”) for analytics purposes or for storing your preferences, a UUID is generated upon your installation of our programme(s). The UUID persists between our programme’s launches and updates, but it is lost when you delete our programme. A new UUID will be generated when you reinstall our programme.
In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.
Broadly, you have the right to:
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
Legitimate Interest means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service and the best and most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us.
Performance of Contract means processing your data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.
Comply with a legal obligation means processing your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation that we are subject to.
