Privacy

SceneMill is built to work on your own computer. This page says what the application and this website do with data, and what they do not.

The application

• SceneMill has no account system and needs no sign-in.
• It sends no telemetry, usage statistics or crash reports.
• Your media and projects stay on your computer. SceneMill does not upload them.
• Automatic subtitles are transcribed on your computer. The speech model for them is not part of the installer: if you choose a model, SceneMill downloads it from huggingface.co. As with any download, that server then sees your IP address. Nothing is downloaded unless you start it.

This website

• This website sets no cookies and uses no analytics service, advertising or tracking.
• All of its files (pictures, video, styles, scripts) come from this website's own server. It loads no fonts, scripts or other content from third parties.

The website runs on a virtual server rented from Hostinger. As on every web server, each request is written to a log file: the IP address it came from, the time, the file requested, the page it was requested from and the browser's identification. The logs are used to keep the server running and to detect misuse, are not combined with other data, and are deleted after 14 days. From them the server counts how many visitors and downloads there were and from which websites visitors came. So that everybody is counted only once, it keeps a scrambled fingerprint of each visitor (a salted hash of IP address and browser type) from which neither can be read back; it is used for nothing else. Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation applies, the legal basis is the legitimate interest in running the site securely (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Downloads of SceneMill come from the same server and are logged and counted in the same way. Nothing else is recorded about who downloads it.

Your rights

Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation applies, you have the right to ask what personal data is held about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to its processing, and to complain to a data protection authority.
