Your footage stays on your Mac.

RaveCut works on your own computer. The app doesn't upload your videos, doesn't track you, and doesn't show ads. Here is everything that does leave your Mac, and what we do with your email if you give it to us.

The RaveCut app

• Your footage and edits never leave your Mac. RaveCut reads your video and sound files and builds the edit on your computer. Nothing is uploaded.
• Activating your key. When you enter a serial key, the app sends that key and a name for this Mac (like "Premiere on Studio-Mac") to Lemon Squeezy, who issue the keys, so they can check it and count how many Macs use it. Deactivating sends the key again so the Mac can be removed.
• Checking for a new version. At most once a day, when you're online, the Premiere panel asks ravecut.com whether a newer version of RaveCut exists. It sends no key, no file names and nothing about your footage; like any web request, it reaches our web host with your IP address (see This website). If you're offline, nothing happens. Apart from this and your key, the app never goes online.
• No tracking. The app has no analytics, no usage tracking and no ads.
• Log files stay with you. RaveCut can save a log file (file names and timings, no video) to your Mac. It's only shared if you choose to send it to us. The feedback form in the guide is a Google Form, so Google stores what you send there.

Buying RaveCut

Purchases are handled by Lemon Squeezy, our merchant of record. They collect your name, email and payment details to take the payment, send your receipt and serial key, and handle refunds and tax. We never see your card number. Their privacy policy covers what they do with it. From them we receive your name, email, what you bought and your license status, so we can support you.

The free alpha and our email list

To get the free alpha, you type your email address into our store's checkout, which Lemon Squeezy runs for us. That's how your download link reaches you.

• What we collect. The email address you type in and the date. If you signed up from this site, also whether you ticked the email box, which wording of that box you saw, and that you came from ravecut.com. Lemon Squeezy may also note things like your country, as they do for every order. Their privacy policy covers that.
• The email box is your choice. It starts unticked. Tick it only if you want our emails. You get the download either way.
• If you tick it, we'll email you about RaveCut: new versions, setup tips, requests for feedback, and offers like the launch price. The emails come from Erik at RaveCut.
• The launch price list. If you type your email into "Sign up for 50% off at launch" on our home page, it goes on the same list. We'll email you when RaveCut launches, plus RaveCut news and offers. Signing up is how you say yes, and you can unsubscribe any time.
• Everyone, ticked or not, gets the emails about the download itself: your receipt with the download link, and a warning if a version you downloaded has a serious problem. Nothing else.
• Unsubscribe any time. Every email from our list has a one-click unsubscribe link, or write to support@ravecut.com. After you unsubscribe, we keep only your email address on a do-not-email list, so you're never emailed again by mistake.
• Who holds the list. Lemon Squeezy, our merchant of record, stores the list and sends the emails for us. Lemon Squeezy adds everyone who gets anything from our store to that list, but we only send news and offers to people who ticked the box or signed up for the launch price. Their emails can record whether an email was opened and which links were clicked. We only use that to see whether our emails are useful.
• We never sell or share your email. Apart from us, only Lemon Squeezy handles it, and only to send our emails.
• Why we're allowed to email you: because you said yes. You can take that back any time by unsubscribing.
• How long we keep it. Your email stays on our list until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. Lemon Squeezy keeps order records for as long as tax law requires.
• Where it's kept. Lemon Squeezy is a US company, so your email is handled in the US. Their privacy policy explains how they protect it.
• Checkout reminders. If you type your email into the checkout and don't finish, Lemon Squeezy may send you up to three reminder emails, unless we've switched reminders off.

This website

• No cookies, no analytics, no ads.
• The site is hosted by Hostinger, whose servers keep standard technical logs (like IP addresses) to run the site and keep it secure.
• The fonts load from Google Fonts, so your browser asks Google for them, which shares your IP address with Google.
• The free alpha and Buy buttons take you to Lemon Squeezy's checkout, on their website, where their privacy policy applies.

When you email us

If you write to support@ravecut.com, we keep your email and our replies so we can help you. We don't sell or share them, and writing to us doesn't sign you up for our email list.
