Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Takeroom is an application that edits video you record yourself. This policy covers the Takeroom app and this website.

Takeroom is operated by NEXARLABS LTD, a company registered in England and Wales, company number 16703034, registered office 71–75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ. Privacy contact: hello@takeroom.app.

Open item whether an EU representative is required under Article 27, and the controller/processor analysis, still need legal input.

2. What we collect

• The take you upload — both picture and audio.
• What we derive from it — where each person appears in frame, who is speaking in each moment, the cut decisions, any reframes you make, the transcript, captions, chapters, show notes and clip candidates.
• Correction Still frames — a poster frame and a thumbnail frame taken from each episode.
• Your account — the identifiers held by our authentication provider, including the relay address if you use Sign in with Apple.
• Your subscription state — an anonymous app-user identifier and what you are entitled to, held by our billing provider.
• Correction Your purchases — the plan you buy through the App Store or Google Play, and any “Extra hours you bought”.
• Technical records — device and operating system, app version, IP address, crash reports, and the server-side access logs and job records that processing a take necessarily creates.

3. The other person in your footage

Takeroom exists to edit conversations, which means almost every upload contains someone who is not the account holder. Correction The app does not currently ask you to confirm that everyone recorded agreed.

If you appear in footage someone else uploaded and you want it removed, write to hello@takeroom.app and we will act on it.

Open item the notice obligations owed to a person who is recorded but is not our user, and the in-app attestation that should accompany every upload, both need legal input.

4. Why we process it, and on what basis

We do not train models on your footage. Your take is processed to produce your edit and for nothing else.

Open item the lawful basis for each purpose above, and whether speaker attribution engages the special-category rules that apply to biometric identification, are questions for counsel.

5. How long we keep it

Open item the cache time deployed on the content delivery network, and whether deleting an episode or an account should clear its cached still frames.

Open item every duration above must be read out of the deployed storage lifecycle configuration and confirmed by observing a real object expire, before this page goes live. Do not publish a number that has not been verified against the running system.

6. Who else processes it

Speech recognition runs on our own servers, not through a third-party transcription service.

Open item the processing region for each provider, the transfer mechanism where data leaves its region, and executed data-processing agreements with each.

7. Security

Uploads travel over encrypted connections and are stored encrypted. Correction A sentence about restricted access and time-limited links was removed. See the corrections box.

Open item this section must describe only what is actually configured. The same claims appear in the Google Play Data safety form, and an inconsistency between the two is itself a violation.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live you may have the right to see the data we hold about you, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to how we use it, receive a copy, withdraw consent, and complain to your data protection authority. In California you may also have rights to know, delete, correct and limit certain uses.

To exercise any of these, write to hello@takeroom.app.

Automated decisions. Takeroom decides automatically how each person is framed and when the picture cuts to them. It does this from where faces appear and who is speaking. You can override any of it: change the directing style, reframe an individual shot, or re-cut the whole episode.

9. Deleting your account

You can delete your account from inside the app. Deleting it deletes the episodes and derived data associated with it, subject to the billing records noted above.

10. Children

Takeroom is a general-audience product and is not directed at children. Do not upload footage of a child without the consent of a parent or guardian. If you believe a child's data has reached us through Takeroom, write to hello@takeroom.app and we will delete it.

Open item the minimum age and whether an age gate is required.

11. This website

Correction The waitlist. If you leave your email on the home page, we store it on our own Amazon Web Services account and use it only to send a short email confirming you joined (once our sending is set up) and the email that tells you Takeroom has launched. We do not share it or use it for anything else. To be removed at any time, reply to either email or write to hello@takeroom.app.

Correction Analytics. The site counts visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device. It loads from Cloudflare only once it is switched on for the site. The site sets no cookies of its own.

Correction Hosting. The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare handles each request to the site and may keep short-lived logs that include IP addresses, to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.

12. Changes

If this policy changes we will update the date at the top and, for anything material, tell you in the app.
