Privacy Policy
We respect your privacy. We believe that the less we know about you, the better; that is why we aim to limit the information we collect to the minimum necessary. The purpose of this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) is to inform you in detail what personally identifiable information or personal information we collect from you when you use our application, how we use such information, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to review and correct, the information.
We reserve the right to change this policy, which we will do through online posting. We use your data solely to provide you with services in which you enroll.
For purposes of this Privacy Policy, the terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the individual developer Vitalii Vashchenko and his associates; the terms “application“, “service” and “product” refer to the Media Sync Tool software and related services; and “you” refers to you, as a user of the application as applicable.
What Information We Collect and How We Use It
We collect solely information that is necessary to provide you with our services and to improve our product.
Basic Subscriber Information. To manage and verify your subscription across multiple devices, we collect your digital purchase receipts from Apple together with a unique device identifier. The digital purchase receipts only include information about the type and the time of a purchase. We do not see any contact or payment information. We also do not have access to your Apple ID. We collect data about redeemed trial and promotional codes. - Legal basis Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR
Purchase Statistics. For statistical reasons and fraud protection, we collect pseudonymized data about the time and type of a purchase or the redeemed trial or promotional code, an anonymous device identifier, the version of the app and the language settings. In addition, we collect the App Store promotion campaign for Media Sync Tool (if applicable) as well as the displayed purchase options within the app. - Legal basis Art. 6(1)(b) and 6(1)(f) GDPR
Usage Data (Optional). To improve our services we periodically collect pseudonymized data about the operating system installed on your device and version of Final Cut Pro installed on the operating system. If you do not want us to collect this data, you can disable its tracking in the application's Privacy Policy settings, which can be accessed on macOS from the menu “Help › Privacy Policy…”. - Legal basis Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR
Diagnostic Data (Optional). To help identify and solve specific problems with our products and services, we occasionally solicit diagnostic reports and other troubleshooting, bug, and crash reports from customers. - Legal basis Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR
Where We Store Your Data
Personal Content. Your content, e.g., your media file names, codecs, clip dates, metadata fields, production sensitive information, etc., is not saved on our or third party servers nor do we have access to this data. This data is processed by the application algorithm only and its results stored in the form of FCPXML files locally on your device, or can be sent to Apple Final Cut Pro, if you choose to. You can store the FCPXML files generated by the application on your iCloud Drive storage (Apple service). iCloud Drive creates backups of your data and syncs it between your devices automatically. You always have the option to disable iCloud from the system settings.
Basic Subscriber Information. The digital purchase receipts, as well as the redeemed trial or promotional codes, are stored in Apple's CloudKit to sync your subscription data between your Apple devices. We do not have direct access to any data stored in your iCloud account.
Purchase Statistics. The purchase statistics are stored on servers of RevenueCat.
Usage Data. The usage data is stored with a pseudonymized device ID on the RevenueCat servers. It is not possible for us to resolve your name or other personal information from this data.
Diagnostic Data (Optional). Crash reports of the application are collected and sent to App Center by users who explicitly choose to provide diagnostic data to us.

We provide paid products and/or services within the Service. So, we use third party services for payment processing (e.g. a payment processor description below).
We will not store or collect your payment card details. That information is provided directly to our third party payment processors whose use of your personal information is governed by their Privacy Policy. These payment processors adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of payment information.
The only payment processor we work with is Apple Store Payments. Its Privacy Policy can be viewed at Apple's official website.
