Privacy Policy for AutoCut Football

Last updated: January 17, 2026

Introduction

Smokinserver LLC ("we," "our," or "us") operates the AutoCut Football application (the "App") for iOS and macOS. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our App.

This Privacy Policy applies only to the AutoCut Football App and does not cover any other websites, apps, or services operated by Smokinserver LLC.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. AutoCut Football is designed with privacy as a core principle—your data stay on your device and in your personal iCloud account.

Information We Do Not Collect

The App does not collect, transmit, or share your content with Smokinserver LLC or any third parties. Specifically:

  • Photos and Images: We do not access, upload, or transmit your video or play data to any external servers controlled by Smokinserver LLC or other third parties. All analysis and processing occurs entirely on your device using Apple's on-device machine learning capabilities.
  • Usage Data: We do not collect behavioral data about how you use the App's features.
  • Location Data: We do not access or collect your location information.

How the App Works

AutoCut Football uses Apple's on-device machine learning and Neural Engine to analyze your videos for plays. Here's how data is handled:

  • On-Device Processing: All video analysis and AI processing happens entirely on your device. Your videos never leave your device for processing purposes.
  • Photos Library Access: The App requires access to your Photos library to identify and manage duplicate photos. This access is used solely to display photos within the App and to delete duplicates at your direction.
  • iCloud Storage: If you use iCloud, the App may store processing results in your personal iCloud account. This data is tied to your Apple ID and is not accessible to Smokinserver LLC. It is stored and managed by Apple in accordance with Apple's terms and privacy policy. This enables synchronization of your work across your Apple devices.

Crash Reporting and User Feedback

To improve app stability and respond to user feedback, we use Sentry, a third-party error monitoring service. This integration collects:

  • Crash Data: Stack traces and error information when the app crashes
  • Session Data: Anonymous session counts to understand app usage (no behavioral tracking)
  • Device Information: Device model, operating system version, and app version (for debugging purposes only)
  • User Feedback: When you voluntarily submit feedback through the app, we collect your message and optionally your email address (if you choose to provide it for follow-up) and a screenshot

What we do NOT collect:

  • Your video files or any media content
  • Personal files or documents on your device
  • Browsing history or app usage patterns
  • Location data

This data is transmitted to Sentry's servers. For more information about how Sentry handles data, please see Sentry's Privacy Policy.

You can distinguish between development and production environments in our data collection, ensuring test data is separated from real user data.

Third-Party Services

The following third parties may have access to limited data:

  • Apple: Through iCloud storage (for synchronizing your processing results across devices) and App Store distribution. This data is stored in your personal iCloud account and is subject to Apple's Privacy Policy.
  • Sentry: Crash reports, session data, and user feedback as described above (see Sentry's Privacy Policy).

We do not use any third-party advertising or behavioral tracking services.

Data Storage and Security

No data is stored on Smokinserver LLC servers. Video and app data resides locally on your device or in your personal iCloud account (if iCloud is enabled), protected by your Apple ID credentials and Apple's security measures.

Crash reports and user feedback are stored on Sentry's secure servers (see their privacy policy for details).

Website Analytics

This Privacy Policy is hosted on our website, which also includes our Help and documentation pages. While the AutoCut Football App itself does not collect any personal data, our website may use standard web analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to measure website traffic and usage.

This analytics data collection occurs only on our website and never within the App. The information collected by such tools may include general usage data such as pages visited, browser type, and approximate geographic region, and is governed by the website's privacy practices and Google's policies.

Smokinserver LLC does not combine any website analytics data with App usage, and no website analytics data is linked to your activity within the App.

Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Because Smokinserver LLC does not receive personal information through the App, we are designed so that we do not have personal data about children to collect, use, or disclose.

Your Rights

Aside from limited crash reporting data and any feedback you voluntarily submit (including an email address if you choose to provide one), we do not collect personal data. If you submit feedback and would like it removed, you can contact us. You have full control over your data:

  • App Data: You can delete any locally stored App data by deleting the App from your device.
  • iCloud Data: You can manage or delete any iCloud data through your Apple ID settings.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.

California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you have certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). However, because we do not collect, sell, or share personal information as defined by the CCPA, we generally do not have any personal information about you that we can provide, correct, or delete. We do not sell your personal information and have never done so. If you have any questions about how this applies to you, you can contact us using the details above.

European Privacy Rights

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have certain rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and similar laws. Aside from limited crash reporting data and any feedback you voluntarily submit (including an email address if you choose to provide one), we do not receive or process personal data from your use of the App. All processing of your photos and related data happens on your device and, if enabled, in your personal iCloud account managed by Apple.
