Privacy Policy

Every image you open in the Studio — JPEGs, PNGs, RAW files and their .xmp sidecars — is read directly by your browser using the local File API and rendered on your own GPU. No photo, sidecar or LUT you open in the Studio or the XMP → LUT converter is transmitted to a RawCut server. Closing the tab discards it.

The one exception is explicit and opt-in: if you choose to publish an edit to the community, the images you selected for that post are uploaded so other people can see them. Nothing is published without you pressing publish.

RawCut uses your browser’s local storage for features that would otherwise be lost when you close the tab. This data stays on your device and is never sent to us:

• saved looks (recipes only — never images)
• Academy progress, XP and badges
• Masterclass chapter completion
• your advertising consent choice
• community posts and likes, when running without an account

Clearing your browser’s site data for RawCut removes all of it.

If you create an account, we store your email address, a display name and handle, and the posts you publish (their images, EXIF metadata and editing recipe), along with likes, comments and reports you submit. Authentication and storage are provided by Supabase. You can request deletion of your account and its content at any time by contacting us.

RawCut is free, and advertising is what pays for it. When ads are enabled we use Google AdSense, which may set cookies to measure and personalise the ads you see. We ask for your consent before the Google advertising script loads at all — decline, and it is never requested.

Google’s use of advertising cookies is described in its partner sites policy. You can opt out of personalised advertising through Google Ads Settings. To change your choice on RawCut, clear this site’s data and the consent prompt will appear again.

We do not run any analytics, tracking pixels or marketing cookies of our own.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete the personal data we hold, to withdraw consent, and to object to processing. Because the overwhelming majority of what RawCut touches never leaves your device, most of this concerns account data only. Contact us to exercise any of these rights.

RawCut is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.

If this policy changes materially we will update the date at the top of this page. Questions about privacy, or requests concerning your data, can be sent to privacy@rawcut.app.
