Privacy notice

In short

We collect your email, password (stored scrambled), payment records and the files you upload.
Uploads and results are deleted after 24 hours.
Files are sent to AI providers only to run your job.
We use one essential cookie to keep you logged in. No advertising or tracking cookies.
We don’t sell your data.

1. Who we are

[Company legal name] (company number [company number], [registered address]) runs Oddjob Tools and is the controller of your personal data. Contact us about privacy at [contact email].

2. What we collect

What	Details
Account	Email address, password (stored only as a scrambled hash we can’t read), sign-up date, whether your email is confirmed.
Credits and payments	Packs bought, amounts, dates, credits spent and refunded. Stripe processes your card; we receive a payment reference, not your card number.
Files and results	What you upload, the settings you choose, and the results we produce. These can contain personal data about you or others, such as faces in photos, names in contracts or voices in recordings.
Technical	Your IP address, used briefly in memory to limit repeated login attempts, and server logs of requests.

3. Why we use it

Purpose	Legal basis
Running your account and the jobs you ask for	Contract
Taking payments and keeping accounting records	Contract and legal obligation
Account emails such as confirmation and password reset	Contract
Preventing abuse and keeping the service secure	Legitimate interests

We don’t use your files to train AI models, and we don’t use your data for advertising.

Only with the services we need to run Oddjob Tools, and only for that purpose:

Provider	What for
Stripe	Card payments
OpenAI (Whisper API)	Turning speech into text for captions
[hosting provider]	Hosting the site and storing files during the retention period
[email provider]	Sending account emails
Google Fonts	Loading the site’s fonts (your browser contacts Google for these)

The silence remover and vertical video maker run entirely on our own server; those files aren’t sent to any AI provider.

Some of these providers are based in the United States. Where data leaves the UK, it is protected by the UK’s international data transfer safeguards. [confirm each provider’s transfer mechanism and that API data isn’t used for training]

We may also share data if the law requires it, for example with the police for illegal content.

5. How long we keep it

Uploads and results: deleted automatically after 24 hours, or straight away when you delete a job.
Job history (file name, tool, price, date, without the files): while your account is open.
Account: until you ask us to delete it.
Payment records: 6 years, because UK tax law requires it.
Server logs: up to 30 days [confirm].

6. Cookies

We use one cookie, called sid, to keep you logged in. It is essential for the site to work, so we don’t ask for consent. It lasts 30 days or until you log out. We don’t use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies.

7. Security

Connections are encrypted, passwords are stored as hashes, each account can only see its own jobs and files, and files are deleted on a schedule. No system is perfectly secure; if something goes wrong that affects you, we will tell you and the authorities as the law requires.

8. Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask us to:

give you a copy of your data,
correct it,
delete it,
limit or object to how we use it,
give it to you in a portable format.

Email [contact email]. We reply within one month. If you’re unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

9. Changes

We will update this notice if how we use data changes, and tell you about important changes before they apply.
