Privacy policy

Last updated: 10 November 2026

Who we are

ClipScope is operated by FaZe Media, Inc. d/b/a HardScope ("HardScope", "we", "us"). This policy covers ClipScope for businesses and for creators. You can reach us at platform@hardscope.com.

What we collect

  • Your account. Your email address and name, and a password we store only as a salted hash or the Google account you sign in with. Businesses add their organization’s details and team. Creators add a handle, country, bio and profile images.
  • Your agreement. Which version of the Terms of Service you agreed to and of the Privacy Policy you acknowledged, and when. If the owner of an email address takes back a login someone else created with it, we clear that record so the owner can decide for themselves.
  • Accounts businesses connect. A YouTube channel’s details, uploads and playlists, only the Google Drive files you pick, and the documents and web pages you add.
  • TikTok (creators). Your profile and the videos you submit to ClipScope, with their view, like, comment and share counts.
  • Instagram (creators). Your professional account’s profile, and your recent posts and reels so ClipScope can find the ones you submit, with like and comment counts and insights for the posts you submit.
  • YouTube (creators). Your channel and the videos you submit to ClipScope, with their view, like and comment counts.
  • Payouts. Creators are paid through Stripe, which collects their identity, bank and tax details itself. We keep the Stripe account’s ID and status and a record of each payment.
  • What you do in ClipScope. Campaigns, the clips you submit and the decisions on them, earnings, and your messages to the campaign assistant.

How we use and share it

We use your data to run ClipScope: to prepare campaigns, confirm and count clips, pay creators, email you about your account, keep ClipScope secure and meet our legal obligations. A business sees the profiles of the creators in its campaigns, the clips they submit with those clips’ stats and what it paid them, never their email address or bank details.

These companies run ClipScope for us and process data only on our behalf: Amazon Web Services hosts it in the United States, Vercel serves our websites, Anthropic’s Claude powers the business campaign assistant (it gets no creator data), Stripe handles creator payouts under the Stripe Privacy Policy, Resend sends our emails and Google Workspace carries our own mail. We may also disclose data when the law requires it or as part of a merger or sale of HardScope. We don’t sell your data or use it for advertising.

YouTube and Google

ClipScope uses YouTube API Services. By connecting YouTube, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service, and Google’s handling of your data is covered by the Google Privacy Policy. You can remove ClipScope’s access at any time on Google’s security settings page at https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions. ClipScope’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We don’t use Google data for advertising or to train AI models. Questions about it go to platform@hardscope.com.

Cookies

ClipScope uses only the cookies and browser storage it needs to sign you in and remember your settings, and no advertising or analytics cookies.

Keeping it safe and how long

We store your data in the United States and keep it only while we need it to run ClipScope. Access tokens are encrypted and erased once no connection uses them. Payment and tax records are kept as long as the law requires. To limit repeated sign-in attempts, we keep one-way digests of request details such as network addresses. We use reasonable safeguards, though no system is completely secure.

Your rights

You can ask us at platform@hardscope.com to see, correct or delete the data we hold about you. We’ll confirm it’s you before acting, and we won’t treat you differently for asking. Depending on where you live, you may also be able to complain to a data protection authority.

Delete your data

Email platform@hardscope.com with the email address of your ClipScope account, or the platform and your handle there, and say whether you want one connected account’s data deleted or your whole account. Once we’ve confirmed it’s you, we delete a connected account’s data within 7 days and a whole account within 30 days, and tell you when it’s done.

You can remove ClipScope’s access at the platform whenever you like.

Once you’ve agreed to the current terms, you can also disconnect an account in ClipScope’s Settings. Either way ClipScope stops reading the account. We keep the clip, payment and payout records we need for accounting, tax and disputes. Deleting data in ClipScope doesn’t delete anything on YouTube, TikTok or Instagram.

Children

ClipScope is only for people 18 and over, and we don’t knowingly collect data from anyone younger.

Changes and contact

When we change this policy or our Terms of Service, we post the new version here with a new date. The next time you use ClipScope, we ask you to agree to the updated terms and acknowledge the updated Privacy Policy. Until then, the version you agreed to keeps applying.
