Tekno Motion privacy policy

Last updated: 9 October 2026.

Tekno Motion is built to keep your work on your own computer. This page explains the little data that does leave it. Contact for anything privacy-related: teknobuddy.support@gmail.com.

The app

• Your videos, footage, voice, scripts and projects stay on your PC. We never receive them.
• Licence check (Pro only): your licence key and an activation id are sent to Lemon Squeezy to confirm the key, with a label like "Windows PC a1b2c3" (not your PC's real name). This happens when you activate and about every few days.
• Update check and news: the app downloads two tiny public files from our website (at most a few times a day) to see if there's a new version or an announcement. Like any website visit, this reveals your IP address to our host (Vercel); we don't log it ourselves.
• Feedback you choose to send (Help & feedback): your message, the app version, Windows version and graphics card name, your email only if you type it, and the error log only if you tick the box. The log is cleaned first (your user name, file paths, keys and emails are removed) and you can read exactly what is sent before sending.
• Features you switch on that use other services:
  • AI scene/caption writing with your own keys (Gemini, OpenAI, Groq, OpenRouter, Anthropic, Mistral, etc.): the script or transcript text is sent to the provider you picked, under that provider's privacy terms. Your keys are stored only on your PC.
  • Claude Code mode: runs Claude Code on your PC with your own Claude account.
  • Free music and image search: your search words go to those sites (ccMixter, Openverse, Jamendo and image search).
• No ads, no tracking, no analytics in the app.

The website

• Waitlist: your email, optional name, what you make and which editors you use, plus your consent and its time. Used only to tell you about Tekno Motion (launch and occasional updates). Unsubscribe anytime.
• Storage and security: waitlist and feedback entries are encrypted before they are stored (AES-256-GCM) on Vercel (our host). Only the owner can read them. IP addresses are used briefly, in hashed form, to stop spam, and are not stored.
• Visitor statistics: we count page visits with Vercel Web Analytics, which uses no cookies and doesn't identify you (no cookie banner needed). We see totals like pages viewed and countries, never who you are.
• Payments: handled by Lemon Squeezy (Merchant of Record). We receive your name, email, country and order details, never your card details.
• Referrals (when live): your referral code, which orders used it and whether a reward was given, so we can apply rewards and stop self-referrals. The person you invite never sees your email, only your code or link.
• Where data is stored: our providers (Vercel, Lemon Squeezy) may store data in the United States or other countries, with their own security protections.

Your choices

• Ask us to see, correct or delete your data anytime: teknobuddy.support@gmail.com. We reply within 30 days.
• We don't sell or share your personal information for advertising.
• We keep waitlist data until you unsubscribe or ask for deletion, feedback for as long as it's useful to fix the app (at most 2 years), and order records as long as tax law requires.
• Tekno Motion isn't made for children under 13. We don't knowingly collect their data.
• Canada: we follow PIPEDA. If you're elsewhere (for example India or the EU), you have the rights your local law gives you.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date above changes. Big changes are emailed to customers and waitlist members.
