Privacy and subtitle data
Content maintained by CueRefinePublished Updated
The free subtitle tools process your files in your browser.
Local processing
The free conversion, timing and text tools process subtitle contents and filenames on your device. The local review lab also runs on this device. Opening a file does not submit it for a server model review.
Drafts on this device
The current file, original bytes, saved changes, unfinished text edits and recent undo history are stored in IndexedDB in this browser. If you use the review lab, its settings, terms, background, suggestions and decisions are stored with the draft too. Drafts can remain after you close the page. They are not a cloud backup, and browser cleanup or private browsing may remove them.
Clearing your work
Use Clear draft to remove the working copy from this browser. Your original file and files you have downloaded are unaffected. Shared devices can expose locally saved drafts to other people using the same browser profile.
Site requests
Your browser requests application pages, code, fonts and the sample file from the site. Fonts are hosted with the app. Hosting may process ordinary request metadata such as an IP address; subtitle contents and filenames are not included. This site does not use session replay.
Optional Google Analytics
When enabled on the public site, Google Analytics loads only after you allow it. It measures public page visits and successful subtitle export actions, using a browser cookie and technical data such as device and browser information. Google receives the network information needed to handle those requests, including your IP address. We do not include subtitle contents, filenames, account details, URL query strings or fragments in our analytics events. Advertising signals and personalization are disabled. Private review and login routes are excluded. You can decline or withdraw through Analytics preferences in the footer; the tools work without analytics. Your choice is stored in this browser for up to 180 days. Withdrawing stops subsequent tracking and removes the Analytics cookies set by this site; it does not erase data already received by Google.
Free tools and optional services
The free conversion, timing and text tools do not submit subtitle contents to cloud storage or model providers. The separate private review workflow has explicit upload and retention information before submission. Clearing a local draft does not delete a previously submitted private job.
Optional private model review
The invite-only model review requires configured services, a model and an approved budget before new model calls can run. Submitting a job explicitly uploads the saved subtitle snapshot, filename and review settings to private application storage. Necessary text and context are sent to the model provider. Completed results are recoverable for 7 days, with early deletion available. Access stops on deletion or expiry; physical object cleanup retries in the background. Provider and backup retention are separate. Accept/reject decisions and later edits remain in your local draft.
