Text Message (SMS) Notifications

If you opt in, Reel-E sends account notification text messages (for example, when a video finishes rendering or before a free trial ends) and occasional marketing text messages with tips and offers. Consent is optional, is not a condition of purchase, and is collected with an unchecked checkbox alongside the exact terms you agree to. Marketing messages are limited to 4 per month and are only sent between 9am and 8pm in your local time. Message and data rates may apply and message frequency varies. Reply STOP to any message to opt out of all texts and HELP for help; you can also turn texts off in your account settings at any time. We never sell or share your phone number with third parties for their marketing. Mobile opt-in data is not shared with third parties except our SMS delivery provider (Telnyx) solely to deliver the messages.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide and improve the Service
• Process your payments
• Send transactional emails (account, videos, receipts)
• Respond to support requests
• Analyze usage patterns to improve the Service
• Measure the performance of our advertising campaigns
• Detect and prevent fraud

3. Service Providers

We work with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the Service. These providers process data on our behalf and are contractually obligated to protect your information. Categories of service providers include:

• Payment Processors: Process subscription payments and handle billing information securely
• AI and Video Processing Services: Generate motion effects and render videos from your uploaded photos
• Cloud Infrastructure Providers: Store and deliver your uploaded content and generated videos
• Email Delivery Services: Send transactional emails such as account notifications and video completion alerts
• Analytics Services: Help us understand how users interact with the Service to improve functionality
• Advertising and Measurement Services: Attribute visits, signups, trials, and subscriptions to our campaigns. Depending on the campaign, we may provide hashed account identifiers, ad click references, device and browser information, IP address, and conversion details for measurement and deduplication.

We carefully select service providers who maintain appropriate security measures and comply with applicable data protection regulations. These providers are only permitted to use your data as necessary to perform services on our behalf.

4. Data Retention

• Account data: Retained while account is active
• Uploaded content: Retained while your subscription is active, and for 12 months after it ends, unless you delete it or close your account sooner.
• Generated videos: Retained for as long as your subscription is active. If your subscription ends, projects are retained for 12 more months and then permanently deleted. Trial projects are deleted 180 days after an unconverted trial ends, and projects from accounts that never subscribed are deleted 90 days after creation. We send email notice before deletion. Deleted content may persist in our secure backups for a limited period, and copies cached outside our systems (for example by search engines, social platform link previews, or your browser) may remain accessible for a period after deletion until those caches expire.
• Analytics data: Aggregated and anonymized over time

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your data, including:

However, no method of transmission is 100% secure.
