Capcut is today one of the most used free video editing applications on the market by content creators. Developed by Bytedance, owner of Tiktok, the application updated on June 12, 2025 its General conditions of use (CG). And, let’s say it frankly, it is a nightmare for the privacy of its users, who will probably want to go and see elsewhere.
Capcut now has unlimited and life access to all your content
Today we are unfortunately used to services that use part of our data to feed AI, marketing campaigns and other steps in order to generate profits. But Capcut here passed a course.
It is written black on white, when you use Capcut (and therefore necessarily accept these conditions): “You acknowledge and accept that you authorize us to download this content to our server and that you grant us by this, as well as to our affiliated companies, agents, service providers, partners and other connected third parties, an unconditional, irrevocable, non-exclusive, free, completely transferable (including sub-digitable), adapting, adapting, Derived, display, publish, transmit, distribute and/or store your user content to provide you with services.“”
Hi the crowd, if you use the CAPCUT assembly application, I invite you to delete your projects as well as to uninstall. In its new CGUs, the app now has the full possession of your creations for its pubs, without you having no recourse for their withdrawal.

In other words, all your content, including unpublished elements in an online final video, can be used for life by Capcut as he wishes. All of course without compensation. In addition, the service gives itself the right to him and his partners to use your username, your voice and your face to identify you, in particular to offer sponsored content.
Such practices, with impossibility of refusing, could well pose problems in Capcut if European or French law leaned over.
