dBCut – Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 15, 2026

dBCut is a panel (extension) for Adobe Premiere Pro, made by Alejandro Valenzuela Mancebo ("we"). This policy explains what data dBCut handles. In short: your media stays on your computer, and dBCut has no tracking or analytics.

1. Your media

dBCut analyzes the audio of your Premiere Pro sequences on your own computer, with the copy of FFmpeg included in dBCut. Your video and audio files, project files and sequences are never uploaded or sent anywhere.

To make a second analysis of the same media faster, dBCut keeps a cache of the analysis results (volume levels, not audio) on your computer, in %LOCALAPPDATA%\dBCut\cache. You can delete it from the dBCut menu (Clear the analysis cache) or when you uninstall dBCut.

2. License activation

To activate your license and check it about once a week, dBCut connects to the license service of Lemon Squeezy (api.lemonsqueezy.com), the reseller that handles your purchase. It sends only:

• your license key;
• a name for the computer: the Windows computer name plus a short code that tells your computers apart;
• the activation ID that Lemon Squeezy gave this computer, for later checks and deactivation.

Lemon Squeezy replies with the license status and the order details linked to the key (for example the product, and the customer name and email from the purchase). dBCut stores this on your computer, in %LOCALAPPDATA%\dBCut\license.json, so it can work offline. The License window shows the customer name (or, if there is none, a partly hidden email), so you can see which purchase is active. This file never leaves your computer.

You can free a computer's activation at any time from dBCut (⋯ › License… › Deactivate on this computer), or when you uninstall dBCut.

3. Your purchase

The purchase is processed by Lemon Squeezy, which acts as merchant of record. Lemon Squeezy collects the data needed for payment, tax and fraud prevention (such as your name, email, country and payment details) under its own privacy policy: https://www.lemonsqueezy.com/privacy

From Lemon Squeezy we receive your order details (name, email, country, product and order number). We use them only to:

• deliver dBCut and your license key;
• provide support;
• process refunds;
• meet legal obligations.

We don't sell your data, and we don't use it for advertising.

4. Support emails

If you write to us, we use your email and what you tell us only to answer you. We keep these messages as long as needed to help you and to meet legal obligations.

5. No tracking

dBCut contains no analytics, telemetry, advertising or tracking of any kind. Apart from the license service (section 2), it makes no network connections. The Buy dBCut button only opens the store page in your web browser.

6. Your rights

You can ask us to access, correct or delete your personal data, or ask questions about this policy, at alexxl5bussines@gmail.com. If you're in the EU/EEA or the UK, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority. For data held by Lemon Squeezy, you can also contact them directly.

7. Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update the date above. Significant changes will also be noted in the dBCut changelog.
