Split Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 6, 2026

Split is an iPhone app that cuts a video or audio file into parts under 20MB, and can join clips back together. This page explains what the app stores, and what it does not do.

What the app collects

Split does not create an account and does not upload your files. Cutting and joining happen on your iPhone.

• If you allow Photos access, Split can list albums, read the videos you pick, save cut parts or a joined video into the album you choose, and (when a split makes 11 or more parts) save a still photo after every 10th part so you can keep your place in Photos
• Settings you choose (appearance, default album, save options, bookmark stills) stay on the device in iOS UserDefaults
• While Split is working it keeps a temporary copy of the file, the cut parts, or the joined file on the phone, then clears them when you pick another file or reopen the app

Where it is stored

Videos, audio files, cut parts, joined files, and bookmark stills stay on your iPhone. Saved items that you choose to keep live in the Photos album you picked. Split does not send media to a server.

What we do not collect

• No advertising ID, no tracking across other apps
• No analytics SDKs, no crash reporters that identify you
• No contacts, location, or microphone recording
• No account password. You do not create a Split login

Photos access

Photos access is optional for sharing from the app, and required if you want Split to save parts, a joined video, or bookmark stills into an album. You can turn it off in iOS Settings. Turning it off does not delete items you already saved in Photos.

Children

Split is a file tool. It does not have a social feed, chat, or accounts. Use it with files you already have on the phone.

Retention and deletion

Deleting the app removes settings and leftover working files on the phone. It does not remove parts, joined videos, or stills you already saved in Photos. If you want help, email mikeshobes718@gmail.com.
