The short version: your footage never leaves your Mac, there is no account, and the application works with the network switched off.
Last updated 16 October 2026
The three Kinelux tools, RushTag, Synchromatic and LumaSync, read your files where they are and do their work on your machine. No video, no audio, no file name, no project and no result is ever uploaded anywhere, except to Claude if you connect it yourself (see below). The models that describe your footage in RushTag run on your Mac's chip, not on our servers or anyone else's. Turn the network off and everything still works, including the licence check, once RushTag's models are downloaded.
The Kinelux plug-ins for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve talk to the application on your machine, through a local address or through files in its settings folder, and never beyond it.
There is no account to create, and nothing to log into.
Once at startup, the application asks this website for a small file saying which version is current, so that it can tell you when a correction is out.
That request carries the address of the file and nothing else: no licence, no email address, no identifier, no information about your files. Like any request to any website it reveals your IP address and the version of the application, which is what a download reveals too.
You can switch this check off under Help.
RushTag, and only RushTag, also downloads its analysis models from Hugging Face, Inc., in the United States: the first time you ask for them, then for each new model version you accept. Nothing downloads unless you asked for it or accepted it. Like any download, these reveal your IP address and the names of the requested models to Hugging Face; they carry no licence, no email address and nothing about your files, and the download library's telemetry is switched off. Once the models are on your disk, RushTag analyses without the network.
Outside those two cases, nothing leaves the application.
Kinelux can be connected to Anthropic's Claude application, through the Connect to Claude button on its home window. Nothing is connected until you do it, and the same button disconnects.
Once connected, and only when you ask it to, Claude can, while RushTag is open, search your footage, read its sheets (file names and paths, descriptions, tags, transcript excerpts), import footage, start an analysis and write XML files for your editing program; send shots to LumaSync; and with Synchromatic, sync the files you point it to and cut by speaker. For that it receives the names of the files, cameras and microphones, the sync results, and the moments when each voice speaks, never what it says.
Kinelux sends nothing itself: it answers the Claude application, on your machine, and that application passes what it reads to Anthropic, under your Claude account and under Anthropic's privacy policy, like anything you write to it. We see none of it.
What Claude never receives: your video and audio themselves, and the names that face recognition gave to people.
The purchase is concluded with Link, a Stripe service, which sells the tools in its own name: it handles the payment, calculates and remits the tax, which tells it the buyer's country, and keeps what it needs for accounting, tax and fraud prevention under its own privacy policy. We never see your card details.
What we do get from Stripe, and only when we look it up, is the email address you paid with and the reference of the payment. They are used for two things: to build your key, and to send it back to you if you lose it. Emails are sent through Resend, Inc.
This website is served by Vercel Inc., which keeps ordinary server logs for a short period. The application file itself is served by Cloudflare, Inc., through its R2 storage: downloading the application reveals your IP address to it, like any download, and it keeps ordinary logs.
Your email address is written inside the licence key and signed. That is what makes the key checkable offline, with no server and no database of buyers.
Because the key is derived from the payment rather than stored, we hold no list of customers of our own. Asking for your key again re-derives the same key from Stripe.
This website uses Google Tag Manager, provided by Google Ireland Limited, to know which pages are read and by how many people. Tag Manager is a container: it loads the measurement tools we configure in it, and today that is Google Analytics 4. We will update this page if we add another one, and we will never put advertising or ad tracking in it.
Data may be transferred to Google LLC in the United States under the Data Privacy Framework.
Nothing is loaded or stored until you accept. A banner asks you on your first visit; until you say yes, no Google script is called and no cookie is set. Refusing is as easy as accepting, and you can change your mind at any time through the Cookies link at the foot of every page.
What is measured, if you accept: pages viewed, how long the visit lasted, the kind of device and browser, and an approximate location. Your IP address is truncated before it is recorded. No advertising, no advertising profile, no cross referencing with other services. The data is kept for fourteen months at most.
Your refusal is remembered in your browser's local storage, not in a cookie: setting a cookie to remember a refusal of cookies would be absurd.
If you block JavaScript, nothing is measured at all. Google supplies an invisible image for that case, which counts the visit without asking anything; we have not included it, because it would fire precisely where the banner cannot be shown.
On top of the above, and this time with no banner, our host Vercel Inc. counts the page views it serves. We say so here because measurement that is exempt from consent is not measurement we get to keep quiet.
Why no banner: this count stores nothing on your machine, no cookie and no identifier, and it does not leave the host, which already sees every request since it is the one serving you this page. The banner rule is about what a site writes on or reads from your device, and this writes and reads nothing.
What it keeps: the page viewed, where the click came from, the device type and the country, aggregated. Nothing that names you, nothing that follows you from site to site, nothing that goes to an advertiser.
The video playing behind the home page title is not served from this website: it is hosted with Google, on its Firebase Storage service. Your browser therefore fetches it straight from there, which makes your IP address known to Google, exactly as any image hosted elsewhere would. Data may be transferred to the United States under the Data Privacy Framework.
That request stores nothing on your machine, no cookie and no identifier, and it only happens on the home page. That is why it does not depend on the banner: the banner rule is about what a site writes to or reads from your device, and this request does neither. It is still one more third party, which is why we name it.
The application measures nothing at all. No analytics, no tracker, no identifier. We do not know how many projects you make, how long you spend, or what you edit. What it sends is limited to the version file request, which switches off under Help, and RushTag's model downloads, which you trigger, both described above.
We keep no database. What exists is held by Stripe and Link as long as accounting and tax law require, by Resend for the short delay of sending an email, by Vercel in its server logs, by Cloudflare in its own for the application download, by Hugging Face in its own for model downloads, by Anthropic, under its own policy, for what Claude read if you connected it, and by Google, through Tag Manager and Analytics, for at most fourteen months if you accepted the audience measurement, and in the Firebase Storage logs for the home page video request alone.
