Movie Maker Edit
Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 20, 2026
Movie Maker Edit is built to keep your work yours. The desktop edition runs entirely on your own computer and does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information.
Who this covers
This policy applies to Movie Maker Edit Pro, the paid desktop application distributed through the Microsoft Store and through Iacoletti Software's own stores, and to the free browser edition of Movie Maker Edit available at moviemakeredit.iacolettisoftware.com. It is published by Iacoletti Software (Fairfax, Virginia, USA).
The desktop edition (Microsoft Store)
Everything the desktop app does - importing clips, editing, transcription, adding a soundtrack, and exporting your finished movie - happens locally on your computer. There is no account to create, no sign-in, and no API keys.
- Your video files, audio, transcripts, and exported movies never leave your machine. There is no cloud upload.
- The app collects no usage analytics or telemetry of any kind. Iacoletti Software does not monitor, log, or have any way of knowing what you create or how you use the software.
- Projects you save are written as .mmeproj files in folders you choose, and application settings are stored locally on your computer.
- The desktop edition makes no network connections in the course of normal use.
Payment
If you purchase the app, payment is handled entirely by the store acting as merchant of record - Microsoft for purchases made through the Microsoft Store, or the applicable payment provider for purchases made directly. Iacoletti Software never sees or stores your card details.
The free browser edition
The free version that runs in your web browser also processes your media locally - your clips, audio, and exported movies stay in your browser and are not uploaded. The only information it sends is a small amount of anonymous, non-identifying usage data (such as counts of which features are used and basic, coarse location derived from the connection), used solely to understand demand and improve the app. This never includes your media, your transcripts, your project contents, or any information that identifies you, and IP addresses are not retained.
No selling, no sharing, no ads. Iacoletti Software does not sell or rent any information, does not share it with advertisers, and does not include third-party advertising or tracking in any edition of Movie Maker Edit.
Children
Movie Maker Edit is a general-purpose video tool and is not directed at children. The desktop edition collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
