What you can do

No setting found that directly changes this practice.

In the CapCut documents we searched for this finding, we did not verify a setting that changes this specific practice.

A broader option is available

Depending on where you live, you may ask CapCut to know, access, correct or delete the information it has collected from or about you.

That is a wider action rather than a privacy setting for this practice — it changes more than this, and it is not the same as turning this off.

Biometrics No direct setting CapCut may analyze your videos and images, including where faces and bodies appear

What this means

CapCut says it may collect information about the videos and images in your User Content, for example by identifying the existence and location of a face and other body parts.

Advertising & Profiling Control available in some regions CapCut says it does not sell your information for money but does share it for ads

What this means

CapCut says that although it does not sell your personal information for money, it does "share" it, as defined under applicable law, with third parties to serve you ads based on your activity across other sites and services.

Although CapCut says it does not sell your personal information for money, it does "share" it, as defined under applicable law, with third parties to serve you ads based on your activity across other sites and services.

Why this matters

Your information may still go to other companies for targeted advertising.

What the policy says

Although we do not sell your personal information for money, we do “share” your information where defined under applicable law to include the processing and disclosing your personal information to third parties for purposes of serving you advertisements based on your activity across other sites and services (“cross-context behavioral advertising” or “targeted advertising”). We do not knowingly sell or share personal information belonging to minors where restricted by applicable laws.
