Security Overview

FlareCut Studio implements robust security measures to protect your data, content, and privacy. Our security architecture is built on industry best practices and continuously monitored to ensure the highest level of protection.

Data Protection

Data Isolation

Every user's data is completely isolated within our system. You can only access your own projects, media files, and account information. Our architecture ensures that cross-user data access is impossible.

Secure Media Access

All media files are protected with signed URLs that automatically expire:

  • Preview URLs: Expire after 2 hours
  • Download URLs: Expire after 24 hours
  • Temporary Access: No permanent public links

Encrypted Data Transmission

All data transmission between your device and our servers is encrypted using HTTPS protocols. This ensures that your content and personal information remain secure during upload, processing, and download.

Authentication & Access Control

Firebase Authentication

We use Firebase Authentication for secure account management, providing:

  • Secure user registration and login processes
  • Password encryption and secure storage
  • Session management with automatic timeouts
