Motion Skills

Privacy Policy

We collect as little as we can. Last updated November 11, 2026.

What we store

  • Your email, if you subscribe to the newsletter or ask to hear when a skill in testing goes on sale.
  • Which skills you download and when, linked to your account, so you keep access to what you got and we can see what gets used.
  • Gallery submissions you send.
  • If you sign in: your Google account ID, email, name and profile picture, plus your purchases and subscription status as reported by Creem or PayPal. We never see your card details.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand which pages and skills people find useful. It records pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser, and actions such as copying a prompt or downloading a skill. Google Analytics sets its own cookies (_ga, _ga_*). You can opt out with Google's browser add-on or by blocking cookies for this site.

We also use Microsoft Clarity to see how pages are used: where people click and scroll, and recordings of visits. What you type into forms is masked before it leaves your browser, and your account details are masked too. Clarity sets its own cookies (_clck, _clsk). See Microsoft's privacy statement.

Signals from skills on your computer

Skills run on your own computer. When a skill's setup check, storyboard or render finishes, it sends us one anonymous signal: the skill's name, the step, whether it worked and, if not, a one-word reason (node, ffmpeg, chrome, disk, page, media, sound, timeout, options or error), plus the engine version and a random number the engine makes for each video project, kept in that project's .mo folder, so we can tell one video retried five times from five videos. It carries no account, no file, no path and none of your content, and we store it without your IP address. It tells us how many downloads become videos and where setups fail. To turn it off, set the environment variable MOTION_SKILLS_TELEMETRY=0.

Cookies and local storage

Besides the analytics cookies above, your theme choice is kept in your browser's local storage. A session cookie keeps you signed in. A first-party cookie (ms_ft, 90 days) remembers how your first visit arrived: the referring site, the page you landed on and any campaign (utm) tags. If you create an account, this is saved with it so we can tell which pages and channels lead to sign-ups and purchases. It holds nothing that identifies you.

Cloudflare (hosting, database, storage, bot protection), Google (analytics and sign-in), Microsoft (Clarity: how pages are used), Resend (email), Creem and PayPal (payments).
