Who owns your videos, and using them on YouTube
What the Terms say about ownership, business use and YouTube, and what the app keeps for you after a plan ends.
Reviewed
The Terms of Service say who owns the videos you make and who is responsible for them. This guide repeats the main points in plain words. It is not legal advice, and the Terms are the text that applies.
Who owns your videos
The Terms have two rules:
- What you submit. You keep ownership of the text, images, audio, video, and other materials that you submit. This is subject to the rights that you give LongStories to operate the service.
- What LongStories makes for you. Between you and LongStories, you own the generated videos, images, audio, scripts, captions, and other materials. This applies as far as the law and the terms of third-party providers permit.
Publish, sell, or use a video for a business
The Terms say that the service is for creators and businesses, among other users. They also say that you alone are responsible for the videos that you publish, distribute, license, sell, or use in another way.
Your part, from the Terms:
- Have the rights and permissions for everything you submit, and for the use and distribution of your videos.
- Review each video before you use or share it. Generated content can be inaccurate, and it can infringe the rights of another person. LongStories does not guarantee it, and you take the risk when you publish it.
- Do not make or publish prohibited content, for example content that infringes the intellectual property rights of other people.
Monetized YouTube channels
YouTube decides which channels and videos can earn money, with its own rules. LongStories cannot make that decision or tell you its result.
- When you use the YouTube features of LongStories, the Terms tell you to obey YouTube's terms and policies.
- To get the file, open My Videos, select the button with three dots on the video, then Download Video. Then upload the file on YouTube. See Download and export your video.
- You can also post from LongStories. See Post your video to YouTube. The post window has the checkbox This video has realistic altered or AI-generated content that needs a YouTube disclosure. Select it when this is true for your video.
After your plan ends
This section tells you what the app does. For your rights, read the Terms of Service.
- Your videos stay in My Videos. Canceling a plan does not delete your account. The Privacy Policy says that LongStories keeps your projects and generated content while your account is active, unless you delete them.
- Download Video continues to work without a paid plan. It gives you the last rendered version of the video.
- A song file needs a paid plan. Clip downloads need a plan that includes them. Download these files before your plan ends.
To end a plan, see Cancel your subscription.
Your content and privacy
The Privacy Policy says:
- To make your videos, LongStories can send your prompts, scripts, uploaded media, and generated results to the companies that provide its AI, media, and storage services.
- LongStories does not sell or rent your personal data.
- Data from a connected YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, or Instagram account is not used to train AI.
