Terms of Use
Last updated: 13 November 2026
HIDE is a video and photo editor for iPhone that blurs faces and adds a watermark on your device. These terms explain who runs it, what the subscription gives you and how it is billed, and what you may not do with it.
1. Who you are dealing with
HIDE is operated by IE Pavel Ilin, an individual entrepreneur registered in Georgia. Contact for anything in this document, including notices and complaints: hello@h1de.app. By using HIDE you accept these terms; if you don't accept them, don't use it. HIDE is not for people under 16.
2. The licence
The app is licensed to you under Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement. These terms add what is specific to HIDE: the subscription, the rules of use and the limits of the face blur.
3. Free use and Premium
HIDE has no account and no sign-in. Without a subscription you can edit and export; exports carry the HIDE watermark. HIDE Premium unlocks face blur in the exported file, export without the watermark, HDR export and 4K export.
Premium is an auto-renewable subscription, monthly or annual, bought through the App Store. The price for your country is shown on the purchase screen in the app and by the App Store before you confirm.
- Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase.
- The subscription renews automatically for the same period at the same price unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. The renewal is charged within the 24 hours before the period ends.
- Cancel any time in your Apple Account subscription settings (Settings › your name › Subscriptions). Premium stays active until the end of the period already paid for.
- On a new device or after reinstalling, tap Restore Purchases on the purchase screen. How to restore and cancel, step by step: Support.
- Refunds for App Store purchases are Apple's to grant: request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. Nothing here limits rights you have by law.
- Prices can change. Apple tells you about a price increase before it applies, and it never affects a period already paid for; you can always cancel instead.
4. Face blur and the watermark
HIDE finds faces automatically, on your device, and blurs the ones it finds. Automatic detection can miss a face: a small or distant face, a face turned away or partly covered, fast motion, poor light. When it cannot analyse a frame, HIDE blurs the faces it found in the frames just before (up to a quarter of a second earlier) and otherwise blurs the whole frame; a face that first appears on such a frame can stay sharp for that moment; before an export it tells you about clips where Hide faces is on but no face was found. Watch your export before you share it: you decide what you publish, and HIDE does not guarantee that every face is hidden.
5. What you may not do
- Break the law through HIDE.
- Edit or publish content you have no right to use, or use HIDE to infringe someone's rights.
- Make sexual, defamatory or deceptive material about a real person, living or not, or material that shows a person without their consent where the law requires it.
- Use HIDE to harass anyone or to invade their privacy.
6. Your content
Your videos, photos and exports remain yours. They are edited on your device and HIDE never uploads them, so we never receive them, claim no rights to them and do not use them to train anything. Details: Privacy Policy.
HIDE does not save projects: a project lives only while it is open, and closing it or quitting the app discards it. Save or share your export before you close a project.
7. Availability
HIDE is a small, actively developed product. Features can change, and we don't promise that the app will be available on every device or iOS version.
8. Liability
HIDE is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect losses, lost profit, lost work, or for content you publish, including a face the automatic blur did not hide. Nothing here removes liability that cannot be excluded by law.
9. Changes, law and ending
These terms can change; the date at the top will change with them. You can stop using HIDE at any time: cancel the subscription and delete the app.
These terms are governed by the law of Georgia, where the operator is registered. If you are a consumer in another country, this does not take away the protections your local law gives you. Let's try to sort out any disagreement by email first: it is faster than anything else.
