Security & Trust

How to verify a ClipSalvage download is genuine, and how the app handles your footage.

Code-signing identities

Every ClipSalvage release is signed by Qloud LTD. Your operating system checks this automatically, but you can verify it yourself:

macOS

ClipSalvage is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple (macOS scans it and staples the notarization ticket to the app before you ever run it). To check the signer yourself:

codesign -dv --verbose=4 /Applications/ClipSalvage.app

You should see:

  • Authority: Developer ID Application: Qloud LTD (RK93245G56)
  • Team Identifier: RK93245G56
  • Notarization Ticket: stapled

Windows

ClipSalvage's Windows installers are signed with a code-signing certificate issued to Qloud LTD. Right-click the downloaded .exe → Properties → Digital Signatures to check it yourself. You should see:

  • Signer: Qloud LTD, Charing, Kent, GB
  • Issued by: Certum Code Signing 2021 CA (Asseco Data Systems S.A.)
  • Timestamped at the time of signing, so the signature remains valid after the certificate itself expires

Verify a download's checksum

SHA-256 checksums for the current release (v2.0.1). Compute the hash of your downloaded file and compare it against the value below — they should match exactly.

File SHA-256
ClipSalvage-latest.dmg 1dd7c412bab089b54f5e373f7f7bb3ac2f04b705be3a6ecee413c09a596e3a88
ClipSalvage-latest-windows-x64.exe fd6ffc6b6cbe4d375bd6fea5970147e830be78b4701d0c56cabeb85705dba1ac
ClipSalvage-latest-windows-arm64.exe 8e12fd892624214c63672d8c7d98c82d4e90719b841251ae40593d770550a154

To compute a hash yourself: shasum -a 256 <file> on macOS, or Get-FileHash <file> -Algorithm SHA256 in PowerShell on Windows.

How ClipSalvage handles your data

ClipSalvage processes everything locally. No video data, thumbnails, or disk contents are ever uploaded to a server:

  • Drive scanning and file carving run entirely on your computer
  • The on-device camera-angle AI model runs locally too — no image or video data leaves your machine to identify a camera angle
  • Recovered clips are written only to the destination folder you choose
  • The only network activity is license verification and app-update checks — never footage
