YouTube Downloader
1. Overview
YouTube Downloader is committed to protecting your privacy. We operate a no-account, no-registration service — we do not require you to provide any personal information to use YouTube Downloader. This Privacy Policy describes what data may be collected when you visit our website and how it is handled.
2. Information We Collect
We collect minimal information necessary to operate the Service:
- YouTube URLs you submit: The URL you paste is sent to our server to retrieve video metadata and generate download links. We do not permanently store submitted URLs.
- Server logs: Our web server may automatically log standard access data, including your IP address, browser type, referring URL, and timestamp of requests. These logs are used solely for security monitoring and diagnosing technical issues and are routinely deleted.
- No personal accounts: We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or any other personally identifiable information.
3. Cookies
YouTube Downloader does not use tracking cookies or advertising cookies. We may use essential session cookies required solely for the technical operation of the website (e.g., to maintain your session state). These cookies contain no personally identifiable information and expire when you close your browser.
4. How We Use Your Information
Any data we collect is used exclusively to:
- Process your video download requests;
- Monitor and improve the performance and security of the Service;
- Diagnose and resolve technical problems.
We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share your data with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.
5. Third-Party Services
YouTube Downloader may use the following third-party services that have their own privacy practices:
- Font Awesome (CDN): Used to serve icon fonts. May log standard HTTP access data.
- Cloudflare (if applicable): Used for DDoS protection and CDN services. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services. We encourage you to review their respective policies.
6. Data Retention
We do not store video content on our servers. Submitted YouTube URLs are processed in real time and are not retained beyond the duration of your session. Server access logs are retained for a short period for security purposes and then deleted.
7. Children's Privacy
YouTube Downloader is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you are under 13, please do not use this Service.
8. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect against unauthorised access to or disclosure of the limited data we process. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Your Rights
Since we do not collect personally identifiable information, there is typically no personal data for us to provide, correct, or delete. If you have concerns about any data that may have been inadvertently collected, please contact us and we will address your request promptly.
10. Changes to This Policy
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
