Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2, 2026

Our Commitment to Privacy

At DownTube, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our video and music downloading service. The short version: we collect minimal information and respect your privacy.

Information We Collect

DownTube is designed with privacy in mind. We collect minimal information necessary to provide our service:

  • No Personal Information: We do not require registration, accounts, or any personal information to use our service.
  • No Tracking Cookies: We do not use tracking cookies or analytics that identify individual users.
  • URL Processing: When you submit a URL for download, it is processed temporarily in our servers and not stored permanently.
  • Technical Data: We may collect basic technical information such as IP addresses, browser types, and access times for security and performance optimization purposes only.
  • No Download History: We do not store any record of what you download or when you download it.

How We Use Information

The limited technical information we collect is used solely for:

  • Processing your download requests
  • Maintaining and improving service performance
  • Preventing abuse and ensuring service security
  • Troubleshooting technical issues
  • Complying with legal obligations when required by law

We do not use your information for marketing, profiling, or any commercial purposes beyond providing the download service.

Third-Party Services

Our service may interact with third-party platforms:

  • Source Platforms: When you submit a URL, our service fetches content from the respective platform (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, etc.). These platforms have their own privacy policies and terms of service.
  • CDN and Hosting: We use content delivery networks and hosting services to ensure fast and reliable service delivery.
  • No Data Sharing: We do not sell, rent, or share any user information with third parties for marketing or commercial purposes.
  • Advertisements: If advertisements are displayed, they may use their own cookies and tracking. We recommend using ad blockers if you're concerned about ad tracking.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the security of our service:

  • Secure HTTPS connections for all data transmission
  • Regular security audits and updates
  • Access controls and monitoring to prevent unauthorized access
  • Automatic deletion of temporary processing data

However, no internet transmission is completely secure. While we strive to protect information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

Since we collect minimal information, there is limited personal data to manage. However, you have the right to:

  • Use our service anonymously without providing any personal information
  • Request information about what technical data we may have collected (though this is minimal and non-identifying)
  • Stop using our service at any time without any consequences
  • Use privacy tools like VPNs, ad blockers, and private browsing modes

Cookies and Local Storage

Our service uses minimal cookies and local storage:

  • Essential Cookies: We may use session cookies necessary for the service to function properly (e.g., maintaining your theme preference).
  • No Tracking: We do not use cookies for tracking, analytics, or advertising purposes.
  • Browser Settings: You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies may affect service functionality.

Children's Privacy

Our service does not knowingly collect information from children under 13 years of age. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has used our service, please contact us. We will delete any information we may have inadvertently collected.

International Users

Our service is available globally. If you use our service from outside the country where our servers are located, your information may be transferred across borders. By using our service, you consent to such transfers.

Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting on this page. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates when the policy was last modified.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of our service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
