Privacy Policy

Last updated: 15 October 2026

This page is a template provided with the source code. Have a qualified lawyer review and adapt it for your jurisdiction and your operation before you rely on it or publish it as your own policy.

Summary

We collect the minimum needed to run the service. We do not sell data, we do not build advertising profiles, and we do not ask for your platform credentials.

What we process

What we do not collect

Retention

Downloaded files and their job records are deleted after the configured retention window, and an hourly job removes anything past it. Server logs are rotated on a short cycle.

Cookies

The downloader itself does not require cookies to function. See the cookie notice for the current position.

Legal basis and your rights

Where the GDPR applies, we process data on the basis of legitimate interests in operating and securing the service. See the GDPR page for how to exercise your rights.

Sharing

We do not share your data with third parties except where strictly necessary to operate the service, or where we are legally required to do so.

Security

Requests are validated against an allowlist of supported hosts before anything is fetched, and file retrieval is guarded against path traversal. No system is perfect; report concerns through the report abuse page.
