1. Introduction

At YTD Downloader, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or use our video downloading services.

By using our service, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy. We operate with a "Privacy First" architecture, ensuring minimal data retention.

2. Data Collection

We believe in data minimization. When you use YTD Downloader, we collect only the absolute minimum required to function:

  • Server Logs: Standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, referral URL) for security and debugging.
  • Video URLs: The YouTube URL you submit is processed solely to generate a download link.
Important: We do NOT create a user profile of your download history.

3. Usage of Information

Any data processed is strictly used for:

  • Providing the core functionality (converting video to downloadable file).
  • Monitoring server load and performance to prevent crashes.
  • Detecting and preventing abuse (e.g., bot attacks).

4. File Storage & Logs

This is the most critical part of our architecture regarding your privacy:

Temporary Processing: Files are processed in our server's RAM (Random Access Memory). We do not store a permanent copy of the downloaded video or audio files on our hard drives.

Automatic Deletion: Once your download link is generated and the session expires (usually within 1 hour), all temporary data associated with that specific conversion is automatically wiped from our cache.

5. Cookies & Analytics

We use cookies sparingly. Cookies on our site are primarily used for:

  • Preferences: Remembering your UI settings (e.g., language or theme).
  • Session Management: Ensuring your download link remains valid for your current session.

We may use third-party tools (like Google Analytics) to understand aggregate traffic patterns, but these tools do not link data to your specific download history.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures, including:

  • SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted via HTTPS.
  • DDoS Protection: Our infrastructure is protected against malicious attacks.
  • Access Control: Strict limitations on who can access server infrastructure.
