Privacy Policy

ByteDownloader helps you fetch publicly available video links from supported platforms. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit the site, create an account, install the web app, or use download features.

By using ByteDownloader, you agree to the data practices described on this page.

When you use the site, we may collect technical information such as browser type, device type, pages visited, referral source, approximate country, and event activity such as download attempts, share actions, and app installs.

If you create an account, we may store your email address, sign-in method, and your saved download history.

If you use the site without logging in, we may still process limited technical and usage data needed to operate the downloader, secure the service, and understand traffic patterns.

We use collected information to operate the site, provide downloader results, save account history for signed-in users, improve reliability, detect abuse, understand which platforms people use, and measure installs, traffic, and engagement.

We may also use data to troubleshoot errors, maintain security, and improve performance across desktop and mobile devices.

ByteDownloader uses analytics and similar technologies to understand site usage. This may include Google Analytics and first-party event tracking for visits, installs, referrals, and download activity.

The site may use browser storage such as localStorage to save preferences like theme settings and certain app state for a better user experience.

We may rely on third-party services such as Firebase, hosting providers, analytics providers, authentication providers, and backend infrastructure providers to operate the app.

Supported social platforms and external media hosts control their own content, availability, and privacy practices. Their services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

When you submit a URL, ByteDownloader processes that link to fetch publicly available metadata and download options. Submitted URLs, titles, and related metadata may be logged or stored for product functionality, history, analytics, moderation, and abuse prevention.

You are responsible for using the service lawfully and for ensuring you have the right to access, save, or share any content you download.

We keep information for as long as reasonably needed to operate the service, maintain account features, analyze usage, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data and whether you use the site as a guest or signed-in user.

You can use much of ByteDownloader without creating an account. If you create an account, your saved history is tied to that account.

You may also choose not to install the PWA, limit browser permissions, clear your browser storage, or stop using the service at any time.

ByteDownloader is not intended for children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the service, please contact us so we can review and remove it where appropriate.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page and update the effective date below.
