Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2026Your privacy is paramount. This Privacy Policy outlines what information is processed when you use Media Downloader and how it is protected.
1. Information We Process
When you submit a URL for analysis or download, our servers process:
- The media URL submitted.
- Your IP address solely for rate limiting, security verification, and abuse prevention.
- Standard technical request headers (User-Agent, request timestamp).
We do not require user accounts, passwords, or personal identifying information.
2. Data Retention Policy
Temporary files generated during media processing and download jobs are automatically deleted within a limited retention window (typically 60 minutes). We do not maintain a permanent library or archive of user downloads.
3. Cookies and Local Storage
We use a secure, HTTP-only session cookie solely to provide Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection for form submissions. We use browser local storage solely to store your preferred color theme (Dark or Light mode).
4. Third-Party Services
When analyzing a media URL, our backend connects to the public endpoint of the target media host solely to retrieve format specifications. No tracking cookies or advertising profiles are exchanged.
5. Security Measures
We implement strict Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) filters, IP rate limiting, process isolation, tokenized download links, and automated file pruning to safeguard server resources and visitor privacy.
