Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 2026

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how DownSnap collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our website.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

DownSnap is designed to be privacy-first. We do not require you to create an account, provide an email address, or link your social media accounts. We do not store or track the contents of the URLs you submit for download.

2. Information We Automatically Collect

When you visit DownSnap, our servers may automatically log standard technical information, including:

• Your IP address (anonymized where required by law).
• Browser type and operating system.
• Referring URLs and timestamps of your requests.

This data is used solely for analyzing site traffic, preventing abuse, and ensuring the stability and performance of our API.

3. Cookies and Local Storage

We use standard web technologies like cookies and `localStorage` to improve your experience on our site:

• Preferences: We store your light/dark mode theme preference locally on your device.
• Consent: We store your acknowledgment of our Terms of Service in your browser's local storage to prevent showing the consent banner repeatedly.
• Analytics: We may use third-party analytics (such as Google Analytics) to understand how users interact with our site. These services may use cookies to track anonymous usage data.

4. Third-Party Links and CDNs

The files you download via DownSnap are served directly from third-party Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) belonging to the platforms hosting the media (e.g., Google, Meta, ByteDance). When you download a file, your IP address is exposed to these third-party servers. We have no control over the privacy practices of these third parties.

5. Advertising and Monetization

To keep DownSnap free for all users, we may display advertisements on the site. These ads may be delivered by advertising partners who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your device each time they send you an online advertisement to compile non-personal identification information about you or others who use your device. This privacy policy covers the use of cookies by DownSnap and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the service constitutes acceptance of the new policy.
