Privacy & cookie policy

Last updated: 11 November 2026

This policy explains what information vid-down ("we", "us") processes when you use https://vid-down.com and the choices you have. We have tried to keep it short and readable.

1. What we collect

• Links you submit. When you paste a link, it is sent to our server so the video can be fetched. We do not store the link or the video once your request has finished.
• Technical logs. Like most websites, our servers briefly record your IP address, browser type and the time of the request. We use this only to keep the service secure, prevent abuse (for example rate limiting) and fix faults. Logs are deleted within 30 days.
• Preferences. Your light or dark theme choice is kept in your browser's local storage. It never leaves your device.

We do not ask for your name, email address or any social media login, and vid-down has no user accounts.

2. Advertising and cookies

vid-down is funded by adverts served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to show and measure ads, and, where you have agreed, to personalise them based on your visits to this and other websites.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
• You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings, or of many third-party vendors' cookies at aboutads.info.
• More on how Google uses information from sites that use its services: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you will be asked for your consent before advertising cookies are used, and you can change your choice at any time from the privacy link shown in that message.

3. Legal bases (EEA/UK visitors)

We process technical logs on the basis of our legitimate interest in running a secure service. Advertising cookies are used on the basis of your consent.

4. Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. Data is shared only with service providers that help us run the site (hosting and Google for advertising) and where the law requires it.

5. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, and to object to processing. To exercise these rights, email hello@vid-down.com.

6. Children

vid-down is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

7. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows the latest revision.
