Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to VidSaveo (accessible at https://vidsaveo.com). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personal data you may share while using our services. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, your choices, and your rights under applicable data protection laws including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our practices, please refrain from using the site. We may update this policy from time to time — the "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.

Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information when you use our service:

Automatically Collected Data

• IP address — used for rate limiting, abuse prevention, and security monitoring.
• Browser type and version — helps us optimize the user experience across different browsers.
• Device information — screen resolution and operating system for responsive design improvements.
• Referring URL — the page you visited before accessing our site.
• Pages visited and actions taken — which pages you view, time spent on each page, and interactions with site features.
• Request timestamps — used for diagnostic logging and service reliability monitoring.

Information You Provide

When you paste a URL into our download tool, we process the URL to extract metadata and format information. We do not require you to create an account, provide your name, email address, or any other personally identifiable information to use the core downloading functionality. If you contact us via email, we collect the information you include in your message to respond to your inquiry.

How We Use Your Information

We use collected information for the following purposes:

• Process download requests and retrieve video metadata from supported platforms.
• Protect our infrastructure through rate limiting, abuse detection, and bot prevention.
• Troubleshoot extraction failures and improve service reliability.
• Generate aggregate, anonymized analytics to understand usage patterns and improve user experience.
• Serve relevant advertising through third-party ad networks (see Advertising section below).
• Respond to support inquiries, partnership requests, or legal questions.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

Downloads and Media Storage

VidSaveodoes not permanently host, store, or cache downloaded media files on our servers. Our tool discovers publicly available media formats and facilitates direct downloads from the original platform's content delivery network. Temporary metadata (video titles, thumbnails, format lists) and signed download tokens may be cached for a short duration (typically under 24 hours) solely to improve speed and reduce repeated requests to source platforms.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies — required for site operation, language preferences, dark mode settings, and cookie consent state. These cannot be disabled.
• Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors interact with our website using services like Google Analytics. These are optional and set only with your consent.
• Advertising cookies — used by third-party ad networks (including Google AdSense) to serve personalized or contextual ads. These are optional and set only with your consent.

You can manage cookie preferences through the consent banner shown on your first visit, or by adjusting your browser's cookie settings. Disabling non-essential cookies will not affect core site functionality.

Advertising and Third-Party Services

When advertising is enabled on our site, third-party vendors — including Google — may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or by visiting aboutads.info.

We may also use the following third-party services:

• Google Analytics — website traffic analytics and user behavior insights.
• Google AdSense — display advertising for site monetization.
• Cloudflare — CDN, security, and performance optimization.

Each third-party service has its own privacy policy governing data collection. We encourage you to review those policies for complete details.

Data Retention

Operational server logs containing IP addresses and request data are retained for a maximum of 90 days for security, abuse investigation, and legal compliance purposes, after which they are automatically deleted or anonymized. Cookie consent preferences are stored locally in your browser and are never transmitted to our servers. Analytics data is retained according to the respective third-party provider's retention policy (Google Analytics defaults to 14 months).

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data in the following limited circumstances:

• With third-party service providers who assist in operating our website (hosting, CDN, analytics), under data processing agreements.
• When required by law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request.
• To protect the security, integrity, and availability of our services.
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with notice to users.

International Data Transfers

If you access our services from outside India, your information may be transferred to and processed in India and other countries where our service providers operate. We take appropriate measures to ensure that data transfers comply with applicable data protection laws, including the use of Standard Contractual Clauses where required.

Your Rights Under GDPR and CCPA

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification — request correction of inaccurate personal data.
• Right to erasure — request deletion of your personal data (subject to legal exceptions).

Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EU/EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe that we have inadvertently collected data from a child, please contact us at support@vidsaveo.com and we will take prompt steps to delete such information.

Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include HTTPS encryption for all data in transit, rate limiting, input sanitization, and regular security reviews. However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Significant changes may be communicated through a site-wide notice. Your continued use of the site after any modification constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
