The short version
YT Downloader does not ask you to create an account, log in, or share personal details to use the tool. The site itself sets no tracking cookies, and the only thing it stores in your browser is whether you prefer light or dark mode.
Like most websites, the web server keeps standard technical logs. If advertising is shown on this site, Google and its partners may use cookies, as described below, and you can opt out.
Information you give us
The only thing you enter into the tool is a YouTube link. The form checks in your browser that the text looks like a YouTube address and then shows the format and quality choices. We do not ask for your name, email address or any other personal details to use the tool.
If you write to us through the Contact page, we receive the details you choose to include, such as your email address and the contents of your message, and use them only to answer you.
Information collected automatically
When you visit, the web server records standard technical information such as the IP address, the page requested, the browser and device type, and the time. This is used to keep the site secure, fix errors and understand overall load. It is not used to identify you personally.
Your light or dark mode choice is saved in your browser's local storage under the name theme. It stays on your device and is never sent to us. You can clear it at any time from your browser settings.
Advertising and third parties
This site may show advertisements from Google AdSense. Where ads are shown, Google and its partners use cookies to serve and measure ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalised advertising through Google Ads Settings, and you can read how Google uses advertising cookies in Google's own policy. Both links are listed in the official sources at the end of this page.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not install software on your device.
Children's privacy
YT Downloader is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will remove it.
Your choices
You can use the tool without sharing any personal information. You can clear stored preferences in your browser, block cookies, opt out of personalised ads, and ask us what we hold about a message you sent.
Changes to this policy
When our practices change, we update this page and the Updated date shown at the top. Please check it from time to time so you know how information is handled.
