Your files. Your data.

Video Downloader for Windows, the browser extension and Android · Updated 8 November 2026

Files and links

Downloaded files are saved on your computer. Your links and files are not uploaded to the developer. The websites you download from receive normal connection information such as your IP address, and have their own privacy policies.

Built-in browser and sign-ins

The built-in browser keeps its own website sessions on your computer. If “Use sign-ins from the built-in browser” is on, the app gives the sign-in cookies of the site you are downloading from to the downloader tool in a temporary file that is deleted when the download ends. You type your password on the website itself; the app never sees or stores it. You can clear all sign-ins in Settings.

Update and license checks

The app asks the developer's control service (hosted on Cloudflare) whether an update, license or notice applies. This uses a random device identifier and the app version, not your files or links.

Anonymous usage statistics

On the desktop app this is on by default and can be switched off at any time in Settings → License. When on, the app registers a random device identifier and tells the developer that the app was opened today, with the app version and operating system. It also sends update results and error reports (links, file paths and e-mail addresses are removed). Your files, links, file names and cookies are not sent. If you also choose a test (beta) update channel, that channel is on by default too and can be switched off in the same place.

Optional email sign-in

When the developer switches sign-in on, you can sign in with a 6-digit code sent to your email, or with Google. Your email address is stored on the developer's server so that your account can be recognised; codes and sessions are stored only as hashes. Google sign-in gives the app only your verified email address. You can sign out or delete your account in Settings → License; deleting removes your email and sessions from the server. Your files stay on your computer either way.

Android

The Android app has its own details, including optional statistics and private folder: read the Android policy.
