Privacy Policy for Stories Downloader – CoolStory

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when using Stories Downloader – CoolStory (the “extension”). The extension operates as a browser-based tool and processes limited information strictly for enabling its features, maintaining compatibility with supported platforms, and ensuring stable operation. By installing or using the extension, you agree to the practices described in this Policy.

2. Personal Information

The extension does not request or intentionally collect personally identifiable information such as names, email addresses, passwords, account credentials, or similar data. Personal information is processed only when a user voluntarily provides it for support or communication purposes, and such information is used exclusively to respond to the request.

3. Technical and Functional Data

During normal operation, the extension may process technical data that arises from interactions between the browser, the extension, and supported web services. This may include network-related signals, browser and operating system characteristics, session-related diagnostics, and events generated by user actions. Such data is processed solely to enable functionality, ensure compatibility, prevent misuse, and improve reliability. It is not used to identify users or to create individual profiles.

4. Cookies and Local Session Access

Some platforms require authenticated access through session cookies. Where necessary, the extension may access such cookies locally within the user’s browser environment to perform actions explicitly initiated by the user. These cookies remain entirely on the user’s device and are not transmitted, stored externally, or shared with third parties. The extension does not use cookies for tracking, profiling, or advertising purposes.

5. Non-Personal and Aggregated Information

The extension may process non-identifiable and aggregated information related to overall usage and performance. This information is used to evaluate stability, detect functional issues, and improve the extension over time. Such data cannot be linked to an individual user. Optional analytics features may be disabled at any time through the extension settings, after which only minimal processing required for core functionality remains active.

6. Anonymous Identifier and Server Communication

Upon first use, the extension generates a randomly created anonymous identifier. This identifier is not derived from personal data, device identifiers, browser fingerprints, or hardware attributes and cannot be used to identify the user. It is used solely to distinguish anonymous usage instances and may be transmitted to our server only for the purpose of counting unique installations or usage sessions.

In addition, the extension may periodically communicate with our server to retrieve updated technical configuration data required for proper operation. This may include, for example, updated selectors, structural references, or header values needed to maintain compatibility with changes to supported platforms. Such requests are performed to ensure continued functionality and allow rapid fixes when platform interfaces change. These communications do not involve personal data and are not used for tracking or profiling users.

7. Circumstances of Data Processing

Information may be processed when the extension is loaded, when its interface is accessed, when download-related actions are initiated, or when internal components communicate with backend services required for functionality and updates. All processing is limited to what is necessary to perform actions explicitly requested by the user or to maintain operational integrity.

8. Third-Party Services

The extension may include links to or references to third-party websites or services that operate under their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the data practices of such third parties. Limited technical information may be shared with service providers only when necessary to operate or maintain the extension and subject to confidentiality obligations. Information may also be disclosed when required by applicable law.

9. Data Retention

Information processed by the extension is retained only for the minimum period necessary to support operational requirements and is removed when no longer needed.

10. Children’s Privacy

The extension is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13, and no information is knowingly collected from such users.

11. Notifications and Contact

In the event of a data-related incident that may affect users, notification will be provided through the extension within seven business days. If you have questions regarding this Privacy Policy or the extension’s data practices, you may contact us through the support option provided within the extension.
