Privacy Policy for Video Downloader PoVim
This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when using Video Downloader PoVim (the "extension"). The extension operates within the browser environment and processes limited data solely to deliver its functionality, maintain compatibility with supported platforms, and ensure reliable operation. By installing or using the extension, you agree to the practices described below.
The extension does not request or intentionally collect personally identifiable information, including names, email addresses, passwords, account credentials, or similar data. Personal information is processed only if a user voluntarily provides it when contacting support, and such information is used exclusively to respond to the inquiry.
During normal use, the extension may process technical data generated by interactions between the browser, the extension, and supported web services. This may include network-related indicators, browser and operating system characteristics, session diagnostics, and events triggered by user actions. This data is processed strictly for operational purposes such as enabling features, maintaining compatibility, preventing misuse, and improving stability. It is not used to identify users or build user profiles.
Some platforms require authenticated access through session cookies. Where necessary, the extension may access such cookies locally within the user's browser to perform actions explicitly initiated by the user. These cookies remain on the user's device and are not transmitted, stored externally, or shared with third parties. Cookies are not used for tracking, profiling, or advertising.
The extension may process non-identifiable, aggregated information related to usage and performance to evaluate reliability and improve functionality. This information cannot be linked to any individual user. Optional analytics features may be disabled at any time via the extension settings, after which only minimal processing required for core functionality remains active.
Upon first use, the extension generates a random anonymous UID. This UID is used exclusively for internal statistics to count unique users and is not linked to personal data, user identity, or user actions in any way.
The extension may also communicate with our servers to retrieve data for advertising.
Information may be processed when the extension is loaded, when its interface is accessed, when download-related actions are initiated, or when internal components interact with backend services required for updates and functionality. All processing is limited to what is necessary to perform user-requested actions or maintain operational integrity.
To support continued development and keep the extension available free of charge, Video Downloader PoVim may occasionally activate a monetization mechanism. In such cases, the extension may open a separate browser tab containing promotional content related to partner websites or services.
This mechanism does not modify the content of websites you visit, does not interfere with normal browsing behavior, and does not involve the collection, use, or association of personal data. Browsing history and user activity are not sold or shared for advertising purposes.
Users may disable promotional content at any time through the extension settings.
The extension may contain links 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.
Information is retained only for the minimum period necessary to support operational requirements and is removed when no longer needed.
The extension is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13, and no information is knowingly collected from such users.
In the event of a data-related incident that may affect users, notification will be provided through the extension within seven business days. Questions regarding this Privacy Policy or data practices may be submitted through the support option available within the extension.
