This Privacy Policy describes how the "Video Downloader & HLS" Chrome extension (the "Extension") handles your data and privacy.
The Extension does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personally identifiable information (PII). We do not collect your name, email address, physical address, IP address, or any other personal details.
The Extension operates entirely on your local device. The technical processing involved includes:
Video Detection: The Extension analyzes the network traffic (HLS/DASH manifests) and the content of the websites you visit to identify video files available for download. This information is processed locally in your browser and is never sent to any external servers.
Local Storage: The Extension uses your browser's local storage to save your preferences (such as preferred video quality or download concurrency). This data remains on your device and can be cleared at any time by uninstalling the extension or clearing your browser data.
Downloads: When you initiate a download, the Extension fetches video segments directly from the content provider's servers to your local machine.
The Extension requires specific permissions to function correctly:
webRequest / declarativeNetRequest: Used solely to identify video stream URLs and adjust headers (like Referer) required for successful downloads.
scripting: Used to detect video elements on web pages.
storage: Used to remember your user-defined settings.
downloads: Used to save the final video file to your local computer.
offscreen: Used for background processing and merging of video segments.
We do not sell, trade, or transfer any information to outside parties. Since we do not collect any data from you, there is no data to share.
The Extension complies with the Google Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We only request the minimum permissions necessary to provide the video downloading functionality.
The Extension does not collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy, you may contact the developer via the email address provided on the Chrome Web Store listing page.
