Privacy Policy for Tubly Downloader
Last Updated: August 24, 2026
1. INTRODUCTION
Tubly Downloader ("we", "our", or "the extension") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our extension operates and clearly states our policy regarding user data, permissions, and security.
Tubly Downloader is built from the ground up as a 100% privacy-first tool. We do not collect, store, track, sell, or transmit any personal data, browsing history, or downloaded content.
2. INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USAGE
• Zero Personal Data Collection: We do not collect names, email addresses, IP addresses, location data, device identifiers, or any other personally identifiable information (PII).
• Zero Browsing Activity Tracking: We do not track, log, or record the websites you visit, the videos you view, or the media files you download.
• Zero Third-Party Telemetry: Tubly Downloader does not integrate with any analytics services, advertising networks, or external telemetry servers.
3. EXPLANATION OF BROWSER PERMISSIONS
To deliver its video detection and downloading functionality, Tubly Downloader requests specific browser permissions. Here is exactly how each permission is used locally:
a) "downloads"
• Purpose: Used exclusively to send detected media URLs to your browser's native download manager so you can save videos directly to your local storage.
• Scope: The extension only initiates downloads that you explicitly request by clicking the "Download" button.
b) "webRequest"
• Purpose: Used to inspect HTTP response headers (such as Content-Type and Content-Length) in real time while you browse.
• Scope: This allows the extension to identify streaming video content (e.g., MP4, WebM, M3U8) loaded dynamically by websites. The inspected data stays strictly inside the local background service worker and is discarded when the tab is closed or navigated away.
c) Host Permissions ("<all_urls>")
• Purpose: Video content exists across millions of domains on the web. Host permissions enable the extension's DOM content script and network monitor to function across any website where you choose to detect videos.
• Scope: The extension only operates in response to media elements and does not read, store, or transmit webpage contents, form inputs, passwords, or cookies.
4. DATA STORAGE AND LOCAL PROCESSING
• All detection routines, URL filtering, and size calculations run entirely in your local browser instance.
• Temporary data (such as detected video lists for open tabs) is stored in memory and is automatically wiped whenever a tab is closed or refreshed.
• No data is ever saved to external cloud servers or databases.
5. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES & LINKS
Tubly Downloader does not load external scripts, remote code, or third-party tracking pixels. When you click a download link, the media file is retrieved directly from the content host to your computer without passing through any intermediate proxy servers.
6. CHROME WEB STORE COMPLIANCE (LIMITED USE DISCLOSURE)
Tubly Downloader adheres strictly to the Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies, including the Single Purpose Policy and the Limited Use Requirements:
• The use of information received from Chrome APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
• We do not use or transfer user data for serving personalized, re-targeted, or interest-based advertising.
• We do not allow any human to read user data.
7. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or browser platform requirements. Any updates will be published with an updated revision date.
