Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how the browser extension Video Downloader MEGA (“we”, “our”, “us”, or “the extension”) collects, uses, and protects information during its normal operation.

Our primary objective is to ensure functionality while maintaining user privacy, transparency, and technical integrity. The extension is designed around the principle of data minimization — we avoid collecting any personal data that is not essential to core functionality.

Audience and Age Limitation

This extension is intended for general audiences and not for children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect, process, or retain data from minors. If such information is ever discovered, it will be permanently deleted as soon as reasonably possible.

Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect or request personally identifiable information (PII) such as:

• full names, email addresses, or phone numbers;

• login credentials or passwords;

• payment information or billing data;

• contact lists or browsing history.

The extension functions completely without any user registration or account connection.

Technical Events and Limited Data Logging

For stability and diagnostic purposes, the extension may automatically register certain anonymous technical events, including (but not limited to):

• first installation or update of the extension;

• initiation of a video download or related feature;

• interaction with defined functional modules;

• unexpected errors, timeouts, or failures.

These events are processed automatically and contain no personally identifiable or traceable elements.

Type of Data we May Collect

When such events occur, the collected information may include:

• anonymized error codes or logs;

• basic performance metrics (e.g., load times, success/failure counts);

• randomly generated session identifiers used only for distinguishing runtime instances.

These identifiers are non-persistent and contain no user or device data.

Purpose of possible Collection

All technical and anonymized information may be used used solely for internal purposes, namely to:

• ensure operational reliability and compatibility;

• detect and resolve functional issues;

• protect against potential abuse or misuse;

• improve future versions of the extension.

We do not use this information for advertising, profiling, or marketing purposes.

Cookies and Local Storage

Some extension components may rely on cookies or browser local storage to remember preferences, improve performance, or maintain functionality between sessions.

These mechanisms are used strictly for technical continuity. Disabling them may result in limited functionality or reduced user experience.

Third-Party Services and Processors

We may use external, privacy-compliant service providers (for example, analytics or diagnostics platforms) to process anonymous technical data on our behalf.

Such partners operate under confidentiality agreements and have no independent right to use or share the information.

We do not sell, rent, or trade any information under any circumstances.

In rare cases, we may disclose minimal data if legally compelled by a valid court order or governmental request.

External Websites and References

The extension may display or redirect users to external websites, services, or media platforms for convenience or functionality.

Please note that those third-party sites operate under their own privacy policies and practices, which are beyond our control.

We encourage users to review those respective policies before interacting with external content.

Do Not Track Signals

Because certain technical features depend on cookies and equivalent mechanisms, this extension does not currently respond to “Do Not Track” signals.
However, no user profiling or targeted advertising is performed regardless of that setting.

Data Retention and Security

Any collected technical information is stored only as long as necessary to fulfill its diagnostic purpose and then automatically deleted or aggregated.

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration of any stored data.

Data Breach Procedure

If a data incident involving collected technical information ever occurs, users will be notified within 7 business days via in-extension notifications or equivalent means.

Corrective measures will be implemented promptly to mitigate any impact.

Legal Compliance

We make reasonable efforts to comply with applicable data protection laws, including but not limited to CalOPPA and general privacy principles under the GDPR framework, ensuring:

• transparent access to this Privacy Policy from within the extension;

• the ability to use the extension without disclosing identity;

• timely updates when material changes occur.

Communications

In rare circumstances, we may send communications (for example, critical security notices or important updates).

Users may opt out of non-essential communications at any time, and such requests will be respected immediately.

Policy Updates

We may update or revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect new legal requirements, feature changes, or improvements in our practices.
The most current version will always be accessible within the extension or its official listing.

By continuing to use the extension after updates, you acknowledge and accept the revised terms.
