Privacy Policy

Overview

YouTube Video Download Online is a free tool that lets you paste a YouTube link and save the video as MP4 or the audio as MP3. We built it to work without accounts, without apps and without holding on to your data.

This policy covers the website and everything on it, including the downloader, the YouTube to MP3 and YouTube to MP4 pages, and the contact form. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here. If something is unclear, you can always ask us through the Contact page.

What We Do Not Collect

Plenty of services ask for a lot before they let you do anything. We don't. You can use the whole site without telling us who you are.

• No account or sign-up: there are no usernames, passwords or profiles.
• No files kept: the site does not host, copy or store any videos or audio. Files come straight from YouTube's video servers to your browser.
• No download history: we keep no record of which videos you looked up or which qualities you saved.
• No payment details: the tool is free, so we never ask for card or bank information.

The Video Link You Paste

When you paste a link and tap the button, that link is sent to look up the video live, so the tool can show you its title, length and the available qualities with their file sizes.

The link is used once, for that single lookup, and is never saved. The video details and download links are fetched fresh for each visitor and are not stored on our side. Once you close or leave the page, nothing about your search remains with us.

Information Collected Automatically

Like almost every website, ours runs on infrastructure that keeps standard technical logs. Our site is hosted and protected by Cloudflare, which may record basic details whenever a browser connects.

• Your IP address
• Your browser type and device information
• The date and time of the request
• The page that was requested

How Those Technical Logs Are Used

These logs are used for security and to keep the site running smoothly, for example to block automated abuse, stop attacks and fix errors. We do not use them to build profiles of visitors or to track what you download. The logs are handled and retained by Cloudflare according to its own privacy practices.

Google Analytics and Cookies

We use Google Analytics to understand, in general terms, how people use the site: which pages are visited, roughly where visitors come from and what kind of devices they use. These statistics are anonymous and help us improve the tool, for example by making it work better on phones.

Google Analytics uses cookies, which are small text files stored in your browser. Cookies may also be set for security reasons by Cloudflare.

You stay in control. You can refuse or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings, usually under Privacy or Site Settings. The downloader keeps working if you block analytics cookies. You can also install Google's official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which stops your visits from being counted on any site that uses Google Analytics.

Messages Sent Through the Contact Form

If you write to us through the Contact page, we receive the details you choose to include, such as your name, your reply address and your message.

We use this information only to read and answer your message. We don't add you to mailing lists, we don't sell your details, and we keep your message only as long as needed to deal with your request.

Third-Party Services

A few outside services are involved in making the site work. Each has its own privacy policy, which we encourage you to read. YouTube Video Download Online is not affiliated with YouTube or Google.

• YouTube and Google: the source of the video information and the files themselves. When you tap a quality, the file opens directly from YouTube's video servers in a new tab, so YouTube may see that request from your browser.
• Cloudflare: provides hosting, performance and security for the site.
• Google Analytics: provides the anonymous visit statistics described above.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal details through the contact form, please let us know and we will delete them.

Data Security

Because we store so little, there is very little that could ever be exposed. The site is served over a secure, encrypted connection, and Cloudflare helps protect it against attacks and misuse.

Still, no method of sending data over the internet is perfectly secure, so we can't promise absolute security. What we can promise is that we don't keep your links, your downloads or a history of your activity.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information. We respect them wherever you are.

• Access: ask what personal information we hold about you, if any.
• Correction: ask us to fix information that is wrong.
• Deletion: ask us to erase information we hold, such as a past contact message.
• Objection: object to how your information is used, including analytics.

How to Use Your Rights and Changes to This Policy

To make any of these requests, just send us a message through the Contact page and tell us what you need. We'll reply as soon as we reasonably can.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time, for example if we add a feature or a service we rely on changes its practices. When we do, the updated version will appear on this page. Checking back now and then is the easiest way to stay informed.
