A Anything Downloader

Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 19, 2026

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Anything Downloader (the "Service") collects, uses, and protects information about you when you use the Service.

The Service is a user-directed conversion tool. It only processes content that you specifically request through URLs or files you provide. The Service does not source, host, or redistribute third-party content on its own initiative, does not circumvent any technical protection measures, and automatically deletes retrieved files from its servers shortly after delivery.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Account Information (Registered Users)

When you sign in with Google, we receive the following from Google:

  • Your email address
  • Your Google user identifier
  • Your display name and profile picture (if you have made these available)

2.2 Session and Identity Data

To operate the Service, we collect and store:

  • An anonymous session cookie identifying your guest or user session
  • A device fingerprint used to prevent abuse of free-tier credits
  • Your IP address, used solely for rate limiting and fraud prevention

2.3 Usage Data

For each download you initiate, we record the source URL, the quality bucket selected, the credit cost, and the result (success or failure). This data is used to maintain your credit ledger and to provide activity history in your account.

2.4 Content

We do not persistently store the media you download. Downloaded files are streamed to your browser and any intermediate copies are deleted from our storage within a short retention window.

3. How We Use Information

  • To authenticate you and maintain your session
  • To provide, operate, and improve the Service
  • To enforce credit limits, prevent abuse, and detect fraud
  • To display your account activity to you
  • To communicate with you about your account or the Service

4. Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only with infrastructure providers strictly necessary to operate the Service (for example, our cloud hosting provider), and only to the extent required to deliver the Service.

We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or court order, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, or comply with a legal process.

5. Data Retention

  • Account data is retained for as long as your account exists.
  • Session cookies expire after a period of inactivity (default: thirty days).
  • Transaction history is retained for as long as your account exists and is deleted when you delete your account.
  • IP-based rate-limit records are retained for approximately twenty-four hours.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you (available on your account page)
  • Delete your account and all associated personal data at any time
  • Sign out of the Service on any device
  • Request correction of inaccurate information

Account deletion is available directly on the account page. Deletion is permanent and cannot be reversed.

7. Cookies

We use only the cookies necessary for the operation of the Service. These include:

  • An anonymous guest identifier (ad_guest)
  • A signed session identifier for authenticated users (ad_session)

We do not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies.

8. Third-Party Services

We use Google Sign-In for authentication. When you sign in with Google, your interaction with Google is subject to Google's Privacy Policy. We do not receive your Google password or any information you have not chosen to share with the Service.

9. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. You use the Service at your own risk.

10. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to individuals under the age of thirteen. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under thirteen. If you believe we have collected information from a child under thirteen, please contact us so we may delete it.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
