Privacy Policy

At IgVideoDown (accessible from https://igvideodown.com/), safeguarding the personal privacy of our visitors is one of our fundamental priorities. This Privacy Policy document comprehensively details the types of information collected, recorded, and utilized by IgVideoDown, as well as the rights available to our users.

1. Zero File Retention & Personal Data Non-Collection

IgVideoDown is engineered from the ground up as a stateless client-side utility and educational resource:

• No File Storage: We do not host, clone, archive, or retain any videos, photos, Reels, or audio files on our servers. Media streams are parsed directly from public social media delivery networks into the user's browser.
• No User Account Registration: We never require registration, email sign-ups, or social account passwords to browse our articles or utilize our web tools.
• Zero Credential Logging: We never log, store, or transmit your personal social media login credentials.

2. Cookies, Local Storage & Web Beacons

Like most modern web platforms, IgVideoDown utilizes standard browser storage technologies to deliver an optimal experience:

• Local Preferences: We use your browser's Local Storage exclusively to remember non-identifying client preferences, such as selected visual themes (Light, Cyber Neon, Royal Gold) and your local download history list. This data never leaves your device.
• Functional Cookies: Cookies may be set to remember user-selected interface languages and display configurations.

3. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Partner Policies

IgVideoDown displays advertisements served by third-party advertising networks, primarily Google AdSense. Google's advertising system relies on tracking technologies to display relevant advertisements to visitors:

• Third-Party Vendor Cookies: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites across the Internet.
• Google DART Cookies: Google's use of advertising cookies (such as the DoubleClick DART cookie) enables it and its network partners to serve personalized ads to users based on their navigation history across IgVideoDown and other online properties.
• Opting Out of Personalized Advertising: Users have the explicit right to disable or opt out of personalized interest-based advertising at any time. You can opt out by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you may opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info or the Network Advertising Initiative at optout.networkadvertising.org.
• Non-Personalized Ads for EEA/UK: For visitors from the European Economic Area (EEA) and the UK, ads are served in accordance with GDPR consent frameworks, providing choices between personalized and contextual non-personalized advertisements.

4. Server Log Files & Analytical Services

IgVideoDown follows a standard procedure of utilizing log files. These files log visitors when they access website endpoints. The information logged includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, date/time timestamps, and click counts. These logs are strictly aggregated for diagnostic monitoring, server optimization, DDoS mitigation, and traffic trend analysis. They are completely decoupled from personally identifiable data.

5. Third-Party Web Links

Our educational articles and tutorials may link to external websites of interest (including official platform documentation, developer repositories, or content tools). Note that once you click an external link, you leave IgVideoDown. We have no control over the content, tracking technologies, or privacy practices of external third-party sites and recommend reviewing their independent policies.

6. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Rights (EEA & UK Users)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you are entitled to specific statutory data rights:

• The right to access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data held by us (if any).
• The right to rectification: You have the right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• The right to erasure: You have the right to request deletion of your personal data under certain statutory conditions.
• The right to restrict or object to processing: You have the right to object to or restrict processing of your data.

7. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA) Notice

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents are afforded distinct privacy protections:

• Right to Know: California consumers have the right to know the categories and specific pieces of personal data collected over the preceding 12 months.
• Right to Delete: You have the right to request the deletion of any personal data collected from you.
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: IgVideoDown does not sell personal information for monetary consideration. To the extent that third-party advertising cookies are construed as a "sale" or "sharing" under California law, you may opt out via the Google Ads Settings link referenced above.
• Non-Discrimination: We will never discriminate against any user for exercising their statutory privacy rights.

8. Children's Information & COPPA Compliance

Protecting children while they utilize the internet is paramount. IgVideoDown is designed for general audiences and does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If a parent or guardian believes that a minor has provided personal details on our site, contact us immediately and we will promptly purge such records.
