Privacy Policy
privtools.io is designed to minimize data collection and keep processing limited to service operation, stability, and abuse prevention.
This Privacy Policy explains what information is processed when you use privtools.io (“Service”), why it is processed, and what choices you have. If you do not agree, please discontinue use.
Summary
- We process only what’s needed to operate the Service, improve reliability, and prevent abuse.

Data We Process
The Service processes user-submitted URLs and returns download options or outputs. Depending on usage and security signals, we may process limited technical information to keep the Service stable and safe.
| Category | Examples | Why | Typical retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| User input | Video/page URL you submit | Process the request and generate download options | Processed transiently; not intended as a “history” feature |
| Technical metadata | IP address, user-agent, timestamps, request size | Abuse prevention, rate limiting, debugging, reliability | Short-lived logs for operations/security |
| Diagnostics | Error codes, performance metrics | Fix outages and improve stability | Short-lived; aggregated where possible |
| Support communications | Email you send us (optional) | Respond to requests and troubleshoot | As needed to address your request |
Note: exact retention may vary depending on security incidents, legal requirements, and operational needs.
How We Use Data
- Service operation: process submitted URLs and return results.
- Stability: monitor uptime, performance, and error rates.
- Abuse prevention: rate limiting, fraud detection, and blocking harmful traffic.
- Support: respond to user inquiries and investigate issues you report.
- Compliance: respond to valid legal requests where required.
Retention
We retain information only as long as necessary to operate the Service, maintain security, resolve disputes, and comply with legal obligations. Where possible, we minimize retention and use aggregation to reduce identifiability.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the Service and reduce risk of unauthorized access. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to minimize exposure through monitoring and abuse controls.
If you believe you found a security issue, report it via /contact/.
