Privacy Policy
This privacy policy explains how TikTok Video Downloader collects, uses, and protects your information.
Overview
Overview
TikTokVideosDownloader.com is a free, browser-based tool that lets a visitor paste a public TikTok link and save the video, slideshow, or audio behind it. This privacy policy explains what information reaches us when you use this website, why it is handled that way, and what choices you have. It applies to this website and the online tools published on it, and to nothing else.
The service is deliberately built so that using it requires no account, no sign-in, and no personal profile. You do not create a username, you do not give us a name or a phone number, and there is no dashboard holding a history of what you downloaded. The less information a service asks for, the less there is to lose, and that principle shapes everything described below.
By using this website you accept the practices set out on this page. If any part of it does not sit right with you, the correct response is to stop using the site.
What We Collect
Information We Collect
We do not ask you to register, and we do not request personal details such as your name, postal address, or telephone number in order to use the downloader. The only information you actively hand to the tool is the TikTok link you paste into the input box, and that link is used for one purpose: to look up the publicly available media it points to and return a download option to your browser.
The link you submit is processed to fulfil your request and is not attached to a personal profile, sold, or published. We do not build a library of the videos visitors save, and we do not keep a copy of the media itself on our own storage after your request has been served.
If you contact us by email, we receive whatever you choose to put in that message — your email address, the subject line, and the body text. We use it to answer you and to keep a record of the exchange in case you write again about the same matter. Please do not send sensitive personal information, passwords, or account credentials by email; we will never ask you for a TikTok password, and any message that appears to ask you for one on our behalf is not from us.
Server Logs
Log Files and What They Record
Like the overwhelming majority of websites, this site uses log files. Our hosting infrastructure records a line for requests made to the site as a standard part of serving and protecting it. These logs are generated automatically; they are not something you opt into by filling in a form.
A log entry typically records the internet protocol (IP) address of the requesting device, the internet service provider associated with it, the browser type and version, the operating system, the date and time of the request, the page or file requested, the HTTP status returned, and the referring page where one is supplied by your browser.
None of these fields is linked to personally identifiable information by us. We use log data to understand traffic patterns, to diagnose errors and outages, to work out which pages are slow or broken, to detect scripted abuse and denial-of-service attempts, and to enforce the usage limits described in our terms. Logs are kept for a limited operational period and then rotated out in the ordinary course of running the servers.
Cookies
Cookies and Browser Storage
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store. Related technologies — local storage, session storage, and similar browser storage mechanisms — do much the same job. We use them only to remember preferences such as your selected tab, format, or quality option between visits, and to keep the interface working correctly across page loads.
This site loads no third-party scripts. There are no advertising cookies, no analytics cookies, and no tracking identifiers set by anyone other than this site itself.
You are in charge of cookies in your own browser. Every current browser lets you view stored cookies, delete them individually or in bulk, block third-party cookies, and browse in a private or incognito window that discards storage when it closes. Blocking cookies is a legitimate choice and the downloader will still work, but some preferences will stop being remembered.
Advertising
Advertising
This site does not carry advertising. No third-party ad network, ad server, or advertising script runs on any page here, so no ad network receives your IP address, sets a cookie, or places a web beacon through this site.
If that ever changes, this policy will be updated to name the networks involved and explain what they collect before any advertising goes live.
Third Parties
Third-Party Privacy Policies
This privacy policy does not apply to any other website you reach from here, including TikTok itself. Each of them operates under its own policy, and we cannot control or take responsibility for what they collect or how long they keep it.
Retrieving media requires contacting TikTok's own servers on your behalf. What TikTok logs about that request is governed by TikTok's privacy policy, not this one.
You can disable cookies through your individual browser settings. Detailed instructions for managing cookies are published in the help section of every major browser.
Purpose
How the Information Is Used
The information described above is used to operate, maintain, and improve the website; to process the link you submit and return the media you asked for; to understand in aggregate how visitors use the tool so we can prioritise fixes and improvements; to detect, prevent, and address technical problems, fraud, scraping, and abuse; and to answer messages you send us.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not rent mailing lists. We do not attempt to identify individual visitors from log data, and we do not combine log data with information from other sources to build a personal profile.
Security
Retention and Security
Submitted links and the temporary data needed to serve a download are retained only for as long as it takes to complete the request and for a short technical window afterwards. Server logs are retained for a limited operational period for security and troubleshooting, then discarded in the ordinary rotation. Email correspondence is retained for as long as it is useful for answering and following up on your enquiry.
The site is served over an encrypted HTTPS connection, and we apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the infrastructure. No method of transmission over the internet and no method of electronic storage is completely secure, however, so while we work to protect the data that passes through the service we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights
Your Choices and Rights
You can use the site without giving us any personal information at all. You can clear or block cookies in your browser at any time. Because the site carries no advertising and loads no third-party scripts, there is no ad-personalisation to opt out of. You can decline to contact us, and nothing on the site requires you to.
Depending on where you live, data protection law may give you additional rights over information that relates to you — for example the right to ask what is held, to ask for a copy, to ask for correction or deletion, or to object to certain processing. If you believe we hold information relating to you and you wish to exercise such a right, write to us at the address below and describe the request clearly enough for us to act on it. Bear in mind that because we do not operate accounts, in most cases we simply hold nothing that can be tied to you as an individual.
Children
Children's Information
Protecting children online is a priority for us. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and monitor the internet activity of the children in their care.
This service does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. It is not directed at children under 13, and such children should not use it or submit any information through it.
If you believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information through this website, please contact us immediately at the email address below. We will take reasonable steps to remove that information from our records promptly.
Scope
Online Privacy Policy Only
This privacy policy applies only to activity on this website and to information collected through it. It does not apply to information collected offline, through any channel other than this website, or by any third-party site or application that links here or is linked from here.
If you encounter another website, browser extension, mobile application, or social media account that uses a similar name, logo, or design, it is not covered by this policy and is not operated by us unless it is served from this domain.
Consent
Consent
By using this website, you consent to this privacy policy and agree to its terms.
We may update this policy from time to time — for example when we adjust retention practices, introduce advertising, or add a feature that handles data differently. Any revised version is published on this page and takes effect when it is posted, so we suggest reviewing it periodically. Continuing to use the site after a change is posted means you accept the updated policy.
