1. Introduction
SocioDownloader (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains that our desktop application does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
SocioDownloader does not collect, store, or transmit any of the following:
- Your name, email address, or any personal information
- Your IP address or location data
- Video URLs you enter into the application
- Download history or logs
- Any files you download
- Usage statistics or analytics
- System information or hardware details
- Browser history or cookies
3. How SocioDownloader Works
SocioDownloader runs entirely locally on your computer. When you paste a video URL, the application uses the built-in yt-dlp tool to download the video directly to your chosen folder. No data ever leaves your computer or is transmitted to our servers.
4. Local-Only Data
The following information exists only on your local computer and is never transmitted to us or any third party:
- Download folder preference — saved locally to remember your chosen folder
- Theme preference (light/dark mode) — saved locally to maintain your visual preference
- Application logs — stored in a debug.log file for troubleshooting (stays on your device)
5. Third-Party Services
The application communicates only with the video platform you request (e.g., YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook). This is the same as visiting a website in your browser. These platforms have their own privacy policies, which are not controlled by SocioDownloader.
6. Open Source Transparency
SocioDownloader is open source software. The complete source code is available for anyone to inspect. This means you can verify for yourself that no hidden data collection exists and the application does exactly what we claim.
7. Updates
SocioDownloader does not implement automatic update checks.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
9. Your Rights
Because we collect no personal data, there is no data to access, correct, delete, or export. If you have any concerns, you can:
- Review the source code
- Run the application with network monitoring tools to verify no external connections occur
- Contact us through our website
