Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

At StatusDownloader, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website and services. Our core philosophy is built on anonymity and data minimization.

2. Data Collection

Personal Information: We do not require you to create an account, provide an email address, or share any personal identity details to use our public download tools. We do not collect names, addresses, or phone numbers.

Download History: We do not log or store a history of the URLs you paste or the media you download. Once a download request is processed and the stream is handed off to your browser, the information is cleared from our volatile memory.

Log Data: Like most websites, we may collect standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, time of access). This data is used exclusively for security monitoring, preventing abuse (rate limiting), and technical troubleshooting.

3. Media Storage

StatusDownloader acts as a pass-through service. We do not host or store any of the media (videos, photos, reels) fetched from social media platforms. The content is streamed directly from the platform's servers to your device through our temporary proxy which does not retain any permanent copies.

4. Cookies and Advertising

We use essential cookies to ensure the website functions correctly (e.g., maintaining your preferences). We may also use third-party analytics (like Google Analytics) and advertising partners (like Google AdSense) who may use cookies to serve relevant ads or analyze site traffic. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

5. Third-Party Links

Our service interacts with social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook. Please note that these platforms have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the data practices of these third-party sites once you navigate away from StatusDownloader.

6. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect the integrity of our site. For our Private Story Downloader, we use a client-side decoding method which ensures that your authentication data never reaches our servers, providing an additional layer of safety.
