What this interface keeps

Stored in your browser

• Your light, dark or system theme choice, saved in this browser's local storage under a single key.

Deliberately not stored

• The video links you paste and the keywords you search for. They are held in memory while the tab is open and discarded when you close or reset it. The one exception is a link that fails; see “When something fails” below. Keywords are never kept.
• Thumbnails. They are displayed through the extraction service's preview route and are not stored by this interface.
• Signed source URLs. They are resolved when you press Play or Download and held in browser memory only while playback or the direct download runs.
• Console logs of any of the above. Submitted links and media URLs are never printed to the browser console.
• Search or download history of any kind. Successful downloads leave no record.

What leaves your browser

When you submit a link, your browser sends it to this app’s own server, which passes it to the extraction service and nowhere else. When you play or download an available format, your browser contacts the source site’s CDN directly and receives the video bytes. That CDN can see your IP address. Page extraction and preview thumbnails may still use the extraction service’s proxy. There is no analytics script, advertising tag or third-party embed.

When you search by keyword, the words go to this app’s own server and on to the extraction service, which looks them up on each searched site. While you type, the same happens after a short pause to fetch suggested searches. This interface does not store the words; the sites and the service behind it may see them. If you rest the mouse on a search result, your browser plays that video’s short preview clip directly from the site’s CDN, which can see your IP address, the same as when you play or download a video.

YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok are different: they have no direct file address, so the extraction service downloads the video itself and sends the finished file to your browser. The video passes through that server, which may keep it for a short time (about 40 minutes) before deleting it. The server, not your IP address, is what those sites see.

When something fails

So that broken sites get fixed, a failed download is noted as a “ticket”: the site, the kind of error, the page link you asked for (with tracking and signed parts removed), the quality you chose, your browser name and version, and the time. It holds no IP address, account or cookie, and never the words you searched for. Failures that are your doing — a mistyped link, a private or deleted video — are not recorded. Tickets are read only by the people running this service and are closed once the site works again.

The service behind it

This frontend cannot make promises about the backend it talks to. If you are running it yourself, its retention and logging are whatever you configure. If someone else runs it for you, ask them.
