Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 1, 2024

1. Introduction

Welcome to ytthumbnaildownloader.space ("we," "our," or "us"). We operate the YouTube Thumbnail Downloader tool available at https://ytthumbnaildownloader.space. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our service.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

We are committed to user privacy. Our service is designed to function without collecting personal data:

  • We do NOT collect your name, email address, or contact information
  • We do NOT store the YouTube URLs you submit
  • We do NOT store downloaded thumbnails on our servers
  • We do NOT use tracking cookies or analytics that identify individuals
  • We do NOT require registration or account creation

3. How Our Tool Works

Our YouTube Thumbnail Downloader works by:

  • Processing YouTube URLs in real-time to extract video IDs
  • Generating thumbnail URLs using YouTube's public image hosting
  • Serving thumbnail downloads directly to your browser
  • All data processing occurs in your browser or temporarily in server memory during the request

4. Server Logs

Like most websites, our hosting provider may collect standard server logs for security and operational purposes. These logs may include:

  • IP addresses (anonymized where possible)
  • Request timestamps
  • Browser type and version
  • Requested URLs

These logs are automatically deleted after 30 days and are not used to identify individual users.

5. Third-Party Services

Our tool interacts with YouTube (Google LLC) to fetch thumbnails. When you use our service:

  • Your browser makes requests directly to YouTube's image servers (img.youtube.com)
  • YouTube may collect data according to their Privacy Policy
  • We recommend reviewing YouTube's privacy practices at https://policies.google.com/privacy

6. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with information, please contact us.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect against unauthorized access to our systems. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The "Last Updated" date at the top indicates when revisions were made. Continued use of our service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
