# Privacy Policy for TikTok Video Downloader

**Last Updated:** March 2, 2026

## Overview

TikTok Video Downloader is a browser extension that allows users to download TikTok videos directly from their browser with multiple fallback methods and intelligent video detection. This privacy policy explains how we handle user data.

## Data Collection

**We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.**

This extension:
- Does not collect personally identifiable information
- Does not collect health information
- Does not collect financial and payment information
- Does not collect authentication information
- Does not collect personal communications
- Does not collect location data
- Does not collect web history
- Does not collect user activity data

## Local Storage

The extension uses Chrome's local storage API exclusively to save:
- User preferences (auto-enable settings, video format preferences)
- Download history (stored locally for user reference)
- Debug logs (limited to 500 most recent entries for troubleshooting)

This data is stored locally on the user's device and is never transmitted to any external servers.

## Permissions Usage

- **Storage Permission**: Used only to save user preferences, download history, and debug logs locally
- **Downloads Permission**: Used only to initiate and manage video file downloads to the user's device

## Data Sharing

**We do not share, sell, or transfer any user data to third parties.**

Since no user data is collected, there is no data to share.

## Data Security

All data is stored locally using Chrome's secure storage API. No data is transmitted over networks or stored on external servers. Video processing and downloading happen entirely within the user's browser.

## Changes to This Policy

If we make any changes to how we handle data, we will update this privacy policy accordingly.
