Privacy Policy

1. Introduction & Overview

YTDownloadKit ("we", "us", "our", or "the Service") operates the website located at ytdownloadkit.com. We are committed to safeguarding your digital privacy. This Privacy Policy details how we collect, handle, and protect your information when you access our online utilities, calculators, and educational guides.

By using YTDownloadKit, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Client-Side Processing Architecture

A core architectural foundation of YTDownloadKit is client-side local processing:

• When you input a YouTube link into our tools (such as the Video ID Extractor, Thumbnail Downloader, Title Generator, or Size Checker), that processing is performed locally inside your device's web browser using JavaScript.
• We do not record, transmit, or retain your video URLs or search queries on external databases.
• Uploaded local image files used in the Thumbnail Size Checker or Previewer are evaluated directly in your browser's memory and are never uploaded to any remote server.

3. Information We Collect

A. Log Files & Standard Web Diagnostics

Like most standard website operators, our hosting servers automatically log standard network traffic data when you load a web page. This non-personally identifiable data includes:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referring / exit pages
• Date and time stamps

This data is used solely for systems administration, server security monitoring, DDoS mitigation, and diagnostic performance analysis.

B. Direct Communications

If you contact us directly via our contact form or support email, we collect the information you voluntarily submit (such as your name, email address, and message contents) solely to respond to your inquiry.

4. Cookies, Web Beacons & Third-Party Advertising (Google AdSense)

We may partner with third-party advertising networks, specifically Google AdSense, to display advertisements when you visit our website.
