1. Information We Collect

We are committed to minimizing the data we collect. Here's what we gather when you use VidSnatcher:

1.1 Information You Provide

When you use VidSnatcher, you may paste Twitter/X URLs into our service. We process these URLs to extract video content, but we do not store or log the specific URLs you enter beyond what is necessary for the immediate download process.

1.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect:

• Device Information: Such as device type, operating system, browser type and version, and screen resolution.

• Usage Data: Pages visited, time spent on the site, actions taken, and referring website addresses.
• Technical Data: IP address, browser language, and other technical identifiers used for analytics and security purposes.

This information is collected through standard web technologies like cookies, web beacons, and server logs. We use this data to understand how our service is used and to improve user experience.

2. How We Use Your Information

We do not use your information for advertising purposes beyond standard ad serving (if applicable) through third-party ad networks like Google AdSense, which have their own privacy policies.

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. However, we may share information in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting analytics, or performing other business functions. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information.

• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction, with notice provided to users.
• Analytics and Advertising: We use third-party analytics services (like Google Analytics) and advertising services (like Google AdSense) that may collect and process information according to their own privacy policies.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our site. These may include:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the website to function properly and cannot be disabled.
• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting anonymous usage data.
• Advertising Cookies: Used to deliver relevant advertisements and track ad performance (if applicable).
• Preference Cookies: Remember your settings and preferences for a better user experience.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling certain cookies may limit your ability to use some features of our service. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies, but doing so may impact website functionality.

5. Third-Party Services

Our site may use third-party services and link to external websites (e.g., X/Twitter, Google Analytics, Google AdSense). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies to understand how they collect, use, and share your information.

When you download videos through VidSnatcher, you are directly accessing content from Twitter/X's servers. We do not intercept, store, or modify the content during this process.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• Secure HTTPS connections for all data transmission
• Regular security assessments and updates
• Limited access to personal data on a need-to-know basis
• Encryption of sensitive data where applicable

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Retention

We retain your information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Analytics data is typically retained for up to 26 months. We do not store the Twitter/X URLs you paste or the videos you download on our servers.

8. Children's Privacy

Our service is not intended for individuals under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately, and we will delete such information from our records.
