1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how Free YouTube Thumbnail Downloader handles information when you use this website. We aim to collect only what is reasonably necessary to operate, secure and improve the service.
2. YouTube URLs and video IDs
When you enter a YouTube URL, the website extracts the public video ID so it can create thumbnail links. The submitted URL is not saved in a website database. A server request may be used to obtain the public video title from YouTube's oEmbed endpoint.
3. Server logs
The hosting provider may automatically create standard server logs. These can include IP address, browser type, requested page, time of request, referring page and technical error details. Logs are generally used for security, troubleshooting and performance monitoring.
4. Analytics
This website may use Google Analytics to understand aggregated traffic patterns, such as which pages are visited and what device types are used. Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
5. Advertising and cookies
If the website is approved for Google AdSense, advertising scripts may use cookies or similar technologies to serve, measure and limit advertisements. Where required, a Google-certified consent management platform may be shown before personalised advertising cookies are used.
6. Contact messages
If you contact us, we receive the details you submit, such as your name, email address and message. These details are used only to respond, investigate a reported issue or maintain necessary business records.
7. Third-party services
Thumbnail images are delivered from YouTube image servers. The website may also use Google Analytics and, after approval, Google AdSense. Those services operate under their own terms and privacy policies.
8. Data retention
Contact messages are kept only as long as reasonably necessary to respond and maintain appropriate records. Server log retention is controlled by the hosting environment and security configuration.
9. Children's privacy
This website is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly request personal information from children.
10. Your choices and rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights relating to personal data, such as access, correction or deletion. Contact us to make a request. We may need to verify the request before acting.
11. Policy updates
This policy may be updated when the website, legal requirements or service providers change. The latest update date appears at the top of this page.
