Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how StackPath Downloader (stackpathcdn.com, referred to as we, us, or the Service) handles information when you visit our website or use our tools. We built the Service around a simple idea: you should be able to save publicly available media without handing over more personal information than necessary. This policy describes what we collect, why we collect it, and the choices available to you.

2. Information You Provide to Us

Using the core downloading tool does not require you to create an account, register, or provide a username, email address, or password. The main input you provide is the public content link that you paste into the Service so it can locate and prepare the associated media for download.

If you contact us directly, for example through our Contact page or by email, we receive whatever information you choose to include in that message, such as your email address and the content of your inquiry.

3. Information We Collect Automatically

Like most websites, our servers and service providers automatically receive certain technical information when you visit the Service. This may include your IP address, browser type and version, device and operating system information, referring or exit pages, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. This information helps us operate the Service, diagnose problems, and understand general usage patterns.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our third-party partners may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to keep the Service running smoothly, remember basic preferences, measure traffic, and, where applicable, support advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time, though disabling cookies may affect how parts of the Service function.

5. What We Do Not Collect

We do not ask for or store Instagram login credentials, passwords, or any other social media account credentials as part of the core downloading service. We do not require you to link or authenticate any third-party account to use the Service, and we do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information such as financial account details, government identification numbers, or health information.

6. How We Use Information

We use the information described in this policy to:

• Operate, maintain, and deliver the features of the Service
• Diagnose technical issues and keep the Service secure and reliable
• Understand aggregate usage trends so we can improve performance and design
• Respond to support requests or copyright complaints you send us
• Comply with applicable legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service

7. Advertising and Analytics Partners

The Service may display advertising and use analytics tools provided by third-party companies to help keep the Service free to use. These partners may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to measure performance or, in some cases, personalize advertising. We do not control these partners' own data practices, and we encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

8. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable law requires a legal basis for processing personal data, we rely on one or more of the following: our legitimate interest in operating, securing, and improving the Service, your consent where required for certain cookies or similar technologies, and compliance with our legal obligations.

9. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with:

• Service providers who help us host, secure, and operate the Service, such as hosting and content delivery infrastructure
• Analytics and advertising partners, as described above
• Authorities or other third parties where required to comply with a legal obligation, protect our rights, or respond to a valid legal request
• A successor entity in the event of a merger, acquisition, or transfer of business assets

10. International Data Transfers

StackPath Downloader is operated from India, and the technical information described in this policy may be processed on servers located in India or other countries where our service providers operate. Where required, we take reasonable steps to ensure such transfers are consistent with applicable data protection law.

11. Data Retention

We retain automatically collected technical information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, such as security monitoring and service improvement, after which it is deleted or aggregated so that it no longer identifies you. Content links you submit are used to process your download request and are not retained as a searchable history tied to you.

12. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

13. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

14. Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, or to object to certain processing, such as advertising based on cookies. Many of these choices are available directly through your browser or device settings, such as clearing cookies or enabling private browsing. For requests relating to information you have sent us directly, such as a support message, please contact us through our Contact page.

15. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a Do Not Track setting. Because there is not yet a common industry standard for how to respond to these signals, the Service does not currently change its behavior based on Do Not Track settings.

16. Third-Party Links

The Service may link to third-party websites, including the original platform a piece of content was published on. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies separately.

17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal or operational reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page from time to time.
