Privacy Policy
We believe privacy is a fundamental human right. Here is our straightforward, plain-language commitment to how we treat you and your data.
We do not require accounts, sign-ups, or personal information. We do not track what you download. We do not store downloaded video files on our disks. And we will never sell, rent, or trade your data to third-party ad brokers. Period.
1. Who We Are
Welcome to freeyttomp4.com ("we", "us", or "our"). We are an independent, developer-driven online utility designed to help everyday creators, educators, students, and archivers download and format-convert public video content for offline personal use.
Unlike traditional download portals that monetize through intrusive tracking cookies and deceptive popup networks, our service operates with a privacy-by-design mindset.
2. Information We Never Collect
Because we do not have user accounts or paid subscriptions, we deliberately avoid collecting personal identifying information:
- No Names or Emails: You never need to enter an email address or password to use this converter.
- No Financial Data: We do not collect credit cards, banking info, or crypto wallets. The service is 100% free.
- No Download History Tied to Identity: We do not build behavioral profiles or link download requests to your personal identity.
- No Device Fingerprinting: We do not run invasive canvas fingerprinting or cross-site telemetry scripts.
3. How Video Processing Works (Zero-Disk Architecture)
One of the biggest concerns users have with web converters is: "Do you keep copies of the videos I download?"
The answer is an unequivocal NO. Our servers run on a real-time memory stream pipeline. When you click Download:
- Our backend connects to public YouTube streaming pipes on-the-fly.
- The requested video and audio streams are merged in RAM using FFmpeg fragmented stream piping.
- Chunks are transmitted directly to your browser as they arrive.
- Nothing is ever saved, cached, or permanently written to server storage drives. Once your browser receives the file, the stream terminates completely.
4. Data We Collect Automatically (Temporary Server Logs)
Like every website on the internet, our web servers and reverse proxies (Nginx & Cloudflare) automatically record basic technical request data strictly for network operations, security, and DDoS protection:
- IP Address: Used temporarily for rate-limiting (to prevent automated bot spam from crashing our servers for real humans) and geolocating server routes.
- Browser User-Agent & OS: Used to deliver mobile-optimized video streams (e.g. iPhone Safari vs. Windows Chrome).
- HTTP Referrer & Timestamps: Used for aggregate analytics to see total server bandwidth usage and error rates.
These server logs are rotated and permanently purged automatically. They are never merged with third-party databases.
5. Cookies & Local Storage
We do not use tracking cookies, retargeting pixels, or marketing beacons. The only storage we use on your device is your browser’s standard localStorage:
freeyttomp4-theme: Remembers whether you prefer Dark Mode or Light Mode across visits.
You can clear your local storage at any time via your browser settings with zero impact on site functionality.
6. Third-Party Services & Links
Our website interfaces with external platforms (such as YouTube, TikTok, and social media platforms) to fetch publicly accessible media metadata requested by the user.
When you interact with third-party platforms directly, their respective privacy policies and Terms of Service govern those interactions. We encourage you to review YouTube’s Privacy Guidelines and Google’s Privacy Policy.
7. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
freeyttomp4.com is a general audience technical utility. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately, and we will take prompt steps to remove it.
8. Your Rights Under GDPR & CCPA
If you are an EU or California resident, data protection laws grant you rights regarding personal information (such as the right to access, rectify, or delete your data). Because we do not collect or store user accounts, identities, or behavioral profiles, there is virtually no personal data retained that can be retrieved or exported.
9. Updates to This Policy
We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect technical improvements, new format features, or legal requirements. When changes are made, the "Effective Date" at the top of this page will be updated. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
