Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how CS Any Video Downloader (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use free-video-downloader.thecodesplitter.com and related services (the “Service”).

By using the Service, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the Service. For privacy questions, contact us at thecodesplitters@gmail.com.

1. Information we collect

1.1 Information you provide

• Video URLs you paste into the downloader so we can resolve available media formats.
• Support messages you send to thecodesplitters@gmail.com, including your email address and message content.

1.2 Information collected automatically

• Usage data such as pages visited, referring URL, browser type, device type, approximate location (from IP), and timestamps.
• Log data for rate limiting and abuse prevention (for example IP address and request path).
• Cookies and similar technologies as described in our Cookie Policy.

1.3 What we do not intentionally store

We do not create user accounts for basic downloads. We do not intentionally keep copies of downloaded videos on our servers. Media is resolved on demand and may be temporarily proxied to your browser.

2. How we use information

• Provide, operate, and improve the downloader Service
• Respond to support and legal requests
• Prevent fraud, spam, and abuse
• Display advertising (including through Google AdSense) and measure ad performance
• Comply with applicable laws

3. Advertising and Google AdSense

We may use third-party advertising partners, including Google AdSense, to show ads on the Service. Google and its partners may use cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites.

• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can also visit aboutads.info/choices to opt out of personalized ads from participating companies.

For more information about how Google processes data, see Google’s Privacy Policy and How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps.

4. Third-party services

To prepare download options we may contact third-party media services and content delivery networks on your behalf. Those services may receive the URL you submitted and standard technical request headers. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

Analytics or hosting providers (if used) may process usage data on our behalf under appropriate terms.

5. Legal bases (EEA/UK users)

Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies, we process data based on:

• Legitimate interests — operating a secure, abuse-free Service and measuring aggregate usage
• Consent — non-essential cookies and personalized advertising where required
• Contract / request — fulfilling download and support requests you initiate
• Legal obligation — when we must retain or disclose information to comply with law

6. Data retention

Server logs used for rate limiting and security are retained only as long as reasonably needed (typically a short rolling window). Support emails are kept as long as needed to resolve your request and meet legal requirements. We do not permanently archive downloaded media files.

7. Children’s privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact thecodesplitters@gmail.com and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

We do not knowingly serve personalized ads to users under 16 where prohibited, and we configure AdSense age-restricted settings as required by Google policies when applicable.

8. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to object to certain processing or withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, email thecodesplitters@gmail.com.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

10. International transfers

Information may be processed in countries other than your own (including where our hosting providers and advertising partners operate). Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

11. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the Service after changes means you accept the updated Policy.
