Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 2026 Last Updated: July 2026

1. Strict Zero-Data Collection Policy

At V-Down, your privacy is our highest priority. V-Down is a free, non-commercial application that does not require user registration or account creation. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information, browsing history, download history, or usage data as part of the application's normal operation. If you voluntarily contact us through the Contact Us page, the information you provide (such as your name, email address, and message) is used solely to respond to your inquiry. This information is not sold, used for advertising or analytics, or shared with third parties except when required to process and deliver your message. All core functionality is designed to operate locally on your device.

2. Local Media Processing

All media detection, video analysis, and download processing are performed entirely on your local device. V-Down does not route your downloads, browsing activity, or network traffic through our servers or any third-party infrastructure. We do not collect, store, or retain information about the media you download.

3. Browser Extension Permissions (VDX)

The VDX browser extension requests permissions such as "webRequest", "activeTab", "storage", "contextMenus", and host permissions including "all_urls". These permissions are required solely to provide the extension's core functionality. Specifically, the "webRequest" permission is used to detect streaming media resources such as HLS (.m3u8) and DASH (.mpd) manifests directly within your browser so downloadable media can be identified. Network requests are inspected locally within your browser only for media detection purposes. This information is processed entirely on your device and is never collected, stored, transmitted, shared, or sold by V-Down.

4. No Advertising or Tracking

V-Down is completely ad-free. We do not use advertising networks, analytics services, cookies, telemetry systems, behavioral tracking technologies, or any third-party trackers to monitor your activity. Your browsing behavior is never tracked by V-Down.

5. Data Sharing

V-Down does not sell, rent, transfer, or disclose user data to third parties. Since user data is not collected during normal operation, there is no personal information available to share.

6. Contact

If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, please contact us through the Contact Us page available on the official V-Down website.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect product improvements, legal requirements, or policy changes. Any updates will be published on this page together with the revised Effective Date. By using V-Down or the VDX browser extension, you acknowledge and agree to this Privacy Policy.
