Privacy policy
Last updated: November 6, 2026
This policy explains which personal data Video Download Easy (extension and website) processes, why, with whom it is shared and what your rights are, under Brazil's General Data Protection Law (LGPD, Law 13,709/2018) and, for visitors in the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
1. Summary
- We run no analytics, advertising, tracking or automated crash reporting.
- We do not collect your browsing history, the addresses of pages you visit, or the videos you watch or download.
- Video detection, downloading and conversion happen in your browser.
- The extension only talks to our servers to activate and renew Premium.
- We do not sell or rent personal data.
2. Who is responsible
The data controller is Video Download Easy. For any privacy matter, including contacting our data protection officer, write to devgrouply@gmail.com.
3. What the extension does on your device
- Detects videos by analyzing the network requests of the pages you visit.
- Downloads files directly from the source websites to your computer.
- Stores locally your settings, each tab's temporary video list, the Premium license and the count and timing of free downloads (to apply the Free Plan limit).
- The video list is cleared when you navigate away or close the tab. Uninstalling the extension deletes all local data.
This data stays in your browser and is not sent to us.
4. Extension permissions and their purpose
Permissions exist only to detect and download videos — never to track you.
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
webRequest, webNavigation | Observe network requests and tab navigation to recognize video and audio files (MP4, HLS, DASH) and build the download options. Analysis happens in the browser; nothing is logged or sent. |
tabs | Read the current tab's address and title to link each video to its page, name the file, and reload the page when you click “No video?”. |
declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess | Apply, inside the browser, the headers (Referer/Origin) some websites require before serving the video file. It does not read your traffic. |
downloads | Start and track downloads and open the downloads folder when you ask. |
storage, unlimitedStorage | Keep on your device your settings, the tab's video list, the Premium license and, temporarily, parts of the video during download and conversion. |
offscreen | Run a hidden document that merges audio and video and converts HLS to MP4 locally. |
Access to all sites (<all_urls>) | Detect videos on any website you visit and download the files from the servers that host them. Detection is local; your browsing is not tracked. |
Page scripts | On any page: capture a video frame for the thumbnail in the popup. On Instagram and Facebook: read the page data to find the MP4 version with audio of the right video. On our Website: let you activate Premium from the confirmation page. All locally. |
5. Data sent by the extension (Premium)
The extension only contacts our servers when you activate, renew or deactivate Premium:
- Activation: the Key, a random installation identifier (generated by the extension, not linked to you or your device) and the browser name/version and operating system (e.g. "Chrome 142 · macOS").
- Renewal (automatic, once a day while the browser is in use) and deactivation: the signed license token.
We store the installation identifier, the browser name and the activation and last-contact dates to limit the number of browsers per license and allow deactivation. As with any internet connection, your IP address reaches the server: we use it only momentarily to limit abusive requests and do not store it in our database. Our hosting provider may keep technical access logs for a short period for security.
6. Data processed on the website and at purchase
- Purchase: Stripe processes the payment and sends us your email, the amount, currency and transaction identifiers. We never receive your card details.
- License: we generate the Key and store it in protected form (a hash for verification and an encrypted copy for resending). The Key is linked to the purchase.
- Emails: we send the Key, payment notices and, on request, purchase recovery or the access link to “My browsers” (valid for 30 minutes). If you write to us, we keep the conversation to assist you.
- My browsers: with the link sent to your purchase email, you can see the browsers where the license is active (browser name, activation and last-use dates) and free up slots.
- Cookies: the website uses a single cookie to remember your chosen language. We use no analytics or advertising cookies. Stripe's payment page, on its own domain, uses cookies required for security and fraud prevention.
7. Purposes and legal bases
- Delivering, activating and maintaining Premium; sending the Key; handling support requests: performance of a contract.
- Keeping purchase and tax records: legal obligation.
- Preventing fraud, API abuse and improper Key sharing: legitimate interests.
- Defending rights in legal proceedings: exercise of legal rights.
9. International transfers
Some providers (such as Stripe and Resend) may process data outside Brazil and the EU, including in the United States. These transfers rely on contractual clauses and appropriate security measures, as required by the LGPD and, where applicable, the GDPR.
10. How long we keep data
- Purchases and licenses: while the license exists and then for the period required by tax and consumer-protection law (generally 5 years).
- Activations: while the license is active on the browser; deactivated activations are kept only as license history.
- Support emails: as long as needed to resolve the request and any related claims.
- Payment events received from Stripe: as long as needed for reconciliation and auditing.
11. Security
We use encrypted connections (HTTPS), store the Key only as a hash and an encrypted copy, digitally sign licenses and collect the minimum data. If a security incident poses a relevant risk, we will notify you and the competent data protection authority.
12. Your rights
Under the LGPD and, where applicable, the GDPR, you may request: confirmation that we process your data; access; correction; anonymization, restriction or deletion; portability; information about sharing; and review of automated decisions. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests.
To exercise your rights, write to devgrouply@gmail.com from your purchase email. We may ask you to confirm your identity to prevent fraud. We reply within 15 days. You may also lodge a complaint with Brazil's ANPD (gov.br/anpd) or, in the EU, with your local data protection authority.
13. Children
The extension and Premium are not intended for anyone under 18 without parental consent. We do not knowingly collect children's data. If you believe this has happened, write to devgrouply@gmail.com and we will delete it.
14. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy, for example when the extension gains new features or permissions. Material changes will be announced on the website and, for Premium buyers, by email. See also the Terms of Use.
