No account, no sign-up, nothing stored — you are fully anonymous. We do not log the links you paste or the files you download. Your Recent list is written to your own browser’s local storage and never leaves the device. This is unchanged from before Pro existed, and it stays true whether or not anyone ever subscribes.
Signing in with Google creates an account. We store your email address, your Google account ID, your display name and the link to your Google profile photo, and a list of the sessions (devices/browsers) currently signed in — that list is what lets you sign out of one device from another, and what enforces the 5-device cap. The name and photo are only used to show you who you are signed in as. We do not store a password; Google handles authentication and we never see one.
Your name, email and photo link are also kept in your own browser’s storage, so the account button can render without calling our server on every page. Signing out erases that copy.
No download activity is recorded for anyone, signed in or not. We do not store IP addresses. Deleting your account, from /account, removes your record and every session immediately.
When enabled, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics for page-view counts. It sets no cookies, builds no cross-site profile, and does not fingerprint your device. It is the only analytics this site ever runs.
After a successful download we may show one sponsor card. If you click it you are taken to that company’s own site and we may earn a commission on a purchase, at no extra cost to you. We only see that a click happened, reported in aggregate by the advertiser. We never sell your data, and we run no popups, popunders, or redirects.
Nothing is sold on this site, so we take no payments and hold no billing data. If you support the project, that happens entirely on Buy Me a Coffee under their privacy policy — we never see your card details, and the only thing that reaches us is whatever you put in the email asking for the extras to be switched on.
Links are resolved on demand and nothing you download is stored on our servers. Where a file is proxied, it is streamed through and discarded.
The Paste button reads your clipboard once, when you press it. Supporters can also switch on a setting that reads it when you return to the tab, so a link copied elsewhere resolves by itself. It is off unless you turn it on, your browser asks permission before the first read, and the reading happens in your browser: if the clipboard holds a link, that link is sent to our resolver exactly as though you had pasted it, and if it holds anything else the text is discarded on the spot and never sent anywhere. Nothing is read while the tab is in the background — browsers do not permit it, and neither would we.
Privacy questions, or a request to delete data we hold, go to support@socialdownloader.space, read by Mohamed Gado. You can also delete your account and every session yourself, at any time, from /account.
