1. Introduction
Welcome to Vidro ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our video downloading service at vidro.com.
2. Information We Collect
We collect minimal information to provide our service:
- URLs you submit: We temporarily process the video URLs you paste to fetch download links. These are not stored after processing.
- Anonymous usage data: We collect anonymised download counts and platform statistics (no personal identifiers).
- IP addresses: We log only the first two octets of IP addresses (e.g., 1.2.x.x) for rate limiting and abuse prevention.
- Cookies: We use only essential cookies necessary for the site to function. No tracking cookies.
3. What We Do NOT Collect
- We do not collect your name, email address, or any personal identification
- We do not store the videos you download
- We do not track your browsing history outside of Vidro
- We do not sell your data to third parties
- We do not require account registration or login
4. How We Use Information
The limited information we collect is used solely to:
- Process your video download requests
- Prevent abuse and apply rate limiting
- Improve our service through anonymous analytics
- Maintain security and prevent malicious use
5. Third-Party Services
Vidro uses the Cobalt API to process video downloads. When you submit a URL, it is sent to the Cobalt processing service. We recommend reviewing Cobalt's privacy policy. We may also use Google Analytics for anonymous traffic analysis — no personally identifiable information is shared.
6. Data Retention
We retain anonymised download statistics for up to 90 days. URL submissions are processed in real-time and not retained. Rate limiting records are cleared after 24 hours.
7. Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption, security headers (via Helmet.js), rate limiting, and input sanitization to protect our service and its users.
8. Children's Privacy
Vidro is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, please contact us.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of Vidro after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
