Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Ytsow (“we”, “us”) handles information when you use our website and download tools.

Last updated: October 15, 2026

1. Who we are

Ytsow is a free online YouTube downloader at ytsow.com. For privacy questions, email [email protected].

2. Information we process

Depending on how you use the Service, we may process:

  • Links you submit — YouTube URLs or video IDs you paste so we can request available formats
  • Technical data — IP address, browser type, device/OS hints, referring URL, and timestamps, typically via server or CDN logs
  • Usage data — pages visited, approximate region, and interaction events if we use analytics
  • Communications — if you email us, the content of that message and your email address

You do not need an account to use the core download tools. We do not ask you to create a password-protected profile for basic use.

3. How we use information

We use information to:

  • Provide and operate the download tools
  • Maintain security, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot errors
  • Understand aggregate traffic so we can improve the site
  • Respond to your emails and legal requests when required

We do not sell your personal information.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

We may use essential cookies or local storage required for the site to function (for example, language or UI preferences). If we use analytics or advertising cookies, we will rely on those providers’ technologies; you can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect site features.

5. Third-party services

To list formats or deliver files, we may send the video identifier you submit to infrastructure providers or media APIs. Those parties process data under their own terms and privacy policies. Hosting, CDN, DNS, and analytics providers may also process technical logs when you visit Ytsow.

When you leave Ytsow for YouTube or another site, their privacy policies apply. Ytsow is not responsible for third-party practices.

6. Retention

We keep logs and operational data only as long as needed for security, debugging, and legal obligations, then delete or aggregate them. Emails you send may be retained as needed to handle your request.

7. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the Service. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. International transfers

Ytsow may be hosted or processed in countries other than your own. By using the Service, you understand that information may be transferred to and processed in those locations, subject to applicable law.

9. Children

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

10. Your choices

You can:

  • Stop using the Service at any time
  • Limit cookies through your browser
  • Email us to ask questions about data we may hold related to your correspondence

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain personal data, or to object to processing. Contact us to make a request. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

11. Changes

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