Privacy Policy
We keep DownAria simple: no account required, minimal stored data, and transparent handling for extraction requests.
Last updated: May 2026
Privacy at a Glance
No registration is required to use DownAria.
We do not permanently host downloaded media files.
You control optional cookie usage in Settings for platforms that need authentication.
Data We Process
Submission Metadata
Submitted URLs and extraction metadata needed to return media formats and preview info.
Optional Cookies
Optional cookies that you set in Settings for private/auth-required content, handled with separate server-side rules.
Operational Signals
Operational stats for reliability and abuse protection (rate limiting, retry, and service health).
How We Handle Data
Our architecture is designed for temporary processing and minimal retention.
Theme, preferences, and local history are stored on your device using browser storage.
Downloads are fetched from provider/CDN sources and proxied only for delivery compatibility.
Authentication lanes are applied in order: Guest -> Server -> UserProvided. Cookies from Settings are private per user, never shared with other users, and processed through a separate private path in temporary server pooling.
We do not sell personal data. Use this tool only for content you are authorized to access.
Retention & Deletion
- Local history and preferences stay in your browser until you clear them from Settings or browser storage.
- Temporary extraction and operational logs are rotated and retained only for reliability and abuse prevention.
- If you provide authentication cookies, you can remove them anytime in Settings; they are not required for public content.
Privacy FAQ
Do I need an account?
No. Core download and extraction flow works without registration.
Do you store downloaded files?
No permanent hosting. Media is fetched from source/CDN and delivered for your request.
What about cookies?
Cookies are optional and scoped to your own requests only. They are not shared with other users and are only kept temporarily via a private processing lane.
