Privacy Policy
1 Introduction
Welcome to ClipFetch ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we handle your data. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use our mobile application ClipFetch (the "App") and related services (collectively, the "Service").
By using ClipFetch, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our Service.
2 Information We Collect
📌 Key Point
ClipFetch is designed with privacy in mind. We collect minimal data necessary to provide our service and do not sell your personal information.
a) URLs and Content Processing: When you paste a URL for downloading, we process that URL solely to fetch the video or image content you requested. URLs are processed in real-time and are not stored on our servers after the download is completed.
b) Device Information: We may collect non-personal device information including:
- Device type and model
- Operating system version
- App version
- Network type (WiFi or cellular)
- General device language and region
c) Authentication Data: If you choose to sign in using Google Authentication, we receive your basic profile information (name, email address, and profile picture) as provided by Google. This information is used solely for authentication purposes.
d) Download History: Your download history is stored locally on your device only. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly sync it.
e) Log Data: In the event of an error, we may collect log data including IP address, browser type, pages visited, time and date of visit, and time spent on pages. This data is used solely for debugging and improving our Service.

4 Data Storage and Security
We take the security of your data seriously and implement appropriate technical and organizational measures:

⚠️ Important
While we strive to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the same privacy protections.
