🔧 How We Use Information

Service Operation

Since our service operates entirely in your browser, we don't process any user data on our servers. The YouTube URLs you enter are parsed locally by JavaScript code running in your browser to generate thumbnail URLs. This process happens entirely on your device, ensuring complete privacy and security of your data.

Service Improvement

We may use anonymized, aggregated technical data (such as overall traffic patterns) to improve our service performance and reliability. This data cannot be used to identify individual users and is used solely for technical optimization purposes.

Legal Compliance

We may be required to disclose information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. However, since we don't collect personal information, there is typically no user data to disclose.

🍪 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Essential Cookies

Our website may use essential cookies that are necessary for the basic functionality of the service. These cookies do not store personal information and are used solely for technical purposes such as maintaining session state and ensuring proper website operation.

Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics services to understand general usage patterns and improve our service. Any analytics data collected is anonymized and aggregated, ensuring that individual users cannot be identified. You can disable cookies in your browser settings without affecting the core functionality of our service.

Third-Party Cookies

We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising networks. Our service does not integrate with social media tracking pixels or other third-party tracking technologies that could compromise your privacy.

🔐 Data Security

Technical Safeguards

Our website is served over HTTPS, ensuring that all communication between your browser and our servers is encrypted. Since we don't collect or store personal data, the risk of data breaches affecting user privacy is minimized. All processing happens locally in your browser, providing an additional layer of security.

Infrastructure Security

Our hosting infrastructure employs industry-standard security measures including firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and regular security updates. We work with reputable hosting providers who maintain high security standards and compliance certifications.

Data Breach Response

In the unlikely event of a security incident, we have procedures in place to assess the impact and take appropriate action. Since we don't store personal data, most security incidents would not affect user privacy. We commit to transparency and would notify users of any incidents that could impact them.

🔗 Third-Party Services

YouTube Integration

Our service accesses publicly available YouTube thumbnail URLs. We do not integrate with YouTube's API or any other Google services that would require data sharing. The thumbnail URLs are generated using publicly documented patterns and do not involve any data exchange with YouTube's servers beyond the standard image requests made by your browser.

Hosting Services

Our website is hosted on secure, professional hosting infrastructure. Our hosting providers may collect basic technical information for security and performance monitoring, but this information is not shared with us in a way that would allow identification of individual users.

Content Delivery Networks

We may use content delivery networks (CDNs) to improve website performance and reliability. These services may collect basic technical information such as IP addresses and request patterns for optimization purposes. This data is anonymized and not used for tracking individual users.
