Privacy Policy
What we collect, what we do not, and the choices you have.
Last updated: October 18, 2026
Your privacy matters to us. This page explains in plain words what information we collect when you use YouTube Thumbnail Downloader, why we collect it and what choices you have.
The short version
- You do not need an account, and we do not ask for your name, phone number or email to use the tool.
- We do not store the links you paste or the thumbnails you download.
- We do not show ads and we do not sell your data.
- We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are useful.
What we do not collect
When you paste a link and press Get Thumbnail, the work happens in your own browser. Your link is not sent to our server and is not saved by us. When you press Download, the file is saved on your device and we get no copy of it.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting service may keep basic server logs, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, the page you visited and the date and time. We use this only to keep the site running, find errors and block abuse.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how people use the site. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technology to collect information such as pages viewed, time on page, approximate location (city or country), device type and browser. This data is anonymous and we cannot use it to know who you are. You can read how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. To opt out, you can use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on or block cookies in your browser.
Third party services used by the tool
- YouTube image servers (i.ytimg.com): your browser loads the thumbnail directly from YouTube. YouTube and Google can see your IP address and the thumbnail you asked for, as with any picture loaded from their servers. Their own privacy policy applies.
- noembed.com: to show the video title, your browser may send the video link to this service. If it does not answer, the tool still works without the title.
Data saved on your device
We save only one small setting in your browser storage: your choice of dark or light theme. This stays on your device and you can clear it at any time from your browser settings.
If you press the Paste button, the tool reads your clipboard only at that moment and only to fill the link box. It does not keep it.
Ads
This website does not show ads right now. If this changes in the future, we will update this page before we start.
Links to other websites
We may link to other websites, including our other tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of that website applies. Please read it.
Children
This site is not made for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you think a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example in the European Union or California), you may have the right to ask what data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how it is used. Since we collect so little, there may be nothing to share, but you are welcome to ask. Write to us at the email below.
Changes to this policy
We may update this page from time to time. When we do, we will change the date at the top. Please check back now and then.
