Privacy Policy

Down4Media ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website down4media.online (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use our Service, and the choices you have associated with that data.

Minimal Data Handling: We do not require accounts and do not store submitted download URLs or downloaded files in an application database. Hosting, security, analytics, and advertising providers may process limited technical data as described below.

By using Down4Media, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. Unless otherwise defined here, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms of Service.

Down4Media is designed to work without user accounts. Here is what happens during normal use:

• No Account Required — You do not need to sign up, register, or provide any personal information to use our service.
• No Application URL Database — submitted URLs are processed to return available media options and are not saved in a product database.
• No User Download Accounts — we do not create user profiles or a user-facing download history.
• Contact Data Only When You Email Us — if you contact support, we receive the email address and message you send.
• Technical Processing — hosting, security, analytics, and advertising providers may process IP address, device, browser, cookie, and request data.

For Personal and Educational Use Only: Down4Media is designed for saving publicly shared Pinterest content for personal offline reference, learning, and private inspiration. It is not intended for redistribution, commercial use, or publishing third-party content. Always respect the work of the original creator.

Down4Media works on a request-response basis. You paste a supported public media URL, our server checks the link, and the page returns available media options when possible.

• Request — you submit a public URL for lookup.
• Processing — the server checks the public page or supported endpoint to find available media options.
• Result — available files are shown in your browser for personal reference use.
• No Product Database — submitted URLs and downloaded files are not saved in a Down4Media application database.

We collect only the data needed to operate the site, respond to messages, measure usage, and support advertising where enabled.

Usage Data

Our hosting and analytics services may automatically process technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring pages, visited pages, timestamps, and error logs. This helps us keep the service reliable and understand which pages need improvement.

Cookies and Tracking Data

We may use cookies or similar technologies for:

• Preference Cookies — to remember your dark mode settings.
• Analytics Cookies — to understand aggregated traffic and page usage.
• Advertising Cookies — served by Google AdSense if ads are enabled, subject to Google's privacy policy.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings and Google's advertising controls.

Pinterest URLs

URLs you submit for downloading are processed in real time on our servers. They are not stored in our application database. They may appear temporarily in standard server, security, or platform logs used to operate and protect the service.

We use data described in this policy for:

• To operate and maintain the service.
• To respond to support, copyright, and policy emails.
• To understand aggregated page performance and fix errors.
• To display advertisements via Google AdSense when advertising is enabled.
• To comply with applicable legal obligations.

Your Data is Safe With Us: Down4Media does not require accounts, but internet services still involve technical processing by hosting, analytics, security, and advertising providers.

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site and other sites on the internet.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your browsing history.
• Third-party vendors, including Google, may use the DoubleClick cookie or similar technologies for interest-based advertising.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• For more information on how Google uses data from sites that use its services, visit How Google uses data.
• To opt out of interest-based advertising from third-party networks, visit Network Advertising Initiative.

We may use Google Analytics to monitor and analyse traffic and usage of our service. Google Analytics collects data such as how often users visit the site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they visited before arriving.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. For more information on Google's privacy practices, visit Google Privacy & Terms.

Our service may contain links to third-party websites. We have no control over the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites and assume no responsibility for them. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

Third-party services we use that may collect data:

• Google AdSense — advertising
• Google Analytics — usage analytics

Your information, including any usage data, may be transferred to and maintained on servers located outside your country where data protection laws may differ. By using this service and submitting information, you consent to this transfer. We take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Down4Media may disclose your data only when required in good faith to:

• Comply with a legal obligation.
• Protect and defend the rights or property of Down4Media.
• Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the service.
• Protect the personal safety of users of the service or the public.

The security of your data is important to us. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

Our service is not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately. If we become aware that we have collected such data, we will take steps to remove it from our servers.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, you have certain data protection rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR. These include the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you, and the right to object to or restrict certain processing.

Since Down4Media does not require accounts and does not maintain an application database of submitted URLs or user profiles, most GDPR rights are satisfied by default. The personal data most likely to be processed is limited to:

• Technical server logs (IP address, browser, device, timestamps) retained by hosting and security providers for a limited period.
• Email and message content if you contact support directly.
• Advertising and analytics cookies set by Google AdSense and Google Analytics, governed by Google's own privacy practices.

Cookie Consent: When you first visit Down4Media, a consent banner is presented. Advertising and analytics cookies are only loaded after you accept. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies, which will trigger the consent prompt again on your next visit.
