+Effective date: 14 August 2026
+
+RedGifs Video Downloader is designed to work locally in the user's Chromium-based browser.
+
+## Data handled by the extension
+
+The extension may process the following data when the user visits RedGIFS:
+
+- the current RedGIFS page URL;
+- visible page elements and media metadata needed to identify a video;
+- RedGIFS media URLs and temporary API authorization required by the site;
+- download settings and the stable IDs of successfully downloaded videos;
+- diagnostic events, DOM geometry, HTTP statuses and error messages.
+
+## How data is used
+
+This data is used only to find requested media, assemble it locally, save it through the browser download manager, remember completed downloads, and generate a diagnostic log when requested.
+
+## Storage and sharing
+
+- The project has no developer-operated server.
+- No analytics or telemetry is collected.
+- No data is sold or shared by the developer.
+- Settings and downloaded-video IDs remain in browser extension storage.
+- Temporary diagnostic events remain in session storage and are exported only when the user clicks the diagnostic-log button.
+- Media is not uploaded to a third-party service by this extension.
+
+Normal communication with RedGIFS and its content-delivery infrastructure remains subject to RedGIFS' own privacy policy and terms.
+
+## Diagnostic redaction
+
+The diagnostic exporter removes URL query strings and fragments and replaces known token, authorization, cookie, credential, password and secret fields with `[redacted]`. Video bodies and API response bodies are not included. Users should still review a diagnostic file before sharing it.
+
+## Removal
+
+Users can erase extension settings and history by removing the extension or clearing its stored data in the browser.
