# Privacy Policy
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.

Privacy questions may be submitted through the official Gitea repository maintained by OwnerLink.
