Privacy Policy

This page is maintained by the TikVidDown team to explain — in plain English — what data the service collects, how it's used, and the rights you have over it.

1. Who we are

TikVidDown ("we", "us", "our") is an independent online tool that lets users download publicly accessible TikTok videos to their own devices. We are not affiliated with ByteDance Ltd., TikTok, or any of their subsidiaries.

2. Data we collect

TikVidDown is designed to need as little personal data as possible. We do not require accounts, and we do not ask for your name, email, or any social media login.

When you use TikVidDown we may process the following:

  • Video URLs you paste into the downloader, used only to fetch the requested video. URLs are not stored after the request completes.
  • Standard server logs such as IP address, browser user agent, referrer, and timestamp. These are kept for up to 30 days for security, debugging, and abuse prevention.
  • Anonymous usage analytics (page views, country, device type). We do not link this data to any individual.
  • Contact form submissions, if you choose to email us. We keep these only as long as needed to respond.

3. What we don't collect

  • We do not store the videos you download.
  • We do not keep a history of the links you have processed.
  • We do not sell, rent, or trade any data with third parties.
  • We do not require, request, or store any TikTok account credentials.

4. Cookies and local storage

TikVidDown uses a small amount of browser local storage to remember your theme preference (light or dark mode). We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking pixels. If we add analytics in the future, we will use a privacy-respecting tool that does not require cookie consent banners.

5. How we use the data

  • To fetch and deliver the video you requested.
  • To monitor service health and prevent abuse.
  • To improve performance and fix bugs.
  • To respond to your messages when you contact us.

6. Third-party services

To run the service we rely on a small number of infrastructure providers (such as cloud hosting and CDN). These providers process data on our behalf and are bound by their own privacy and security terms. They do not have permission to use your data for their own purposes.

When you download a video, the file is served directly from TikTok's servers — it does not pass through ours.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR in the EU/UK, or the CCPA in California), you may have the right to:

  • Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Ask us to correct or delete that data.
  • Object to or restrict certain types of processing.
  • Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

To make a request, email us via the contact page. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Children's privacy

TikVidDown is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

9. Data security

We use industry-standard measures — encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and minimal data retention — to protect the information we do process. No internet service can be 100% secure, but we work to keep your data safe.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be highlighted on the homepage or via a visible notice in the app.
