1. The short version
videodownloadaifox is built to work entirely inside your browser. We do not run an account system, analytics, advertising or a backend that receives your data. We do not collect, buy, sell, share or profile personal information. The files you save go to your own download folder through the browser's download manager — they never pass through us.
2. What is stored on your device
- First-run consent record. When you accept the terms, the extension saves
{ accepted, version, date }in local extension storage. It is not synced, contains no personal information, and can be withdrawn in Settings. - Preferences. Settings such as thumbnail display, cover fetching and hover preview are kept in local extension storage.
- Current-tab list. Detected media URLs and covers are held in session storage for the current browser session and cleared on navigation or when you clear the list.
- Referer rules. When a download needs the source page, a session-only network rule is created and disappears when the browser session ends.
All of the above stays on your device. You can remove it at any time by clearing extension storage, revoking consent, or uninstalling the extension.
3. What we never collect
No name, email address, account, password, payment data, contact list, browsing history, precise location, device identifiers or content of the media you view. No telemetry, crash reporting, cookies, fingerprinting, advertising identifiers or third-party SDKs. The extension contains no remotely hosted code; every script it runs ships inside the package.
4. Network requests the extension makes
The extension does not phone home. The only requests it initiates are to the servers that already serve the page you are visiting:
- Fetching a cover image, when enabled, so the list can show a thumbnail.
- A silent, looping preview request to the media server when you hover a cover; this can be switched off in Settings, and preview requests are sent with
no-referrer. - Retrieving the media segments you explicitly choose to preview or save.
These requests go to the site or content delivery network hosting the media, under that provider's own privacy policy. They are not sent to us, and we cannot see them.
5. First-run disclosure and consent
Before the extension will detect, preview or download anything, an in-product dialog discloses its intended use and asks you to accept the terms. Detection stays disabled until you do. This disclosure and your affirmative action happen inside the extension's own interface, not only in a store listing or on this page. You can withdraw consent at any time in Settings, which also clears the captured list and unregisters the content script.
6. This website
This site is static. It sets no cookies, loads no external fonts, scripts or trackers, and runs no analytics. It stores only your language preference in your browser's local storage so the next page opens in the language you chose. You can clear it in your browser settings.
7. Third-party components
The extension bundles hls.js (MIT licence) locally to play HLS streams in the preview and hover player. It is loaded from the extension package, not from a CDN, and is not a service that receives data from us. No other third-party runtime component is included.
8. Legal basis and your rights
Because we do not collect personal data, there is no processing that would require a lawful basis beyond the strictly local operations described above. If you are in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, you still have the rights to request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability, and to complain to your local supervisory authority. If you are in California, you have the rights to know, delete and opt out of sale or sharing; we do not sell or share personal information. Write to service@zeekfox.com and we will help — most requests are satisfied by deleting local data yourself, which we will explain.
9. Retention
Local preferences and the consent record remain until you change them or uninstall. The current-tab list and any session network rules expire with the browser session. We retain no server-side copy of anything.
10. Chrome Web Store Limited Use commitment
The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
11. Children
The extension is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect data from children.
12. Future paid features
Version 1.7.0 is completely free. There is no payment, licence key, account or purchase flow. If a paid edition is ever introduced, we will update this policy before it launches, list exactly what additional data (for example an email address and order reference) would be processed and why, obtain fresh consent where required, and update the store disclosures. The current build contains no licence-checking code.
13. Changes to this policy
We will post any change here with a new "Last updated" date. Material changes that affect how the extension handles data will also be communicated in the product and in the store listing before they take effect.
