Privacy Policy

We do not store, sell, or share your data. Plain and simple.

TL;DR: TikDL does not collect, store, sell, or share your personal data. The only data we receive is the TikTok URL you paste, which is used solely to fetch the video. We use standard analytics (Google Analytics) to understand general site usage. No video files are stored on our servers.

Effective Date: July 25, 2025  |  Last Updated: July 25, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how TikDL.site ("TikDL", "we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, and handles information when you use our website at tikdl.site.

1. Information We Collect

a) TikTok URLs You Submit
When you paste a TikTok video URL into our tool, that URL is transmitted to our server to fetch the video. We do not store these URLs in any database after your session ends. No URL history is retained.

b) Usage Data (Analytics)
We use Google Analytics (GA4) to collect anonymized usage data including pages visited, time on site, browser type, device type, and general geographic region (country/city level). This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. You can opt out via Google's opt-out browser add-on.

c) Log Data
Our web servers automatically record standard log data including your IP address, browser user agent, request timestamp, and HTTP response codes. These logs are retained for up to 30 days for security and debugging purposes, then automatically deleted.

d) Cookies
TikDL uses only essential cookies required for site functionality and the Google Analytics cookie (anonymized). We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, or third-party tracking cookies for commercial purposes.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

  • Your name, email address, or any personal identifiers
  • TikTok account credentials or passwords
  • Downloaded video files (not stored on our servers)
  • Payment or financial information
  • Location data beyond country/city level from analytics

3. How We Use Information

  • To process your video download request (TikTok URL)
  • To improve website performance and user experience (analytics)
  • To monitor for abuse or security threats (server logs)
  • To comply with legal obligations

We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, or selling to third parties.

4. Data Sharing

TikDL does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share limited data only in these circumstances:

  • Service providers: Google Analytics (anonymized, aggregated usage data only)
  • Legal requirements: If required by law, court order, or to protect our legal rights
  • Business transfer: In the unlikely event of a merger or acquisition, data would be transferred under the same privacy commitments

5. Data Retention

  • TikTok URLs: Not stored beyond the active processing session
  • Downloaded video files: Never stored on our servers
  • Server logs: Retained for up to 30 days, then deleted
  • Analytics data: Retained for 26 months per Google Analytics defaults

6. Your Rights (GDPR, CCPA, and Global)

Depending on your location, you may have rights including:

  • The right to know what personal data we hold about you
  • The right to deletion of your personal data
  • The right to opt out of analytics tracking
  • The right to data portability
  • The right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

Because we collect minimal data and retain URLs only during sessions, most requests for deletion are already satisfied automatically. For specific requests, contact us.

7. Children's Privacy

TikDL is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EU/UK). We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a child has submitted personal data, contact us and we will delete it immediately.

8. Security

TikDL uses HTTPS encryption for all connections. Server access is restricted and monitored. While no online service can guarantee absolute security, we follow industry-standard practices to protect against unauthorized access.

9. Third-Party Links

Our site may contain links to external sites (e.g., TikTok itself). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Review their privacy policies independently.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our service evolves or legal requirements change. Changes are posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of TikDL after changes constitutes acceptance.
