Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Thumb Grabber collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our website and services.

1. What Information Do We Collect?

Personal Data: We do not require registration or login to use the service. However, we may collect certain information automatically through analytics and advertising services (see below).

Analytics Data: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized data about how visitors use our site (e.g., pages visited, device/browser info, general location). This helps us improve the site and understand usage patterns.

Advertising Data: We use Google AdSense to display ads. AdSense may use cookies and similar technologies to show relevant ads and measure their effectiveness.

2. Cookies

We use cookies for essential site functionality, analytics, and advertising. Cookies may be set by us (first-party) or by third-party services (Google Analytics, Google AdSense).

You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. However, disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and maintain our YouTube thumbnail downloading service
  • To analyze and improve website performance and user experience
  • To display relevant advertisements
  • To ensure security and prevent abuse

4. Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share anonymized analytics data with service providers who help us operate and improve our website.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Important Notice

Thumb Grabber is designed with privacy in mind. We operate as a client-side tool that processes YouTube URLs in your browser without sending your data to our servers. The only data collection occurs through standard web analytics to help us improve the service.
