Privacy Policy

Last updated: 9 November 2026

Any4KVideoDownloader is a desktop application for Windows and this website. We designed both to need as little personal data as possible. This page explains what is processed, why and what rights you have.

1. Who is responsible

The data controller for this website and for licence sales is Alexander, trading as Any4KVideoDownloader, based in Ica, Peru ("we", "us"). You can contact us at support@any4kvideodownloader.com. The full postal address is available on request.

2. The desktop app

• Downloads stay on your PC. The app connects directly to the websites you choose; video and audio files are not uploaded to us or to any intermediary.
• No account. You do not need to register to use the trial or an activated licence.
• Local settings. Preferences (download folder, quality, language, window state) are stored on your computer in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Any4KVideoDownloader.
• Licence verification and activation. Licence keys are signed and verified locally. When you activate a licence, the app sends the key, a machine identifier and the plan to our activation server, which records the activation to enforce the device limit for your edition. After activation the app works offline; it does not send your key during normal downloads.
• Update checks. When you check for updates, the app requests a small version file from our server and, optionally, the latest download engine from PyPI. These requests include the app version and your IP address (as any web request does), but no licence key or personal data.
• Logs. The in-app log is stored in memory and is not transmitted anywhere.

3. This website

• Analytics only with consent. If you choose Accept all in the cookie banner, the site loads Google Analytics 4 and Meta Pixel to measure visits and campaigns. They may receive your IP address, pages visited and basic device information. If you choose Only necessary, no analytics script is loaded and the site works exactly the same.
• Hosting logs. Our hosting provider records standard server logs (IP address, date, requested page, browser) for security and abuse prevention. These are kept for a short period.
• Local storage. The site may store small preferences in your browser (for example, whether you dismissed a message). You can clear them at any time in your browser settings.
• Fonts and scripts. The site uses its own files; it does not load Google Fonts or third-party JavaScript.

Cookies and local storage

By default this site only stores strictly functional preferences. If you accept analytics, Google Analytics 4 and Meta Pixel may also set their own cookies. The preferences we store are:

• Language preference (avd-lang): remembers whether you chose English, Spanish, Italian or Portuguese, so the site opens in that language next time.
• Cookie notice (avd-cookies-ok): remembers that you dismissed the cookie banner so it does not appear again.
• Consent choice (avd-consent): remembers whether you accepted or refused analytics. You can change it by clearing this site's data in your browser; the banner will ask again.

Both are kept in your browser's local storage, are not sent to us and do not identify you. You can delete them at any time from your browser settings (usually Settings → Privacy → Clear browsing data).

Third parties. When you click a purchase button you are redirected to PayPal, which may set its own cookies to process the payment and prevent fraud. Those cookies are controlled by PayPal and are subject to its own privacy policy. We do not receive or store your card details. If you accept analytics, Google and Meta may process data as described in their own privacy policies; we do not sell personal data.

4. Purchases and licences

When you buy a licence, the payment is processed by PayPal. PayPal receives the data needed to charge you and issue an invoice: name, email, country, payment details and tax information. We receive the order details needed to deliver your licence and provide support (name, email, product, order number). We do not see or store your full card number. The confirmation email includes your licence key and order number, and you can print a receipt from your account.

5. Support

If you contact us, we keep your email and the content of the conversation for as long as needed to resolve the issue and for our support history. Do not send us personal files or passwords.

6. Legal bases

Depending on your jurisdiction, we rely on: performance of a contract (delivering the licence and support), legitimate interests (security, fraud prevention, improving the product) and consent where required (for example, optional communications). You can withdraw consent at any time.

7. Retention

Support messages are kept for up to 24 months. Invoices and tax records are kept as required by law. Server logs are kept for a short period. Licence records are kept while the licence is active and for a reasonable period afterwards to handle re-activations.

8. Sharing

We share data only with service providers that help us operate: hosting, payment processing, email delivery and support. We do not sell personal data. We may disclose data if required by law.

9. International transfers

Some providers may process data outside your country. Where required, transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

10. Your rights

Subject to local law, you can request access to your data, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or object to processing. To exercise these rights, email support@any4kvideodownloader.com. You also have the right to complain to your data protection authority.

11. Children

The app is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

12. Changes

We may update this policy when the product changes. The date at the top shows the latest revision. Material changes will be announced on this page.
