QSaver browser extension — privacy

• The extension does not collect browsing history. On a video page it only finds the site's row of buttons to place its own next to them — it stores and transmits nothing from the page.
• On its own — at installation, at browser start and every few hours — the extension only asks q-saver.com where to place the button on each site: the answer describes places on the page (which element to find and where to stand), not code. This request carries no cookies and no page addresses — only the extension version. This keeps the button in place when a site changes its layout, without a new extension version.
• The video address goes to q-saver.com only when you press Download yourself — the on-page button, the extension window or the right-click menu. It is the same as pasting the link on the site: the server finds the video, downloads it and hands you the file. Requests carry your q-saver.com sign-in (the site's cookies) so that your plan and limits apply. From there the site's Privacy Policy applies.
• After installation the extension opens its page on q-saver.com once, and after removal the browser opens that page marked “removed” — that is how we count installs and removals. You may mark a reason for removal on that page — it is sent to the site only if you click it.
• When you open the extension window, it asks q-saver.com for your name, plan and downloads left today — with your sign-in on the site, like the site's header; the page address is not sent.
• The extension stores in the browser its own settings (language, button style, sites), the site's messages in your language, the button places and — until the browser is closed — the state of downloads in progress and your plan for the window.
• No ads, no analytics and no remotely loaded code — everything the extension does is in its package.
• Permissions: access to the tab when you click the icon (activeTab) — to read the video address; data on YouTube, VK, Rutube, OK, Dzen, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, X, Reddit, Pinterest, Bilibili and Yandex video search pages — only to place the Download button on a video page; access to q-saver.com — to check what your plan allows, start the download and fetch the file; downloads — to save the finished file to Downloads; alarms — while a download is in progress, to wake the extension so the file is saved even after the tab is closed; context menu and storage — the right-click items and settings.
