Video Keeper privacy policy

Last updated: October 30, 2026

Video Keeper (the browser extension and the Video Keeper Helper app) does not collect, store or share any
personal data. There are no accounts, analytics, tracking or advertising.

What stays on your computer

• The list of videos found on your open tabs and the progress of downloads are kept in the browser's temporary
  session storage and are cleared when you close the tab or the browser.
• Downloaded videos are saved to your Downloads folder.

Network connections

Video Keeper only connects to:

• The website you are downloading from, to fetch the video or stream you chose — the same requests your browser
  makes when you play it.
• GitHub, from the helper app, at most once a day: to check for a newer
  yt-dlp (https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases) and a newer
  Video Keeper Helper (https://github.com/rabbitsf/video-keeper/releases), and to download them if available. These
  requests contain no information about you or the videos you watch.

Permissions

• Access your data for all websites — to find the videos on the page you are viewing. Video Keeper only looks at
  video and stream addresses, links that point to video files, and the page title (to name the saved file). It
  never reads or sends page content, form data or browsing history.
• Download files — to save videos to your Downloads folder.
• Exchange messages with programs other than the browser — only to talk to Video Keeper Helper, for YouTube
  downloads.
• Notifications — to tell you when a download has finished.
