Privacy Policy
YT-DLP GUI is built so your media stays on your machine. We do not run a download cloud, we do not require an account, and we do not sell data.
What we do not collect
- No telemetry, crash analytics, or advertising identifiers in the desktop app
- No user accounts, mailing lists, or login walls
- Download URLs are not uploaded to ytdlpgui.birol.tech
What stays on your computer
Recents history, theme, save paths, and related preferences are stored locally (application storage / localStorage). You can clear them by deleting app data or using Recents controls in the app.
yt-dlp and ffmpeg binaries install into your user data directory on first launch unless they already exist on your PATH.
Optional weather widget
If you enable the weather widget during onboarding or in Settings, the app may call Open-Meteo for forecast data and ipapi.co to estimate city from IP when no location is typed. Disable the widget and those requests stop. This website does not embed that widget.
This marketing website
The site is a static page. Cloudflare Web Analytics may collect privacy-friendly, cookie-free visit counts. Theme choice can be saved in your browser's localStorage under ytdlp-gui-theme.
Third-party services you choose to use
GitHub hosts source, releases, and issues. YouTube, Instagram, AcoustID, ACRCloud, and similar providers have their own terms when you fetch media or identify songs. Use only content you have the right to access.
