Privacy Policy

This policy explains what data Instant Reel Downloader collects when you visit instantreeldownloader.com, why we collect it, and what control you have over it.

The short version: we don’t sell your data, we don’t require an account, and the only personal information we hold is what you voluntarily give us — an email address if you subscribe, or your message if you contact us.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us: your name, email address, subject and message when you use the contact form; your email address if you subscribe to the newsletter.

Collected automatically: standard server log data (IP address, browser type, referring page, pages visited, timestamps), aggregated analytics data, and cookies.

2. How we use your information

• To reply to your message.
• To send the newsletter you asked for, and nothing else.
• To understand which articles are useful so we know what to write next.
• To keep the site secure and diagnose technical problems.
• To display advertising, which is how the site is funded.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share your email address with advertisers.

3. Legal basis for processing (GDPR)

If you are in the EEA or UK, we process your data on the basis of consent (newsletter, analytics and advertising cookies), legitimate interests (essential site operation and security), and legal obligation where applicable.

4. Cookies and advertising

We use cookies. Essential cookies keep the site functioning. Analytics and advertising cookies are only set if you accept them.

This site displays advertising served by Google AdSense. In connection with this:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites.
• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can opt out of third-party vendor cookie use at aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.com.

5. How long we keep data

• Newsletter emails: until you unsubscribe, then deleted within 30 days.
• Contact form messages: up to 24 months.
• Server logs: typically 30–90 days.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the data we hold about you, correct it, request its deletion, object to or restrict processing, withdraw consent at any time, request a portable copy, and lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

To exercise any of these, email privacy@instantreeldownloader.com. We respond within 30 days.

California residents: you have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell your personal information.

7. Children

This site is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA/UK). We do not knowingly collect data from children.

8. Security

We use HTTPS across the site and take reasonable technical measures to protect the limited data we hold. No system is perfectly secure — but we hold very little, which is itself the best protection.

9. External links

Our articles link to third-party sites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.
