Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Qooly ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website at qooly.com and use any of our products and services, including our online tools and Chrome extensions. By using our website or any of our products, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please discontinue use of our services.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

Qooly does not require you to create an account or register to use any of our tools or extensions. We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or any other personal identifying information in order to use our services. If you choose to contact us via email or a contact form, we will receive the information you voluntarily provide, such as your name and email address, solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiry.

1.2 Files You Process

When you use our online tools, all file processing happens entirely within your own browser, on your own device. Your files are never uploaded to our servers, never transmitted over the internet, and never leave your device at any point during the process. We have no access to the files you work with, and no copies are stored anywhere outside of your local environment. This architecture ensures complete privacy by design: your media files remain yours, and yours alone, at every step.

1.3 Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites, we may automatically collect certain non-personal technical information when you visit qooly.com, including:

Your IP address
Browser type and version
Operating system
Referring URL
Pages visited and time spent on the site
Date and time of your visit

This information is collected for analytics purposes only, to help us understand how our website is used and to improve our services. It is not linked to any personally identifiable information.

1.4 Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience and gather aggregate analytics data about how visitors interact with our website. These cookies do not identify you personally. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time; however, some features of the website may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

2. Chrome Extensions

Our Chrome extensions are designed with user privacy as a top priority.

2.1 Video Downloader and Image Downloader

These extensions detect downloadable media on web pages you visit and allow you to save files directly to your device. They do not collect, transmit, or store information about which websites you visit, which videos or images you download, or any other browsing activity. All downloaded files go directly to your local device and are never routed through or stored on our servers.

2.2 Screen Recorder and Screenshot Tool

These extensions allow you to capture your screen or take screenshots directly within your browser. All recordings and screenshots are saved locally to your device. We do not have access to, collect, or store any content captured using these tools.

2.3 Audio Recorder

This extension allows you to record audio directly in your browser. All recorded audio files are saved locally to your device. We do not collect, transmit, or store any audio content recorded using this extension.

None of our Chrome extensions collect personally identifiable information, track your browsing history, or send your data to external servers.

3. How We Use Information

We use the limited information we collect for the following purposes:

To provide, operate, and improve our website and products
To analyze website traffic and usage patterns in aggregate, in order to improve user experience
To respond to your inquiries or support requests
To ensure the security and proper functioning of our services

We do not use your information for advertising purposes, and we do not sell, rent, or trade any user data to third parties.

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell, share, or disclose your personal information to third parties, except in the following limited circumstances:

Service Providers: We may use third-party services (such as hosting providers or analytics platforms) that process data on our behalf. These providers are contractually obligated to handle data securely and only for the purposes we specify.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
Business Transfer: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business, user data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify users of any such change.

We do not display third-party advertising on our website, and we do not allow advertisers to collect data through our services.

5. Data Retention

Since all file processing in our online tools takes place entirely within your browser, no files are ever transmitted to or stored on our servers - there is nothing for us to retain or delete. The files you work with exist only on your own device throughout the entire process and are never accessible to us. Any non-personal analytics data we collect may be retained for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. If you contact us directly, we may retain your correspondence for a reasonable period of time in order to respond to follow-up questions or resolve any issues.

6. Data Security

Because all file processing in our online tools happens locally within your browser, your files are never transmitted to external servers, which eliminates a significant category of privacy and security risk. We do not have access to your files at any point, and there is no server-side storage of your media to protect or breach. For the limited data we do handle - such as anonymized analytics and contact form submissions - we take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect it against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. Our website is served over HTTPS to ensure encrypted communication between your browser and our servers. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. While we strive to protect any data we handle, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

8. Links to Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites and encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:

Access the personal information we hold about you
Request correction or deletion of your personal information
Object to or restrict the processing of your data
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority

Since we collect very little personal information and your files are never sent to our servers, most of these rights may have limited practical application in the context of our services. However, if you have any questions or requests regarding your data, please contact us.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of our website or services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
