Privacy Policy

Effective date: January 1, 2025. Last updated: October 25, 2026.

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how YouAreTube ("we," "our," or "us") processes information in connection with your use of our service at https://youaretube.com.

By using YouAreTube, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy. We aim to process information only as necessary to operate, secure, maintain, and improve the service, and in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

YouAreTube is designed with privacy-focused principles. We do not require user accounts and do not intentionally collect or store:

• Personal identification information such as your name, phone number, or account credentials
• Account passwords or login credentials, because registration is not required
• Payment information directly through YouAreTube
• Download history on our servers, as the site's download history feature is stored locally in your browser

When you submit a YouTube URL for conversion, the URL is processed by our conversion infrastructure to perform the requested operation. We do not intend to permanently store submitted URLs.

2. Information Automatically Processed

Like most websites, our infrastructure and service providers may automatically process limited technical information for security, reliability, abuse prevention, and service operation. This may include:

• IP address: your IP address may be processed or logged by our hosting, security, or infrastructure providers for security and operational purposes.
• Browser information: standard technical information such as your User-Agent may be included in server or security logs.
• Request information: technical information associated with requests may be processed to provide the requested functionality and prevent abuse.

Technical information may be retained for a limited period by infrastructure or security providers according to their operational and retention policies.

3. Local Storage and Download History

YouAreTube includes a Download History feature that stores recent conversions locally in your browser using the browser's localStorage API.

• Your local download history is not intentionally uploaded to our servers by the History feature.
• The history is stored in your own browser and can be cleared from your browser or through the available site controls.
• Clearing your browser data may remove the stored history.
• You can disable local storage through your browser settings, although this may affect some site functionality.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies where necessary to operate and protect the service.

• Essential technologies: may be used to support security, sessions, or core site functionality.
• Functional technologies: may be used to remember preferences such as quality or interface settings.
• Analytics technologies: may be used where enabled to understand general usage and improve the service.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies or browser storage may affect some functionality.

5. Third-Party Services

YouAreTube uses or may use third-party services to operate and protect the website. These services may process technical information according to their own policies.

• Conversion API: submitted YouTube URLs are processed by our conversion backend to perform the requested conversion. We do not intend to permanently store submitted URLs.
• Cloudflare Turnstile: we use Cloudflare Turnstile to help prevent automated abuse and protect the service. Turnstile may process technical information necessary for its security function. For more information, see Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
• Hosting and infrastructure providers: our hosting and security infrastructure may process technical information such as IP addresses, request data, and browser information as necessary to provide and protect the service.
• Analytics: where analytics tools are enabled, they may process information about how visitors interact with the website according to their applicable privacy policies.

6. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect YouAreTube and the information processed through the service.

• Connections to the website are protected using HTTPS where supported.
• Security controls and headers may be used to reduce common web security risks.
• Access to infrastructure is restricted and protected using appropriate security measures.

No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or processed by the service.

10. Data Retention
