Video Catcher – Video Downloader is a browser extension that detects supported downloadable video files and HLS media streams on webpages and allows users to download selected media.
Video Catcher may process limited webpage and network information that is necessary to detect supported media. This can include page titles, page URLs, media URLs, image or poster URLs, media metadata, and media-related network requests.
This information is used only to provide the extension's core functionality, such as identifying available media, generating filenames, displaying available media options, selecting tracks, and downloading media chosen by the user.
Video Catcher does not sell user data.
Video Catcher does not transfer user data to third parties for advertising, profiling, credit eligibility, or purposes unrelated to the extension's single purpose.
The extension does not intentionally collect names, email addresses, payment information, passwords, health information, personal communications, or precise location data.
The extension may store temporary media detection data, download job information, extension preferences, and related state in the browser's local extension storage. This information is used to operate the extension and manage user-requested downloads.
Video Catcher may access media files, HLS manifests, media segments, subtitles, and related resources hosted on the webpage or on third-party content delivery networks. These requests are made only as needed to detect or download media selected by the user.
Video Catcher does not execute remotely hosted code. Executable JavaScript required by the extension is included within the extension package.
Video Catcher operates on webpages and media resources provided by third parties. Those websites and services may have their own privacy policies and terms of use. Video Catcher does not control those third-party services.
Video Catcher is intended for downloading media that the user is authorized or permitted to download. DRM-protected streams and YouTube downloads are not supported.
This Privacy Policy may be updated when the extension's functionality or data practices change. The latest version will be published on this page.
