Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 1, 2026
This policy explains what Thumbnail Downloads ("we", "us"), reachable athttps://thumbnaildownloads.com, collects when you use the site, why it is collected, and the control you have over it. If anything here is unclear, contact us at support@thumbnaildownloads.com.
Information We Do Not Collect
We do not ask you to create an account, and there is no login on this site. We do not collect your name, address, or payment details. The YouTube links you paste into the extractor are processed entirely inside your browser: the page reads the video ID out of the URL and builds image addresses from it. Those links are never transmitted to us and never stored.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider records standard server log data when a page is requested. This may include your IP address, browser type and version, the pages you visited, the time of the visit, and the referring page. This data is not linked to any identity, and we use it only to diagnose errors, measure overall traffic, and detect abuse.
Cookies
A cookie is a small file placed on your device by a website. This site sets no cookies of its own for tracking purposes. Cookies you may encounter come from third parties described below, mainly for advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; the thumbnail extractor keeps working normally without them.
Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising
This site is supported by advertising. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and other sites on the internet.
- Google uses the DoubleClick DART cookie to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of third-party vendor cookies more broadly at aboutads.info/choices.
Third-party ad servers or networks may use technologies such as cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons in the advertisements shown on this site. They receive your IP address automatically when this happens. We have no access to or control over the cookies used by these third parties, and this policy does not cover their practices. Consult each advertiser's own privacy policy for details and opt-out instructions.
Images Loaded From YouTube
Thumbnail previews are loaded directly from Google's servers at img.youtube.com. Because your browser requests those images itself, Google receives your IP address and standard request headers as part of serving them. That exchange is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
Your Rights Under GDPR
If you are in the European Economic Area, you have the right to access, correct, or erase your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to data portability. Since we do not maintain user accounts or profiles, in practice there is almost nothing held about you beyond short-lived server logs. To make a request, email us and we will respond within 30 days.
Your Rights Under CCPA
California residents may request disclosure of the categories of personal information collected, request deletion of that information, and opt out of its sale. We do not sell personal information. Requests can be sent to the contact address above.
Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will remove it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as the site changes. Revisions are posted on this page with a new "last updated" date. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised policy.
