# Privacy Policy
**Application:** Crazy Downloader | **Package:** `com.crazydownloader.app` | **Effective Date:** August 30, 2026 | **Version:** 2.0
>
**Summary:** Crazy Downloader is designed to keep download processing on your device. We do not sell personal information. Download history and preferences are stored in encrypted app storage; downloaded media is saved in the device location you select and is not encrypted by the Application. Requests to fetch media are sent directly to the source platform, and Google AdMob and Google Play Billing process limited data as described below.
## 1. Introduction & Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how **Crazy Downloader** (referred to herein as "the Application", "we", "us", or "our", package name: `com.crazydownloader.app`) accesses, collects, uses, stores, and discloses information when you use our mobile application distributed via the Google Play Store.
By installing, accessing, or using the Application, you acknowledge and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please uninstall and discontinue use of the Application.
## 2. Information Collection & Data Types
We believe in minimal data processing. The Application handles the following categories of information:
### A. User-Provided Media URLs & Download History (App Activity)
- **Data Processed:** Public URLs submitted or pasted by the user for media analysis, extraction, and downloading.
- **Purpose:** Processed on-device to query the source platform for metadata (such as title, duration, and available streams) and to execute downloads requested by the user. The URL and related network request data, such as the device IP address and request headers, are necessarily transmitted to the source platform and its service providers.
- **Storage & Retention:** Download history and preferences are stored locally within `EncryptedSharedPreferences`. We do not transmit or store entered URLs on developer-operated servers. Source platforms may process requests under their own privacy policies.
### B. Advertising Identifiers & Device Information (Google AdMob)
- **Third-Party Service:** The Application integrates the **Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob)** to display banner, interstitial, and rewarded ads to free-tier users.
- **Data Collected by AdMob:** Google Advertising ID (AAID), device identifiers, IP address, general device performance metrics, and coarse diagnostic info.
- **Purpose:** Ad delivery, frequency capping, anti-fraud verification, and ad performance reporting.
- **Consent Management:** We utilize the **Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) SDK** to present a certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) dialog, allowing users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK, and applicable US states (such as California under CCPA/CPRA) to grant, deny, or customize consent for personalized advertising and cookie/identifier usage.
- **Choices:** Where required, the UMP privacy-options interface lets users review or change advertising consent. Android system settings may also provide controls for ad personalization or the Advertising ID. Premium users are not shown ads, although the Google Mobile Ads SDK remains included in the Application.
### C. Financial Information & Subscriptions (Google Play Billing)
- **Third-Party Service:** All Premium upgrades, purchases, and subscriptions are processed exclusively via the official **Google Play In-App Billing API**.
- **Data Handled:** We do not collect, process, or store credit card numbers, bank account information, or sensitive financial data. The Application only receives cryptographically signed purchase tokens from Google Play to verify Premium status locally.
- **Storage:** Purchase tokens and verification timestamps are cached locally in `EncryptedSharedPreferences` to provide offline access to Premium features during active subscription periods.
### D. Local Platform Session Cookies (Optional Login)
- **Purpose:** If you choose to log into supported platforms via the built-in isolated WebView to download your private or authorized media, session cookies are stored strictly in the private app sandbox.
- **Security:** Session cookies are not sent to developer-operated servers. They are supplied directly to the selected platform as needed to authenticate user-requested access, so that platform and its service providers receive them. You can wipe stored platform cookies at any time via App Settings.
### E. WhatsApp Status Saver (Local Storage Access)
- **Purpose:** If you use the optional WhatsApp Status Saver feature, the Application requests folder access via the Android Storage Access Framework (SAF) to read locally cached status media on your device and copy selected files to your public Gallery/Downloads directory.
- **Data Handling:** No status media is ever uploaded, shared, or transmitted off your device.
## 3. Android System Permissions & Why We Need Them
In accordance with Google Play's permissions policy, we request only the minimal permissions necessary for the Application's core functionality:
| Permission | Target Android Versions | Purpose / Justification |
| --- | --- | --- |
`INTERNET`
| All Versions | Required to connect to video hosting platforms, fetch metadata, download media streams, and load ads. |
`ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE`
| All Versions | Checks whether an active Wi-Fi or Cellular connection is present, respecting the user's "Wi-Fi Only" preference. |
`POST_NOTIFICATIONS`
| Android 13+ (API 33+) | Displays persistent download progress bars, completion alerts, and background service controls in the notification shade. |
`FOREGROUND_SERVICE` & `FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC`
| Android 9+ / Android 14+ | Ensures long-running file downloads continue smoothly without being killed when the application is placed in the background. |
`READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` / `WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE`
| Android 9 and below (API ≤ 28/32) | Required on legacy Android versions to write downloaded media files to the public Downloads folder. On Android 10+, the modern MediaStore API is used without requiring broad storage permissions. |
## 4. Data Retention & Deletion (Google Play Data Deletion Policy)
Because all download records, platform cookies, and app preferences are stored exclusively on your device, you have complete control over your data deletion:
1. **In-App History Deletion:** Open the Application > Settings > Tap **"Clear History"**. This immediately wipes all recorded download entries from local encrypted storage.
2. **Platform Session Deletion:** In Settings > Platform Accounts > Tap **"Logout / Clear Cookies"** to immediately remove all stored login sessions.
3. **Complete Application Data Wipe:** Go to your device's **Settings > Apps > Crazy Downloader > Storage > Clear Storage / Clear Data**. This permanently purges all local databases, cached files, encryption keys, and preferences.
4. **Uninstalling the App:** Uninstalling the Application automatically removes all private sandboxed data and encryption keys from your device.
5. **Assistance & Inquiries:** If you have any questions or require assistance regarding data deletion, email our privacy team at support@cibru.in.
## 5. Children's Privacy (COPPA & Google Play Families Policy)
Our Application is intended for adults aged 18 and older and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the Application, contact us using the details below.
## 6. Third-Party Service Providers & Open-Source Libraries
The Application relies on trusted third-party SDKs and open-source tools to deliver core capabilities:
- **Google Play Services & Google AdMob:** For advertising and billing services. Governed by Google Privacy Policy and Google Ads Policy.
- **Google User Messaging Platform (UMP):** For IAB TCF v2.2 compliant user consent management in the EEA, UK, and US.
- **youtubedl-android & FFmpeg:** Embedded open-source command line engines running locally on-device for format extraction and media muxing. These engines run purely on-device and do not transmit analytics or user data.
## 7. Data Security Measures
We implement industry-standard technical and organizational security measures:
- **Encryption in Transit:** All network communications use Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS). Cleartext HTTP traffic is disabled across the application (`usesCleartextTraffic="false"`).
- **Encryption at Rest:** Local settings, tokens, and preferences are protected with `EncryptedSharedPreferences` backed by the Android Keystore (AES-256 GCM).
- **SSRF & Input Validation:** URLs undergo strict validation against Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) and local network address exploitation before processing.
## 8. Your Rights Under GDPR & CCPA/CPRA
Depending on your geographic location, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws (such as GDPR in Europe or CCPA/CPRA in California):
- The right to know what personal data is processed.
- The right to access, rectify, or erase your data.
- The right to withdraw consent for personalized advertising at any time.
- The right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights.
Because we do not maintain centralized user accounts or server databases, exercising your right of erasure is instantly achieved on your device as described in Section 4.
## 9. Updates to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our legal obligations, features, or Google Play policies. Any updates will be posted on this page with an updated "Effective Date" and version number. Significant changes will also be notified within the application interface.
