Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to AVPinDownloader ("we", "us", "our"), available at avpindownloader.us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website or use our Pinterest video downloader tool, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide

• Pinterest links: When you paste a Pinterest link into the downloader, we use it only to find the public video connected to that Pin.
• Contact messages: If you email us or use our contact form, we receive your name, email address and the message you send.

Information collected automatically

• IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system and language.
• Pages visited, time spent, referring website and approximate location (country or city level).
• Cookies and similar technologies (see section 5).

We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not collect your name, phone number or payment details to use the tool.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To process your Pinterest link and let you download the available video.
• To operate, secure and improve the website and the downloader.
• To understand how visitors use the site through analytics.
• To show advertising that keeps the service free.
• To respond to your messages, and to handle copyright or legal requests.
• To prevent abuse, spam and misuse of the tool.

4. Downloads and Stored Content

We do not host Pinterest videos on our own servers and we do not keep a library of videos you download. The video is delivered to your browser. To make downloads work reliably, some requests may pass through a third-party network such as Cloudflare. Pinterest links you submit may be processed by our server and by trusted service providers so we can find the video file. Temporary technical logs (for example, request time and error messages) may be kept for a short period for security and troubleshooting.

5. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our partners use them to:

• Keep the website working properly.
• Measure traffic and performance.
• Show and measure advertising.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you do, some parts of the site may not work as expected. Where the law requires it, we ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies.

6. Advertising (Google AdSense)

We use third-party advertising companies, including Google, to show ads on our website. Google and its partners use cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to show ads to you based on your browsing activity.

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also visit aboutads.info to opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising. To learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

7. Analytics and Third-Party Services

We may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how people use our website. These tools may collect your IP address, device information and pages visited. We also rely on service providers such as web hosting, Cloudflare (network and security) and video-lookup services to run the tool. These providers only receive the information needed to do their job and have their own privacy policies.

8. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only:

• With service providers who help us run the website (hosting, security, analytics, advertising).
• When required by law, court order or a valid legal request.
• To protect our rights, our users or the security of the website.

9. Data Retention and Security

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, or as required by law. We use reasonable technical measures, including HTTPS encryption, to protect your information. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your Rights

Depending on where you live (for example, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or California), you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. We do not discriminate against users who exercise these rights. To make a request, email us at contact@avpindownloader.us. We will respond within a reasonable time.

11. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

12. External Links

Our website may link to other websites, including Pinterest. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.

13. International Visitors

Our website and service providers may be located in different countries. By using the site, you understand that your information may be processed outside your own country.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review it regularly.
