What the service processes
When you submit a public Instagram link, SnapVidown sends the normalized URL to its resolver so the requested public media can be identified. An Instagram account, password or private-profile cookie is not requested.
- The public post URL you submit.
- A short-lived, salted hash derived from the request IP for abuse prevention.
- Technical events such as request ID, result type, item count, outcome and processing time.
Media handling
SnapVidown does not intentionally store or retransmit the media file in its normal download path. The resolver returns a temporary source address and the browser requests the selected file from the media provider's CDN.
Application logs are designed not to contain the complete Instagram URL or the returned temporary media URL.
Infrastructure providers
Cloudflare currently provides hosting, network delivery, security and operational logging. As a result, Cloudflare may process network information such as IP addresses and request headers under its own terms and privacy documentation.
Advertising and measurement
The pre-launch version reserves visual ad spaces but does not load Google AdSense, advertising cookies or analytics tags. The integration remains technically disabled until the final domain, publisher identifiers, site approval, a Google-certified consent platform and the production security policy are ready.
If advertising is enabled after launch, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses or other identifiers to serve and measure ads. Where required, the certified consent platform will be presented before optional advertising storage is used. Users can revisit eligible choices through the privacy and cookie settings control.
Retention and choices
Volatile rate-limit records expire automatically and operational logs are retained only as needed for reliability, security and abuse investigation. You may decline optional advertising or measurement choices when those services are introduced.
Your responsibility
Only submit links and download material that you own or are authorized to use. Do not include personal or confidential information in the URL field.
Questions
Privacy questions can be sent to support@snapvidown.com through the official domain's support channel.
