Threads Downloader ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our browser extension operates and what data (if any) is collected.
TL;DR: We don't collect, store, or transmit any personal data. All operations happen locally on your device.
Information We Collect
This extension does not collect any personal information. Specifically:
No browsing history or user activity is tracked
No personal identifiers are collected
No cookies or tracking pixels are used
No data is sent to external servers
How the Extension Works
Threads Downloader operates entirely on your device:
Identifies video and image content on Threads.com
Provides download buttons directly on the webpage
Provides post screenshot capture directly on the webpage
Processes downloads using your browser's built-in download functionality
Uses tab capture only when you trigger screenshot actions
Supports ZIP packaging using the JSZip library (all processing is local)
Data Processing
All processing of media files happens locally on your device. No data is uploaded to any server, and we have no access to:
Your downloaded files
Your screenshot images or capture results
Your Threads account or posts
Your browsing activity
Any other personal information
Permissions
The extension requires the following permissions to function:
activeTab - To interact with the currently active tab when the extension is used
storage - To save your extension settings locally
downloads - To initiate file downloads
webRequest - To detect Threads media requests needed to identify downloadable video and audio sources
offscreen - To process DASH media and create ZIP downloads in a hidden extension document
Host permissions - https://www.threads.com/*, https://*.fbcdn.net/*, and https://*.cdninstagram.com/* for the Threads page, media detection, and downloading media files
These permissions are only used for the features described above. Screenshot capture is only performed after explicit user action, and no captured content is transmitted to external services.
Your Rights
Since we don't collect any personal data, there is nothing to request, access, or delete. You have complete control over your downloaded files and can delete them anytime.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify users of any material changes by updating the "Last updated" date above.
