privacy policy

👋about

hey, im just one person who hasn't even graduated high school yet. i made yoink.tools in my free time because i felt inspired by cool websites like cobalt.tools and vert.sh, and i wanted an all-in-one website combining all the awesome frickin aspects of them. im not a company, i dont have investors, and i dont want anything from you.

this privacy policy is written in plain english because legal jargon is annoying.

📊what i collect

when you have analytics enabled (on by default), i collect:

• format preferences - which file formats are popular (mp4, mp3, etc.)
• download counts - how many downloads, conversions, and compressions happen
• country data - derived from your IP address, but i dont store the IP itself
• daily visitor counts - how many unique visitors per day

that's it.

🙅what i DON'T collect

i never, ever collect:

• URLs you download - your browsing is your business
• video titles or content - nope
• your IP address - i use it to get country, then forget it
• cookies for tracking - only settings are stored locally
• anything identifying you personally - i literally cant tell users apart

🤔why collect anything?

its useful to see what features people use so i can prioritize what to work on next. no monetization, no selling data, no ads.

🔒opting out

dont want to be part of the stats? head to settings, click the privacy tab, and flip the toggle.

💾where data is stored

analytics data is stored on my server in a JSON file. your settings (quality preferences, etc.) are stored in your browser's localStorage and never leave your device.
