Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

Short version: We collect almost nothing. We don't store your downloads. We don't sell your data. Your Instagram credentials are never asked for — ever. Read on for the full details.

1. Who we are

VideoDL.xyz is an independent online tool for downloading publicly available Instagram content. We are not affiliated with Instagram or Meta Platforms, Inc. in any way.

2. What we collect

We collect the minimum needed to run the service:

URLs you submit: Sent to our server to process your download. Not stored after the request is complete.
Basic server logs: Standard info like IP address and browser type, used only for security monitoring. Deleted regularly.
Cookies: Minimal cookies for site functionality and ads. No tracking cookies that build user profiles.

3. What we do NOT collect

Your Instagram username or password — we never ask
Your name, email, or personal details
A history of what you've downloaded
Payment or financial information

4. How we use data

Only to process your download request, maintain server security, and understand general traffic patterns. We do not sell or share your information with third parties for marketing.

5. Advertising

We display ads to keep the service free. Our ad partners (including Google AdSense) may use cookies for ad delivery. You can opt out via your browser settings or at aboutads.info.

6. Data retention

Download requests are not stored beyond your session. Server logs are deleted within 30 days.

7. Your rights

Because we collect so little, there's very little to act on. If you have any concern, contact us and we'll respond promptly.

8. Changes

We may update this policy occasionally. Changes are reflected in the "Last updated" date above. Continued use means you accept any updates.
