> What Savely collects (very little), how long it is kept (not long) and who sees it (Google Analytics for visit counts, nobody else).

The short version: no accounts, no copies of the videos you download, and visit statistics through Google Analytics only.

## What we process

When you paste a link, our server reads it to find the downloadable files. The link and the file details are cached for about 30 minutes so a second click is instant. After that they are deleted automatically.

To prevent abuse, we count requests per visitor. The counter is keyed by a salted one-way hash of your IP address, not the address itself, and it is cleared within an hour.

## Server logs

Like most websites, our web server may keep standard access logs (IP address, time, page requested) for security and troubleshooting. They are rotated and deleted on a regular schedule.

## Cookies

We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are useful. It sets its own cookies (named _ga), which hold a random ID, not your name or the links you paste. Google processes this data under its own privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

You can block it with any tracker blocker or with Google's opt-out add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout). The site works exactly the same without it. We set no other cookies.

## Third parties

To fetch a post we contact the platform it came from: Facebook, Instagram or TikTok. They see a request from our server, not from you. Apart from Google Analytics (see Cookies), we do not sell, rent or share data with anyone.
