Privacy Policy

SC Downloader (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website scdownloader.me and related services. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we may collect when you visit or use our Service, how we use and protect that information, and your rights regarding your personal data. By using our Service, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

We minimize the amount of data we collect. Specifically: • Automatically Collected Data — When you access our Service, our servers may log standard technical information provided by your browser, including your IP address (processed only in truncated, anonymized form for geographic estimation), browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, and timestamps of your visit. • Email Address (Premium Only) — If you choose to upgrade to Premium via Ko-fi, the email address associated with your Ko-fi transaction is used solely to authenticate your Premium session. We do not send marketing emails, and your email is never shared with third parties. • Cookies & Local Storage — We use essential cookies required for the Service to function (such as session tokens for authenticated users), and our advertising partners may set their own cookies to serve relevant ads.

Any information we collect serves a limited, specific purpose: • Anonymized analytics help us understand aggregate usage patterns so we can improve performance and reliability. • Your Premium email is used exclusively to verify your subscription status and grant access to Premium features. • Technical logs assist us in detecting and preventing abuse, ensuring the Service remains available for all users. We never sell, rent, trade, or share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Our Service uses cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality (e.g., keeping you logged in during a Premium session). In addition, we work with third-party advertising networks that may serve ads on our pages and may use cookies, web beacons, or similar tracking technologies to collect information about your browsing activity across different websites. These technologies allow advertisers to tailor ads to your interests. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect parts of the Service.

Our website may contain links to external websites and integrates with third-party services such as Ko-fi (for Premium payments). Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of any third-party service you interact with. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or data practices of external sites and services.

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to safeguard your information, including encrypted HTTPS connections, secure cookie handling, and strict access controls on our servers. While no system can guarantee absolute security, we are committed to protecting the data entrusted to us and regularly review our practices to address emerging threats.

Technical server logs are retained for no longer than 90 days, after which they are automatically purged. Premium email addresses are kept for the duration of your subscription plus a short grace period for renewal. You may request deletion of your email from our systems at any time by contacting us — we will process such requests within 30 days.

Our Service is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we discover that a child has provided us with personal data, we will delete that information promptly. If you believe this has occurred, please contact us immediately.

SC Downloader is accessible worldwide. If you are accessing the Service from outside the United States, please be aware that your data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in servers located in the United States or other jurisdictions. By using our Service, you consent to any such transfer of your information.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, or delete your information, as well as the right to restrict or object to certain processing activities. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below. We will respond to all legitimate requests within 30 days.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. When we do, we will revise the “Effective” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy from time to time. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Privacy Policy, please reach out to us at [email protected]. We are committed to responding promptly and addressing any issues you may have.
