This page describes how TG Downloader handles information for our website, browser extension, and the Telegram Video Downloader mobile app. The sections below about the website and extension remain unchanged. The Mobile App Privacy Supplement at the end applies only to the Android application.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, TG Downloader collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. TG Downloader's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how TG Downloader's visitors use its website. From time to time, TG Downloader may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

TG Downloader also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blog. TG Downloader only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.


Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to TG Downloader's Website choose to interact with TG Downloader in ways that require TG Downloader to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that TG Downloader gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. Those who engage in transactions with TG Downloader are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, TG Downloader collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with TG Downloader. TG Downloader does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.


Aggregated Statistics

TG Downloader may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website. TG Downloader may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, TG Downloader does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.


Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

TG Downloader discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on TG Downloader's behalf or to provide services available at TG Downloader's website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using TG Downloader's websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. TG Downloader will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, TG Downloader discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when TG Downloader believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of TG Downloader, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a TG Downloader website and have supplied your email address, TG Downloader may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what's going on with TG Downloader and our products. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. TG Downloader takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.


Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. TG Downloader uses cookies to help TG Downloader identify and track visitors, their usage of TG Downloader website, and their website access preferences. TG Downloader visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using TG Downloader's websites, with the drawback that certain features of TG Downloader's websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.


Business Transfers

If TG Downloader, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that TG Downloader goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of TG Downloader may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.


Ads

TG Downloader's website does not participate in any advertising network and therefore does not transfer any cookie related information to any 3rd parties.


Accessing and Correcting Your Information

You can help ensure that your contact information and preferences are accurate, complete, and up to date by logging in to your account at TG Downloader. For other personal information we hold, we will provide you with access for any purpose including to request that we correct the data if it is inaccurate or delete the data if we are not required to retain it by law or for legitimate business purposes. We may decline to process requests that are frivolous/vexatious, jeopardize the privacy of others, are extremely impractical, or for which access is not otherwise required by local law.


California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you may have certain additional rights. California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits you to request information regarding the disclosure of your personal information by us to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. California Business and Professions Code Section 22581 permits registered users who are minors to request and obtain deletion of certain posted content.


Comments

Comments and other content submitted to us are saved on our servers.


Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, TG Downloader may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in TG Downloader's sole discretion. TG Downloader encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.


Mobile App Privacy Supplement — Telegram Video Downloader (Android)

This section applies only to the mobile application Telegram Video Downloader (Android package name: com.tgvideodownloader.saver), available on Google Play and other channels we authorize. It does not replace the website and browser-extension sections above; it adds App-specific details required for mobile distribution and your use of the App.

If anything in this supplement conflicts with the general sections above as they relate to the App, this supplement controls for your use of the App.

What the App does

The App lets you sign in with your own Telegram account, browse photos and videos in groups and channels you already have access to, and save selected media to your device for offline viewing and personal backup.

The App is not an official Telegram product and is not affiliated with Telegram Messenger Inc. or its affiliates. You may only access content your Telegram account is already permitted to see.

Information we process (App)

By default, we do not operate a cloud database to collect or store your chats, contacts, or saved media on our servers.

Data typeStored on our servers?Where it is handled
Phone number (for sign-in)NoSent to Telegram for authentication; not stored by us
Verification codesNoDelivered by Telegram via SMS or the official Telegram app—not inside this App
Sign-in sessionNoStored locally in the App’s private storage
Chat/media metadata you can accessNoSynced via Telegram; displayed locally
Photos/videos you choose to saveNoWritten to a folder on your device
App settings (save path, Wi‑Fi only, concurrency, etc.)NoStored on your device
Demo mode sample contentNoGenerated locally; no Telegram connection
Crash/analytics to our backendNo (current version)We do not run a separate analytics or crash-reporting backend

We do not sell your personal information through the App.

How we use App information

We use information only to:

  • complete sign-in and sync conversations and media you are allowed to access;
  • preview, filter, and save media you explicitly request;
  • show optional download progress or completion notifications;
  • maintain stability and security within the scope above.

We do not use your data for advertising profiles, gallery scanning, or undisclosed background collection.

Telegram and third-party services (App)

The App communicates with Telegram’s services using standard client protocols (including TDLib) to authenticate your account and sync content you can already access. That processing is also governed by Telegram’s own policies: https://telegram.org/privacy

We do not control Telegram’s servers. Aside from Telegram and legal requirements, we do not share your personal data with third parties for their marketing purposes.

Current version: the App does not include third-party advertising SDKs or our own analytics/crash-reporting backend. If we add such services in the future, we will update this policy and, where required, the Google Play Data safety form.

Device permissions (App)

The App may request:

PermissionPurpose
InternetSign-in and syncing media metadata with Telegram
Network stateDetect connectivity (e.g., Wi‑Fi-only downloads)
Notifications (optional)Progress or completion alerts for save tasks
Photos / videos / storage (depending on Android version)Save and manage files only when you start a save to a location on your device

We do not use photo or video permissions to scan your entire gallery or upload your existing library to our servers. You can revoke permissions in Android settings; some features may stop working.

Demo mode (Try demo)

For users who cannot receive Telegram verification codes (including app store reviewers), the App offers Try demo on the sign-in screen. Demo mode uses local sample chats and media only, does not connect to Telegram, and does not upload data to us. You can exit demo mode from Settings.

Storage, retention, and deletion (App)

  • Sign-in session and preferences remain on your device until you sign out, clear app data, or uninstall.
  • Saved media remain in the folder you choose until you delete them with a file manager.
ActionEffect
Sign out / Exit demoClears the local sign-in session
Clear app data / UninstallRemoves private App storage
Delete saved filesUse your file manager; not removed automatically on sign-out

Children’s privacy (App)

The App is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). If you believe a child provided information to us, contact us.

Security and your responsibilities (App)

We use reasonable measures to protect information within our control, but no method of storage or transmission is completely secure. You are responsible for securing your device and Telegram account. Use the App only for content you are legally allowed to access and save, and comply with local laws and Telegram’s terms.

Changes to this supplement

We may update this supplement by posting a revised version on this page. Material App-related changes may also be noted in the App when practical.
