1. Introduction
Welcome to TikOsa. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy will inform you as to how we look after your personal data when you visit our website and tell you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.
2. The Data We Collect About You
We believe in data minimization. When you use TikOsa to download videos:
- We do not require you to create an account.
- We do not collect your name, email address, or any identifiable personal information unless you explicitly provide it (e.g., when using our contact form).
- We do not log or store the URLs or content of the videos you download. All processing happens in real-time and memory is flushed immediately.
3. Cookies and Tracking
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our website and hold certain information. We use these specifically for:
- Analytics: To understand how visitors interact with our website (e.g., Google Analytics).
- Advertising: To serve relevant ads to our users (e.g., Google AdSense). Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to your website or other websites.
4. Advertising and Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense Advertising on our website.
Google's advertising requirements can be summed up by Google's Advertising Principles. They are put in place to provide a positive experience for users. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to our users based on previous visits to our site and other sites on the Internet. Users may opt-out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network privacy policy.
5. Data Security & Server Memory Processing
TikOsa operates on a zero-retention real-time processing architecture. When a user submits a TikTok video link for processing, our edge server parses the request in RAM, fetches the media stream directly from public CDN endpoints, and pipes the output stream directly to your browser. Video files, thumbnail graphics, and MP3 audio clips are never written to permanent disk storage or stored in database systems.
6. European Privacy Rights (GDPR)
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), users located within the European Economic Area (EEA) possess specific privacy rights regarding their personal information:
- Right to Erasure: Because we do not mandate user registration or store user activity logs, no personal profile data persists on our systems.
- Right to Object & Opt-Out: You have the right to object to third-party ad personalization by adjusting your browser cookie consent preferences.
- Data Portability: Any communications sent voluntarily via our support channels can be requested or erased at any time upon written notification.
7. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)
California residents have the right under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) to request disclosures regarding the collection and sale of personal information. TikOsa does not sell, rent, or trade personal user data to third-party data brokers. Non-personally identifiable browser telemetry may be processed by Google Analytics solely for site health monitoring.
8. Children's Online Privacy Protection (COPPA)
TikOsa does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13. Our utility is designed for general audiences seeking public content backup tools. If you believe a minor has submitted personal contact information to us, please notify our support team for immediate deletion.
9. Updates to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect technological changes, regulatory requirements, or service additions. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" revision date at the top of the policy.
