Privacy Policy
Last Updated: May 1, 2025
1. Introduction
Welcome to YTThumbPro ("we," "our," or "us"). We operate multiple free online tools including our YouTube Thumbnail Downloader, YouTube SEO Tools, and Circle Logo Maker. At YTThumbPro, we prioritize your privacy above all else, designing our tools to work with minimal data collection while delivering maximum functionality.
Our privacy commitment is built on these foundational principles:
- Privacy by Design: Every tool is engineered to protect your data from the ground up
- Local Processing: Most operations happen directly in your browser, not on our servers
- No Tracking: We don't create user profiles or track individuals across the web
- Transparent Practices: Clear, jargon-free explanations of how we handle information
By using any YTThumbPro service, you acknowledge our data practices described here. We may update this policy to reflect service improvements, with changes marked by the "Last Updated" date above.
2. What Information We Handle
2.1 YouTube Tools Data
For our YouTube-related tools (thumbnail downloader and SEO tools):
- Video URLs: Processed momentarily to deliver results, never permanently stored
- Tool Interactions: Anonymous counts of feature usage to guide improvements
- SEO Analysis: Text inputs are processed in real-time without personal context
2.2 Image Conversion
When using our Circle Logo Maker:
- Your Images: Stay entirely within your browser during conversion
- Preferences: Temporary storage of settings like border size in your local browser
- Output Files: Generated images are yours alone - we never access them
2.3 Service Analytics
To maintain quality, we collect:
- Operational Metrics: Aggregated data on tool performance and usage patterns
- Device Information: Browser type and basic system specs for compatibility
- Security Data: Anomaly detection to prevent service abuse
We've implemented IP anonymization across all analytics systems, and no tool requires personal registration to use.
