Privacy Policy for Patreon Media Downloader

Effective date: June 20, 2025

Patreon Media Downloader Team ("us", "we", or "our") operates the Patreon Media Downloader Chrome extension (the "Service").

This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.

We use your data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information Collection and Use

We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service to you.

Types of Data Collected

Personal Data

While using our Service, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you ("Personal Data"). This includes:

  • Email address
  • Password (for authentication purposes only)

Your email and password are sent to our authentication provider, Supabase, to verify your identity and manage your account. We do not store your password locally.

Cookies

Our Service accesses cookies from Patreon to facilitate the download functionality. These cookies are sent to our server to process your download requests.

Download Request Data

When you initiate a download, we collect the following data to process your request:

  • Post URL
  • Media URL
  • Media type
  • Post name
  • Creator name

This data is sent to our server to generate the download link.

Local Storage Data

We store authentication session data locally in your browser to maintain your login state. Additionally, we store non-sensitive data, such as download status, using Chrome's storage API.

Use of Data

Patreon Media Downloader uses the collected data for the following purposes:

  • To authenticate users and manage login sessions
  • To process media download requests from Patreon
  • To display user profile information (e.g., name, email, credits) in the extension popup
  • To store non-sensitive data like download status for the extension's functionality

Transfer of Data

Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Data, to the United States and process it there.

Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

Patreon Media Downloader will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and no transfer of your Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place, including the security of your data and other personal information.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We may share your data with third-party service providers to facilitate our Service:

Supabase: We use Supabase for user authentication. Your email and password are sent to Supabase for verification. Please refer to Supabase's privacy policy for more information: Supabase Privacy Policy

Additionally, when you initiate a download, your Patreon cookies and download request data are sent to our server hosted on Heroku to process the download. We do not share this data with any other third parties.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).

Data Security

We take the security of your data seriously. We use encryption to protect sensitive data, such as cookies and download request data, before transmitting it to our server. Authentication is handled securely by Supabase. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

User Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Since authentication is managed by Supabase, you can manage your account through their platform. You can also log out of the extension to clear local session data.

Children's Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 18 ("Children"). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

Links to Other Sites

Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us, such as links to Patreon posts. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "effective date." You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
