1. Information We Collect

YTGrab is a client-side tool that runs entirely in your browser. We do not collect any personally identifiable information (PII). Specifically, we do not collect:

• Your name, email address, or contact details
• The YouTube URLs you paste into the tool
• Your IP address or device identifiers
• Browsing history, cookies, or session data
• Payment or financial information (we charge nothing)

When you use the thumbnail grabber, your browser communicates directly with YouTube's public image servers (img.youtube.com). We do not act as an intermediary or log these requests.

2. Cookies & Tracking

YTGrab does not use cookies, local storage for tracking, or any third-party analytics scripts (e.g., Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel) to monitor your behaviour.

Your browser may cache static page assets (HTML, CSS, fonts) for performance — this is standard browser behaviour that you can control through your browser settings.

3. Third-Party Services

The tool loads the Inter font from Google Fonts, which may result in a request to Google's servers. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for details on how they handle font loading requests.

Thumbnail images are served directly from YouTube's CDN (img.youtube.com). YouTube's own privacy policy applies to these requests.

4. Children's Privacy

YTGrab is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us and we will promptly remove it.

5. Data Security

Because we collect no personal data, there is no personal data to secure. All tool functionality runs locally in your browser. No data is transmitted to our servers.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

7. Contact Us

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us. We're happy to clarify anything.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using YTGrab ("the Service"), you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

YTGrab is a free, browser-based tool that allows users to retrieve publicly available thumbnail images associated with YouTube videos. The Service does not host, store, or redistribute any YouTube content. It simply constructs publicly accessible image URLs from YouTube's own CDN.

3. Permitted Use

You may use YTGrab for lawful purposes only, including:

• Personal reference, research, or archival purposes
• Educational use, commentary, and criticism
• Development and testing of applications
• Analyzing thumbnail design trends

4. Prohibited Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Infringe upon the copyright or intellectual property rights of YouTube video creators
• Use downloaded thumbnails commercially without the original creator's permission
• Automate or script excessive requests in a manner that could disrupt YouTube's infrastructure
• Misrepresent the origin of thumbnail images or remove watermarks/branding
• Use the Service for any illegal, harmful, or deceptive purpose

5. Intellectual Property

YouTube video thumbnails are the intellectual property of the respective video creators and/or YouTube (Google LLC). YTGrab does not claim ownership of any thumbnail images. By downloading thumbnails, you acknowledge that you are responsible for ensuring your use complies with applicable copyright laws and YouTube's Terms of Service.

The YTGrab website design, code, and branding are the property of YTGrab. You may not reproduce or redistribute them without written permission.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any particular thumbnail will be available at any given time, as availability depends entirely on YouTube's servers.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, YTGrab shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of or inability to use the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

8. Third-Party Links & Services

YTGrab may contain links to third-party websites (e.g., YouTube). We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of those sites. Visiting them is at your own discretion and risk.

9. Modifications to the Service

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service at any time without notice. We also reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

10. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the relevant courts.
