Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2 April 2026

Welcome to fastvidl.com ("we," "our," or "us"). Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains in clear, straightforward language how we handle information when you use our content downloader service for Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest at fastvidl.com (the "Website" or "Service").

Our Commitment to You

We believe in transparency. This policy tells you exactly what information we collect, why we collect it, and what choices you have. We've written this in plain English because privacy policies shouldn't require a law degree to understand.

What Information We Collect

Information You Provide to Us

Content URLs: When you paste a URL from Instagram (reels, videos, photos, stories, IGTV), Facebook (reels, videos), or Pinterest (images, videos) to download content, we temporarily process this URL to provide our service. Important: We do NOT permanently store these URLs or the downloaded content.

Contact Information: If you reach out through our contact form, we collect only your name and email address to respond to your inquiry.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our Website, certain technical information is automatically collected:

• Browser Information: Type, version, and language settings
• Device Information: Device type, operating system, and screen resolution
• Usage Data: Pages you visit, time spent on our site, where you came from (referring URLs), and what you click on
• Location Data: Your approximate geographic location (country or region level only, based on IP address)
• Cookies: Small text files stored on your device to improve functionality and user experience

What We DO NOT Collect

We want to be crystal clear about what we don't do:

• We do NOT require you to create an account or log in
• We do NOT store your downloaded videos, images, or any content
• We do NOT track your Instagram, Facebook, or Pinterest accounts
• We do NOT access your social media credentials or passwords
• We do NOT collect personal identification documents
• We do NOT permanently store the URLs you submit
• We do NOT collect payment information (our service is free)
• We do NOT monitor what content you download

How We Use Your Information

We use collected information only for legitimate purposes:

• Service Delivery: Processing URLs from Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest to provide download functionality
• Website Improvement: Analyzing how visitors use our site to make it better and faster
• Technical Operations: Maintaining security, preventing abuse, and optimizing performance
• Customer Support: Responding to your questions and helping resolve issues
• Analytics: Understanding visitor behavior to improve user experience
• Advertising: Displaying relevant ads through third-party advertising networks (explained in detail below)

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to make our Website work properly and provide you with a better experience.

Essential Cookies (Required)

These cookies are necessary for the Website to function and cannot be disabled:

• Session management and security
• Basic website functionality
• Form submission processing

Measurement cookies (Google tag)

We load Google tag (gtag.js) on the site for measurement and advertising-related signals tied to our Google Ads account. Depending on your browser settings and Google's policies, this may involve cookies or similar storage to attribute visits and conversions. Google's documentation describes how those technologies work: Google Privacy Policy, How Google uses information from sites that use their services.

Your choices: You can manage ad personalization and related Google settings at Google Ads Settings, and use industry tools such as aboutads.info/choices (US) or youronlinechoices.com (EU).

Advertising & consent (Ezoic)

We use Ezoic to help deliver and optimize advertising, analytics, and consent management on fastvidl.com. Ezoic and its partners may set cookies or use similar technologies. Ezoic's privacy policy is here: https://www.ezoic.com/privacy-policy/. Consent-related scripts (for example Gatekeeper CMP) may load as part of that stack.

Social sharing (ShareThis)

We may load ShareThis scripts for optional sharing features. ShareThis sets its own cookies and processes data under its policies—see ShareThis documentation for details.

Third-party advertising, measurement, and partners

How this fits together

FastVidl is supported by advertising. In the current build of the site we integrate Ezoic (ads, analytics, optimization, and consent tooling), the Google tag for measurement tied to Google Ads, and ShareThis for sharing UI. We do not currently load standalone Google AdSense script on pages; if that changes, we will update this policy.

Personalized vs. non-personalized ads

• Personalized ads: May use interests, prior visits, or similar signals as allowed by your consent settings and partner policies.
• Non-personalized ads: May be shown based more on page context when personalization is off or unavailable.

What can influence the ads you see

Depending on partners and your settings, ads may be influenced by factors such as:

• The page you are viewing on fastvidl.com
• General geography (such as country/region)
• Device and browser type
• Partner-specific profiles or cohorts where permitted

Your advertising choices

Use the consent tools shown on the site where available, adjust browser cookie settings, and review partner opt-outs (Google, Ezoic, ShareThis, and industry programs linked above). Blocking all cookies can break parts of the downloader experience.

Website translation (Google Translate)

FastVidl offers optional page translation via Google Website Translator (Google LLC). When you choose a language from the header menu, Google loads scripts from translate.google.com to translate visible text in your browser. Google may use cookies (such as googtrans) to remember your language choice. Translation happens on your device through Google's service; we do not send your content to our servers for translation.

See Google's Privacy Policy for how Google handles data. You can clear translation cookies in your browser or select the original language in the menu to stop using the feature.

Data Retention — How Long We Keep Information

We believe in keeping data only as long as necessary:

Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some web browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals websites you don't want to be tracked.

Current Status: Our Website does not currently respond to DNT signals or similar mechanisms because there is no industry-wide standard for interpreting DNT signals.
