Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 5, 2026 • Platform: techrank.space

1. Introduction & Overview

Welcome to TechRank Tools ("we," "our," or "the Platform"), accessible via https://techrank.space. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any information that may be gathered while you utilize our free online media extraction utilities and web tools.

This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, handling, and non-retention of information when you access our 24+ free media downloaders (including Instagram Reels, YouTube Videos & MP3, TikTok Video without Watermarks, Facebook Videos, Pinterest, Twitter/X, and Snapchat).

2. The Zero-Disk Streaming Architecture (No Media Stored)

Our core architectural commitment: TechRank Tools operates a strict Zero-Disk pass-through streaming proxy.

  • No Media Files Stored: We do not download, save, cache, or archive any video files, audio tracks, or images on our physical server disks, cloud storage buckets, or databases.
  • Real-Time Transient Pass-Through: When you request a download, our server buffers temporary binary chunks directly from the official content delivery network (CDN) of the respective social media platform to your browser via a secure chunked stream.
  • Zero Retention: Once your download completes or terminates, zero bytes remain on our infrastructure.

3. Information We Collect and Process

TechRank Tools does not require user registration, account creation, passwords, credit card information, or phone numbers to use any of our free tools. We process only minimal, anonymous technical data necessary to deliver the service:

  • Submitted URLs: When you submit a social media link into our extraction forms, that URL is processed in real time solely to resolve the direct media CDN endpoint for your immediate download. Submitted URLs are not tied to personal identities.
  • Standard Server Logs: Like standard web hosts, our web server may log basic connection attributes (such as IP address, browser user-agent, referring page, and timestamp) strictly for abuse prevention, rate-limiting, and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) mitigation.

4. Google Analytics & Performance Tracking

We may utilize Google Analytics (GA4) to evaluate website traffic patterns, visitor geographic regions, device browser types, and tool usage frequencies.

  • IP Anonymization: IP anonymization is enforced by default on all analytics tracking requests.
  • Aggregated Insights: Analytics data is processed in aggregate without identifying individual users.
  • Opt-Out: You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time by installing the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. Cookies & Local Storage

TechRank Tools uses minimal, privacy-centric cookies and browser local storage:

  • Theme Preference: We store your preferred interface mode (Dark Theme or Light Theme) in your browser's localStorage so that your visual setting persists across page visits.
  • Security Nonces: WordPress temporary nonces are generated to protect form submissions against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF).

6. Third-Party Trademarks & Fair Use Disclaimer

TechRank Tools is an independent utility platform. All product names, logos, trademarks, and registered trademarks mentioned on this website (including Instagram, Meta, YouTube, Google, TikTok, ByteDance, Facebook, Twitter, X, Snapchat, Pinterest, and Threads) are the exclusive property of their respective owners.

Reference to any specific commercial product, process, or service by trade name, trademark, or manufacturer does not constitute or imply endorsement, sponsorship, or recommendation by TechRank Tools, nor does it imply affiliation with the trademark owners. Users are solely responsible for ensuring that their use of downloaded media complies with applicable copyright laws and platform terms of service.

7. User Rights under GDPR and CCPA

Depending on your jurisdiction (such as the European Economic Area under GDPR or California under CCPA/CPRA), you are entitled to certain privacy rights:

  • Right of Access & Inquiries: You have the right to request clarification on whether we process any personal data concerning you.
  • Right to Deletion: Because we operate without user accounts or stored media, we do not maintain persistent personal records.
  • No Sale of Personal Information: We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data or browsing histories to third parties or data brokers.

8. Security Guardrails & Anti-SSRF

We implement modern cybersecurity standards including:

  • Strict HTTPS Encryption: Full SSL/TLS transport layer security across all pages and endpoints.
  • Anti-SSRF Verification: Our streaming proxy verifies that media destinations point strictly to valid external social platform CDNs, disallowing loopback, local network, and unauthorized destinations.
  • HMAC Signature Verification: Temporary streaming tokens are signed with cryptographic SHA-256 HMAC hashes to prevent parameter tampering.
