Privacy & file retention

  • Your downloaded files: TubePull is a downloader, not a cloud-storage or media-library service, so it does not keep a permanent, user-accessible copy of what you download. Preparing, delivering, retrying, or speeding up a download can create temporary copies on TubePull's systems; those delivery copies expire automatically and are not offered as a saved library. MCP downloads are made available through a signed link that stays usable for a limited time and then expires automatically.
  • Request metadata: Every download request IS logged (submitted URL, video ID/title, format, quality, requesting IP, approximate IP-based geolocation, timestamp, and success/failure) for rate-limiting and abuse prevention. Signed-in users can view and delete their own history.
  • Retention: Anonymous request logs are retained on a short schedule; proxy routing metadata ~30 days; billing records ~7 years (tax/accounting law). See the Privacy Policy for the full schedule.
  • Not collected: No sale of personal information; no device GPS/precise location; no full card numbers (those go directly to Stripe).
