Privacy policy
Download That by Wynton Software. Last updated 13 November 2026.
The short version: files go straight from the website to your computer. The extension doesn't send us anything, uses no analytics, and doesn't sell or share data about you.
What the extension handles, and where it goes
| What | Where it is kept | Sent anywhere? |
|---|---|---|
| Files you download | While downloading, in your browser's private file storage; when finished, in your Downloads folder | No |
| The download list (addresses, names, progress) | In Chrome's local extension storage | No |
| Media found on the pages you visit | In memory for that tab, to show the badge count | No |
| Your settings | In Chrome's extension storage | No |
When the extension contacts the internet
Only to download the files you ask for. Those requests go from your computer directly to the website hosting the file, with that page as the referrer so the site serves it normally. They never pass through our servers.
Permissions, and why they are needed
- Access to all sites, webRequest, webNavigation: spot video, audio and file links as pages load, so they can be offered for download, and fetch the files you choose. Nothing about these requests is recorded or sent anywhere.
- declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess: send the page's referrer with the extension's own download requests, so hotlink-protected sites still work.
- downloads: take over large Chrome downloads if you allow it, and save finished files.
- offscreen, unlimitedStorage: run downloads in the background and stream big files to disk.
- scripting, activeTab: add the Download button on videos and find links on the page.
- contextMenus, notifications, alarms, storage: the right-click menu, failed-download alerts, the scheduler and your settings.
Download That Desktop
The optional desktop app runs on your own computer. It downloads directly from the sites you choose and talks to the extension and to AI agents only over a local connection on your machine.
What we don't do
- We don't collect your browsing or download history.
- We don't use analytics, tracking or advertising.
- We don't sell or share personal information.
