Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

Overview

Bulk File Downloader is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how the Bulk File Downloader Chrome extension handles your information. The short version: we don't collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data.

Information We Don't Collect

Bulk File Downloader does not collect:

  • Personal information (name, email, address, etc.)
  • Browsing history or activity
  • Information about the websites you visit
  • Files you download or their contents
  • Analytics or usage data
  • IP addresses or location data
  • Any other form of tracking information

How the Extension Works

Bulk File Downloader operates entirely within your browser. Here's how it works:

  • Active Tab Permission: The extension only accesses webpage content when you click the extension icon. It cannot access any page unless you explicitly activate it.
  • Page Scanning: When activated, the extension scans the current page's HTML for downloadable file links. This scanning happens locally in your browser—no data is sent anywhere.
  • Downloads: When you choose to download files, the extension uses Chrome's built-in downloads API to save files directly to your computer. We don't intercept or monitor these downloads.

Permissions Explained

The extension requests these Chrome permissions:

activeTab Allows the extension to access the current tab only when you click on the extension icon. This is the most privacy-respecting way to access page content.
downloads Required to save files to your computer using Chrome's download manager.

Data Storage

Bulk File Downloader does not store any data locally or remotely. Each time you use the extension, it starts fresh with no memory of previous sessions. Your downloaded files are saved to your computer through Chrome's standard download process.

Third-Party Services

Bulk File Downloader does not use any third-party services, analytics platforms, or external servers. The extension operates completely offline after installation.

Children's Privacy

Our extension does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13 years of age.

Changes to This Policy

If we make changes to this Privacy Policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Summary
