Convert to MP4

Privacy Policy for YTMP4.ink

Last updated: November 2, 2026

At YTMP4.ink ("we", "our", or "us"), we believe that your personal privacy is a fundamental digital right. We have architected our YouTube to MP4 video downloader to function with the absolute minimum amount of technical data necessary to execute real-time media format conversions. We do not require accounts, do not harvest personal identifiers, and do not employ invasive third-party behavioral profiling trackers.

This Privacy Policy explains what information our web servers process, how temporary conversion files are managed, and your rights when utilizing our platform.

1. Information We Do NOT Collect

To ensure total clarity regarding our operational model, we explicitly state that YTMP4 does not collect or store:

  • Your real name, postal address, physical location, or telephone number.
  • Your email address (unless you voluntarily initiate an email correspondence with our support team).
  • Financial, payment, credit card, or billing information (our utility is 100% free of charge).
  • User account credentials, social media authentications, or passwords.
  • Persistent histories or databases associating individual user IP addresses with specific video URLs requested.

2. Technical Data Processed During Operation

Like virtually all internet services, our web servers and content delivery networks automatically process standard technical request headers when your browser communicates with our servers:

  • Standard Web Server Logs: For security monitoring, DDOS mitigation, and rate limiting (preventing automated scraping scripts from overloading our conversion nodes), our web servers temporarily record your incoming IP address, browser User-Agent string, HTTP request timestamp, and response status codes. These raw access logs are rotated automatically and maintained solely for diagnostic purposes before permanent deletion.
  • Submitted Video URLs: When you input a YouTube video link, that URL is transmitted in real time to our backend extraction daemons. The URL is processed solely in volatile memory to fetch the stream manifest and generate temporary download descriptors. We do not maintain a permanent database of searched links.

3. Temporary File Management & Automatic Purging

High-definition video formats (such as 1080p, 1440p, and 4K) require our cloud servers to download separate video and audio streams and merge them into a single MP4 container using FFmpeg.

Strict Data Purging Policy: All temporary intermediate stream segments and completed merged media files created during this processing cycle are stored on volatile scratch storage. These temporary files are scheduled for automatic, irreversible deletion immediately following the completion of your download response, or within a maximum lifetime window of fifteen (15) minutes via automated system cleanup daemons. We do not operate a permanent media archive or public repository of downloaded files.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

YTMP4 does not use third-party tracking cookies, advertising remarketing beacons, or profiling pixels. We do not partner with behavioral ad networks. Our website may utilize minimal browser sessionStorage or functional local cookies strictly to retain your preferred UI state (such as dark mode preferences or active quality filter chips) during your immediate browsing session. For additional details, please consult our Cookie Policy.

5. Third-Party External Links

Our website may contain informational hyperlinks to external websites or resources (such as VLC Player, Creative Commons guidelines, or official documentation). We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or cookie policies of third-party websites. We encourage you to inspect the privacy notices of any external site you visit.

6. Security Measures

We employ modern security safeguards to protect our service and your communications. All traffic across YTMP4.ink is strictly enforced through Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3 / HTTPS), ensuring that your URL submissions and downloaded data streams cannot be intercepted or modified by malicious actors on your local Wi-Fi or cellular network.

7. Children's Online Privacy

Our service is designed for general audiences and does not knowingly collect any identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen (13), or sixteen (16) within the European Union. If you believe an underage person has provided personal contact information through our support email, please notify us, and we will delete such data immediately.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect architectural upgrades or changes in applicable legal standards. Any revisions will be posted directly to this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
