localStorage, and provides transparent opt-out controls for cookies and third-party advertising partners.
1. Scope of This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how SaveKora (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you visit our website and use our online media inspection and format-shifting tools. By accessing SaveKora, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy.
2. Zero Account Registration & Zero Social Credentials
SaveKora operates without user accounts, passwords, email sign-ups, or OAuth social media logins. We never request your YouTube, Google, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X/Twitter, or other platform credentials, and we only process publicly accessible URLs initiated directly by you.
3. Zero Server Disk Retention of Media Files
When you paste a public URL and initiate a download, SaveKora inspects upstream stream manifests and relays or muxes packets transiently in volatile memory (RAM) directly to your browser. We never store, archive, index, or redistribute copies of user-downloaded video, audio, photo, or subtitle files on our servers.
4. Technical Log Data & Abuse Prevention
Like all standard web servers, our infrastructure processes minimal transient request metadata — including IP address, browser User-Agent string, HTTP status code, referring page, and request timestamp — strictly to enforce automated rate limits, block malicious botnets/DDoS traffic, and diagnose upstream extractor errors. Transient security counters expire automatically in memory.
5. Cookies & Browser Local Storage
We use minimal first-party storage to keep the service secure and functional:
-
Security Gate Cookie (
sv_gate): A short-lived cryptographic HMAC token that verifies legitimate browser requests against automated scraping bots. Contains zero personally identifiable information. -
Browser-Only Preferences (
localStorage): Your Light/Dark theme choice (savelyn_theme) and optional “Recent Links” shelf (savelyn_recent_v1) are stored exclusively inside your own device browser and are never transmitted to our servers. You can clear them in one click at any time.
For full technical details, please review our dedicated Cookie & Local Storage Policy.
6. Google AdSense, DoubleClick DART Cookies & Third-Party Advertising
To support free, unlimited infrastructure across 20 networks, SaveKora may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and certified third-party advertising partners:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies (such as the DoubleClick DART cookie and AdSense measurement cookies) to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to SaveKora or other websites on the internet.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve relevant advertisements, cap ad frequency, and detect invalid click activity.
- Opting Out of Personalized Ads: Users may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices or Your Online Choices (EU).

7. Voluntary Support & DMCA Correspondence
If you contact us via our Contact Form or email us directly, the name, email address, and message details you submit are used solely to investigate broken links, answer support questions, or process intellectual property notices. We never sell, rent, or trade contact submissions to marketers.
8. GDPR & UK Data Protection Rights (EEA, UK & Switzerland)
If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, object to processing based on legitimate interests, and withdraw consent for non-essential advertising cookies via Google’s IAB TCF consent prompt where applicable.
9. CCPA / CPRA Privacy Rights (California Residents)
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the CPRA, California residents have the right to request disclosure of categories of personal information collected, request deletion of personal correspondence, and opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, without discrimination.
10. Children’s Privacy & Contact Information
SaveKora does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. If you have any privacy questions or data deletion requests, contact our Privacy Team at support@savekora.com or through our Contact Page.
