Privacy Policy

gallery-dlp Windows Helper is an unofficial community-maintained site. We collect minimal data and are transparent about what we use and why.

Who we are

gallery-dlp Windows Helper is an unofficial community-maintained site providing guides and direct links to official gallery-dl releases on GitHub. We are not affiliated with gallery-dl's author mikf, or any supported sites.

What we collect (and don't collect)

  • No accounts, no forms: We don't offer user accounts and don't collect information via forms.
  • Analytics (Google Analytics 4): We use GA4 to understand aggregate, non-identifiable usage patterns — page views, button clicks, downloads. GA4 may collect device data and events such as page URLs, referrers, approximate geolocation, and technical attributes. IP addresses are processed by Google for geolocation and then discarded by default.
  • Hosting logs (GitHub Pages): This site is hosted on GitHub Pages. GitHub may collect standard web server logs (IP address, user agent) for security. See GitHub's Privacy Statement.
  • LocalStorage: We store a cookieConsent flag in your browser's localStorage when you accept the cookie banner.

Cookies & local storage

  • Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_<id>) — anonymous usage measurement.
  • LocalStorage: cookieConsent — remembers your cookie choice.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings, use the Google Analytics opt-out add-on, or clear site data in your browser.

Why we process data

  • Consent: Analytics cookies are used with your consent via our cookie banner.
  • Legitimate interests: Aggregate analytics help us maintain and improve site content and performance.

Data sharing & processors

We do not sell your personal information.

Retention

  • GA4 event data: Retained by Google for up to 14 months (property default setting).
  • LocalStorage: The cookieConsent flag persists until you clear site data.
  • Hosting logs: Controlled by GitHub — see their policy.

Your rights & choices

  • Use the GA opt-out add-on to prevent analytics collection.
  • Block or delete cookies via your browser settings.
  • Do Not Track (DNT): we do not currently respond to DNT signals.
  • Depending on your jurisdiction (EU/EEA, California, etc.) you may have rights to access, correct, or delete data. Contact us to make a request.
