Privacy Policy

Grokpedia is an independent online tool that processes publicly shared social media video links so you can view available download options. We do not host videos, we do not ask for social media login credentials, and we are not affiliated with any social media platform. This Privacy Policy explains what information we handle, how we handle it, and the choices available to you when you visit our website.

When you use Grokpedia, you may choose to submit a public social media video URL into the download form. This link is transmitted to our server solely for the purpose of requesting available format information from third-party API providers. We do not use the links you submit for any other purpose, and we do not permanently store, index, publish, or share them with anyone beyond the API provider needed to fulfil your request.

If you use our contact form, you provide us with your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this information exclusively to read your message and send you a response. Contact form submissions are stored only as long as needed to resolve your inquiry and are not used for marketing, sold to third parties, or added to any mailing list without your explicit consent.

Like most websites, our server automatically receives and logs certain basic technical data with each request. This may include your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring page, and the time of your visit. We process this data for essential purposes: to deliver the web pages you request, to protect the service against abuse and automated attacks, to diagnose technical problems, and to understand aggregate traffic patterns.

Grokpedia uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies. Essential cookies are required for the website to function properly — for example, remembering your language preference and your light or dark theme choice. These essential cookies do not track you across other websites and are not used for advertising.

In the future, we may use analytics services such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors use Grokpedia in aggregate. We may also display advertising through services like Google AdSense, which use cookies to show relevant ads. You will be able to manage your preferences through your browser settings and through any opt-out tools these services provide.

Our download functionality relies on third-party API services that receive the public link you submit in order to look up available formats and resolutions. These API providers operate under their own privacy policies. We do not send them any personal information about you — only the public video URL you entered.

The public links you submit are processed in real time during your visit. Once the API returns the available download options, the submitted link is discarded from our active processing. We do not maintain a database of submitted links, we do not build profiles of what users download, and we do not share submitted links with any party other than the specific API provider needed to process your request.

We retain contact form messages only for as long as necessary to handle your inquiry, up to a maximum of twelve months. Server logs that may contain IP addresses and other technical data are retained for a limited period and are then automatically purged. This retention is necessary for security monitoring, abuse detection, and diagnosing service issues.

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we handle, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) for all traffic, limiting access to server logs, and applying rate limits and anti-abuse checks to protect the contact form and API endpoints from misuse.

Grokpedia is not intended for use by children under the age of thirteen. We do not knowingly collect or solicit information from anyone under thirteen. If we become aware that a child under thirteen has submitted information through our contact form, we will delete that information promptly.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or about how Grokpedia handles your information, you can reach us through the contact form on our website. We aim to respond to all privacy-related inquiries within a reasonable timeframe.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the services we use, or legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of the policy page. Continued use of Grokpedia after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
