privacy policy

cobalt's privacy policy is simple: no data about you is ever collected or
stored. zero, zilch, nada, nothing.
what you download is solely your business, not mine or anyone else's.

if your download requires rendering, then data about requested content is
encrypted and temporarily stored in server's RAM. it's necessary for this
feature to function.

encrypted data is stored for 90 seconds and then permanently removed.

stored data is only possible to decrypt with unique encryption keys from your
download link. furthermore, the official cobalt codebase doesn't provide a way
to read temporarily stored data outside of processing functions.

you can check cobalt's source code yourself and see that everything is as
stated.

cobalt uses a self-hosted plausible instance to get an approximate number of how
many people use it.

plausible is fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA and PECR, doesn't use cookies, and
never stores any identifiable info, not even your ip address.

all data is aggregated and never personalized. nothing about what you download
is ever saved anywhere. it's used just for anonymous traffic stats, nothing
more.

plausible is fully open source, just like cobalt, and if you want to learn more
about it, you can do so here. if you wish to opt out of traffic stats, you can
do it in settings > other.
terms and ethics

cobalt is a web tool that makes it easier to download content from the internet
and takes zero liability. processing servers work like limited proxies, so no
media content is ever cached or stored.

you (end user) are responsible for what you download, how you use and distribute
that content. please be mindful when using content of others and always credit
original creators.

when used in education purposes (lecture, homework, etc) please attach the
source link.

fair use and credits benefit everyone.

help it stay online

cobalt doesn't shove ads in your face and doesn't sell your personal data,
meaning that it's completely free to use for everyone. but development and
maintenance of a media-heavy service used by over 750k people is quite costly.
both in terms of time and money.

if cobalt helped you in the past and you want to keep it growing and evolving,
you can return the favor by making a donation!

your donation will help all cobalt users: educators, students, content creators,
artists, musicians, and many, many more!

in past, donations have let cobalt:
• increase stability and uptime to nearly 100%.
• speed up ALL downloads, especially heavier ones.
• open the api for free public use.
• withstand several huge user influxes with 0 downtime.
• add resource-intensive features (such as gif conversion).
• continue improving our infrastructure.
• keep developers happy.

every cent matters and is extremely appreciated, you can truly make a
difference!

if you can't donate, share cobalt with a friend! we don't get ads anywhere, so
cobalt is spread by word of mouth.
sharing is the easiest way to help achieve the goal of better internet for
everyone.
