We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or any personal information to use the tool.
We do not store the YouTube URLs you enter into the tool.
We do not store, host, or cache any thumbnail images on our servers. All images are fetched directly from YouTube’s publicly accessible content delivery network.
We do not sell, rent, or share any user data with third parties for marketing purposes.

2. Information We May Collect Automatically

Like most websites, our server and analytics tools may automatically collect certain non-personal technical information when you visit:

Pages visited and time spent
Referring URL (the website you came from)

This information is used solely for understanding how people use our website, identifying technical issues, and improving performance. It is never used to personally identify you.

3. Cookies

ytthumbextractor.com may use basic cookies to ensure the website functions correctly. We do not use cookies to track you across other websites or build advertising profiles.

If we use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics), those services may set their own cookies. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time.

4. Third-Party Services

Our website may use third-party services including:

Google Analytics — for anonymous traffic analysis

These services have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them independently. We do not control how these third parties handle data.

5. YouTube and Thumbnail Data

This tool fetches thumbnail images from YouTube’s publicly available servers. We do not scrape, store, or distribute YouTube content. All thumbnail images displayed through our tool remain the property of their respective creators and YouTube.

Our tool only works with publicly accessible YouTube videos. We do not attempt to access private, unlisted, or age-restricted content.
