Privacy

Privacy Policy

TubeSnaps is built as a lightweight, browser-first YouTube thumbnail and creator image toolkit. This policy explains what the site processes, what it avoids storing, and how future analytics or advertising providers should be disclosed.

Effective: 2026-06-10 Last updated:
This policy describes the current V1 product behavior. It should be reviewed before enabling production analytics, advertising, affiliate programs, account features, uploads, or any Cloudflare Worker API that stores user data.

What TubeSnaps processes

When you paste a YouTube URL or video ID, TubeSnaps parses the input in your browser and generates known public thumbnail image candidates. The tool may load public image URLs from YouTube image hosts so your browser can check whether common thumbnail candidates are available.

The current version does not require a TubeSnaps account, Google login, YouTube OAuth permission, channel connection, or server-side video processing.

  • YouTube video URLs or 11-character video IDs that you type into the page.
  • Public thumbnail image candidates generated from the detected video ID.
  • Browser-side result states such as available, unavailable, or placeholder suspected.

What TubeSnaps does not store

TubeSnaps does not need to save full YouTube URLs, downloaded files, Google account data, channel credentials, or private YouTube information for the current browser-first tool workflow.

If future analytics records a video identifier for product diagnostics, it should be minimized, hashed, or aggregated before being sent to a provider.

  • No YouTube OAuth tokens are requested.
  • No YouTube videos are downloaded or stored by TubeSnaps.
  • No server-side thumbnail library is created in the current static version.

Third-party content and links

Thumbnail images may be loaded from YouTube image hosts such as img.youtube.com. Opening a YouTube, image, documentation, or affiliate link may send you to a third-party website governed by its own policies.

TubeSnaps does not control third-party sites, browser extensions, or network tools that may be active in your own browser.

Contact and updates

This privacy policy is a general product policy for the first public version of TubeSnaps and is not legal advice. It should be updated when the product adds accounts, uploads, server-side APIs, analytics providers, advertising providers, affiliate partners, or paid services.

For launch operations, review this page together with the Terms and Disclaimer pages before production deployment.
