Privacy Policy for hOLOlu Download Manager (hDM)

Last Updated: May 7, 2026

hOLOlu Download Manager (hDM) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our application and browser extension handle information.

1. Information Collection and Use

hDM is a locally installed software. We believe in total privacy:

No Personal Data Collection: We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information, browsing history, or identity data to any external servers.
Local Processing: All download information, URLs, and file paths are processed and stored locally on your machine in a private database.
No Tracking: We do not use any tracking pixels, analytics, or cookies to monitor your behavior.

2. Browser Extension Permissions

To function correctly, the hDM Browser Extension requires the following permissions:

downloads: Used to detect when a download starts so it can be intercepted and managed by hDM.
nativeMessaging: Used to securely communicate with the hDM desktop application on your computer.
contextMenus: Used to provide the "Download with hDM" option when you right-click on a link.
<all_urls>: Necessary to allow the extension to intercept download links from various websites you visit.

None of the data accessed via these permissions is ever sent to hDM or any third party. It stays entirely on your local system.

3. Data Storage

Local Database: hDM stores your download history and settings in a local SQLite database on your computer.
Logs: Diagnostic logs are stored locally in your %AppData%\DownloadManager\logs folder to help troubleshoot issues. These logs are never automatically uploaded.

4. Third-Party Services

hDM does not share your data with third parties. When you download a file, you are connecting directly to the server hosting that file. hDM does not act as a proxy or intermediary.

5. Security

We implement industry-standard security practices to protect your local data, including the use of protected storage for any credentials you may choose to save within the application.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
