# 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.
