Privacy Policy

What we collect

The link you submit. It is sent to our server so we can read the post's public metadata. The resolved metadata — caption, username, media URLs, dimensions — is held in memory for a short period (ten minutes by default) so that repeating the same lookup does not hit Threads again. It is never written to a database or to disk, and it disappears when the cache entry expires or the server restarts.

Request metadata. Standard web-server information: IP address, user agent, timestamp, and the path requested. Your IP address is used to enforce the per-address rate limit that keeps the service available. We do not build profiles from it and do not sell or share it.

What we do not collect

• No account, email address, or password — there is nothing to sign up for.
• No downloaded media. Files stream through and are never stored.
• No advertising or analytics trackers, and no third-party pixels.
• No clipboard contents. The Paste button reads your clipboard locally in your browser only when you press it; that value is only submitted if you run a lookup.

Cookies and local storage

We set no cookies. One value is written to your browser's localStorage: your light or dark theme preference. It never leaves your device and is not readable by us.

Third parties

To fetch a post, our server contacts Threads (Meta Platforms, Inc.) on your behalf. Your browser does not contact Meta directly during a download, so no referrer or browser fingerprint of yours reaches them through this tool. Meta sees a request from our server, not from you. Their handling of that request is governed by their own privacy policy.

Thumbnail images shown in the results are loaded by your browser directly from Meta's CDN with a no-referrer policy. If you would rather avoid that connection entirely, blocking images for this site does not affect downloads.

Data retention

• Resolved post metadata: in memory only, ~10 minutes.
• Media files: never retained. Streamed, not stored.
• Rate-limit counters: in memory, cleared each window.
• Server access logs: retained only as long as the hosting provider's default, for security and abuse investigation.

Your rights

Because we hold no account data, there is generally nothing to export or delete on request. If you believe a specific piece of information about you is held here, contact us and we will investigate and remove it where it exists.

Children

This service is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, the date at the top of this page changes with it. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance.
