Last updated: February 22, 2026

Introduction

ThumTool ("we", "our", or "us") operates the website thumtool.com. This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use our service.

Information We Collect

ThumTool does not require user registration or accounts. We do not collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers. When you use our thumbnail downloader, the YouTube URLs you submit are processed in real-time and are not stored on our servers.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to our site. We use this information solely to improve our service. Google Analytics collects the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit our site, but we do not combine it with any personally identifiable information.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Cookies

ThumTool itself does not use cookies. However, Google Analytics uses cookies to track user interactions. These cookies are governed by Google's privacy policy. No cookies are used for advertising, tracking, or profiling purposes by ThumTool directly.

Third-Party Services

Our service fetches publicly available thumbnail images from YouTube (img.youtube.com). We do not access any private YouTube data, user accounts, or any information beyond the publicly available thumbnail images associated with the video ID you provide.

Data Retention

We do not store YouTube URLs, video IDs, thumbnail images, or any user-submitted data. All thumbnail fetching and downloading is processed in real-time and nothing is retained after your request is completed.

External Links

Our website may contain links to external sites that are not operated by us. We have no control over the content and practices of these sites and cannot accept responsibility for their respective privacy policies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
