Privacy Policy

Last updated: 11 November 2026

Clip & GIF Saver is part of the Mass Media Downloader extension for Chrome, published by NovaByteWorks, an independent developer based in India. Your media stays on your computer. Clip has no analytics, telemetry, advertising or account system. Free Clip use does not send data to NovaByteWorks.

Your media stays on your computer

The extension reads a video from the page or its source URL only to make the clip, GIF or PNG frame you ask for. It processes the media in your browser and never uploads it. Your browser manages the saved files and download history.

Only when you use a key

When you enter a licence key, the extension sends only that key, in uppercase, and a random install id to https://api.novabyteworks.com/v1/license/activate. It sends them again for later licence checks. It does not send the page address, the video, your saved frames or a site account.

The extension stores the key, plan, expiry and last successful check locally. It can keep using a successful paid check for up to seven days if the service cannot be reached. Removing the key removes its local licence record.

The licence service keeps the key and its install binding to enforce the install limit, along with the last time it was checked. Clip’s lifetime and monthly plans, and the golden key, allow up to 2 installs; each browser install uses one slot. A reinstall or clearing extension storage creates a new install id. The manage page releases all accounts and installs on a key together, once every 30 days.

The licence service and payments

The licence service runs on Cloudflare. Like any web service, it sees the IP address a request comes from; it uses it to limit requests and does not keep it with your install record.

If you buy a key, we keep its plan, amount, purchase date and your email address to deliver and support it. The multi-site plan is processed by Gumroad in every country; the golden key uses Razorpay in India and Gumroad elsewhere, under their own Razorpay and Gumroad privacy policies. We never see your card or bank details. Gumroad also reports the sale’s IP country, referring page and affiliate, if any.

Limitations

The extension refuses YouTube and copy-protected video. It does not bypass DRM, CORS, login walls or embedded-player permissions.

Your records and questions

Write to [email protected] to ask about or delete the records linked to your key or install. Deleting a licence binding removes its paid access. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising.

We will post changes here and update the date above.
