1. Introduction

Welcome to TofuKit ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our anti-shadowban toolkit for content creators, including video downloading, metadata cleaning, video editing, and other tools.

2. Important: Local Processing & Non-Hosting Declaration

Most of our tools process files LOCALLY in your browser using WebAssembly technology. For local tools (Metadata Cleaner, Mirror, Compress, MP3, GIF, Thumbnail, Volume): Your files NEVER leave your device. All processing happens entirely in your browser using FFmpeg.wasm. We have no access to your files.

For the Video Downloader: We do NOT host, store, or cache any videos on our servers. Our service functions solely as a technical intermediary that processes URLs and redirects requests to the original content servers of third-party platforms (TikTok, Shopee, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, X/Twitter, Pinterest, Kwai).

3.2 Automatically Collected Information

Device Information: Browser type, operating system, and device type for service optimization.
Usage Data: Pages visited, features used, and interaction patterns (anonymized).
IP Address: Collected for security purposes and fraud prevention. We do not link IP addresses to personal identities.
