Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 5, 2025

At Thumbli, your privacy matters. This policy explains what information we do (and don’t) collect, how ads work on this site, and how you can control your data.

1. What data we collect

Thumbli does not require sign-ups, accounts, or logins. We do not collect, store, or log your pasted video links or downloaded thumbnails. All thumbnail generation happens directly in your browser — not on our servers.

2. Cookies, ads, and your choices

To keep Thumbli free, we show ads using Google AdSense and their ad partners. These third-party providers may use cookies and similar technologies (like device identifiers) to collect certain data (such as your IP address, device type, and interests) to deliver personalized or non-personalized ads and measure their performance.

Your ad choices and consent (GDPR/EEA users)

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the UK, we are legally required to obtain your explicit consent before using cookies for personalized advertising. When you first visit, you will see a Consent Management Platform (CMP) banner asking for your choice. We will only serve personalized ads if you agree. You can change your consent choices at any time (see the link in the footer or your browser settings).

Please note that Google and its partners act as independent data controllers for the data they collect through our site for advertising purposes. Learn more here: Google’s Partner Policy.

You can also opt out of personalized advertising globally by visiting Google Ad Settings or by disabling cookies in your browser settings.

3. Analytics

Thumbli may use lightweight, privacy-friendly analytics (such as anonymous page views) to understand site usage and improve performance. These analytics do not collect personal or identifying information.

4. External links

This site may include links to third-party websites (like YouTube, Twitch, Dailymotion, or others). We are not responsible for their content, privacy policies, or practices. Always review their terms if you follow a link.

5. Children’s privacy

Thumbli is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we’ll remove it promptly.

6. Data security

We design Thumbli to process everything in your browser. No personal data, links, or images are stored on our end. Ad providers and third-party services operate under their own privacy and data policies.

7. Changes to this policy

We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
