ScriptGrab

ScriptGrab privacy policy _Script Tech · applies to the ScriptGrab app for Windows and the ScriptGrab browser extension · last updated 12 November 2026 (version 1.1.0) · scriptgrab.script-hosts.com_ ScriptGrab is built to download what you ask for and nothing else. It has no analytics, no usage tracking and no ads. Nothing about you is sent unless this page says so, and a problem report is sent only when you click Send. ## What stays on your PC - Your download list, history and settings are stored on your PC only. - Passwords you choose to save (proxy, site logins) and your licence code are kept in Windows Credential Manager. - Cookies from your browser are passed to the app only for the download they belong to, held in memory, and never saved or sent anywhere else. - The browser extension sends links, the page address and the cookies needed for a download only to the ScriptGrab app on the same PC. ## What ScriptGrab connects to - The sites you download from, as a browser would. - GitHub, once a day, to check for updates of yt-dlp (the component that reads video sites). It sends no information about you. You can turn it off in Settings. - Script Tech's update server, to check for new versions of ScriptGrab. - Script Tech's licence server, when you activate a licence, then at every start and every 12 hours: it receives your licence code, an anonymous identifier of your PC (a one-way hash, not your PC's actual id) and the ScriptGrab version. It never receives anything about what you download. - The free trial check: while you use the 14-day trial, ScriptGrab sends the same anonymous PC identifier and its version, so the server can remember the first day of your trial (one trial per PC). The server keeps that identifier and the date, nothing else. - The changelog, when ScriptGrab tells you about a new version, to show what's new. ## Problem reports Only when you choose to: after ScriptGrab closed unexpectedly it offers to send a report, and Help → Report a problem sends one at any time. You see the whole report before it is sent, and nothing is sent if you don't click Send. A report contains: - what you write, and your email address only if you type it (so we can answer); - the ScriptGrab and Windows versions, the error and ScriptGrab's own recent log (web addresses without the part after "?", download names and errors); - the anonymous PC identifier and, if the PC is activated, its licence, so we can see which customer it is. It never contains cookies, passwords, licence codes, your files or your browsing history. Reports are kept until the problem is solved and then for 90 days; email us to have a report deleted sooner. ## Payments Purchases are handled by Script Tech's licence website and its payment provider, which receive the details needed to process your payment and send your licence. ## Your choices - Turn off yt-dlp updates, the clipboard monitor and notifications in Settings. - Uninstalling ScriptGrab removes the app and its browser connection; you can delete the download list and settings from %APPDATA%\com.scripttech.scriptgrab. ## Contact Script Tech — questions about privacy: scriptgrab@script-hosts.com
