Privacy and limits

Your choices stay in your hands

Auto-Capture and the Video Download Panel are off by default. You can disable them and restrict site access in Chrome settings. When you request a download, the extension sends its URL, filename, and referring page to the DownGo app on this PC. Matching cookies may also be passed to the local app for a requested download; they are not sent to DownGo's cloud server.

The extension does not download YouTube videos. Use it only for content you are authorized to access and save. Review the DownGo privacy policy for the desktop app and the Chrome Web Store listing for extension-specific disclosures.
