How AndBucket Handles Your Data: A Plain-Language Explanation
A straightforward look at what happens between pasting a link and getting a file.
What happens when you paste a link
The link you paste is sent to AndBucket's backend, which fetches the public metadata and available formats for that specific video — nothing about your browsing history or other activity is involved in that request.
What isn't stored long-term
AndBucket doesn't require an account, so downloads aren't tied to a personal profile. Processed links and generated download options exist only long enough to serve the request, not as a permanent history tied to you.
Why the source platform still matters
Downloading a link doesn't change what the original platform (YouTube, Instagram, and so on) already knows about that piece of content or its own visitor logs — this tool only affects what happens on AndBucket's side of the interaction.
Where to go for specifics
The full Privacy Policy page covers this in more formal detail — this article is meant as a plain-language companion to it, not a replacement.
