How we handle public link downloads, local browser processing, and your privacy when using our free online tools.
Last updated:2026-06-01When you paste a public link and click Parse, the backend receives that URL, the platform identifier, the captcha result, and basic request data so it can read public metadata such as the title, cover, preview, format list, and available media resources.
The browser-based audio and video merge tool reads the local files you choose, but those files stay in the browser runtime and are not uploaded to the project server.
MediaSnag does not store downloaded video, audio, image, cover, or gallery files on disk, and it does not host public video content.
Download buttons usually point to third-party temporary media URLs or required proxy streams. Your browser saves the final file to your own device.
The server may collect basic access logs, status codes, error messages, platform identifiers, and timing data to diagnose parsing failures, expired download links, API issues, and service stability problems.
Do not submit passwords, private links, cookies, access tokens, or other sensitive information into the input field. This tool works with public links and does not need your platform login credentials.
Parsed results come from third-party platforms such as YouTube, Bilibili, Instagram, Twitter/X, TikTok, Douyin, RedNote/Xiaohongshu, Facebook, and others. When you download, your browser may connect directly to those platforms or their media CDNs.
Those platforms handle access requests under their own privacy policies and technical rules. Their interfaces, signed media URLs, quality lists, and available resources can change at any time.
