Privacy Policy
Last updated:
KingDownloads is a content directory. We have no user accounts, run no checkout, and keep data collection to the minimum required to operate and improve the site.
What this site is
KingDownloads publishes download links, version history and factual summaries for open-source software. You can browse everything without signing in — we do not offer or require an account.
Information we do not collect
- We do not ask for your name, email, address or phone number.
- We do not run user accounts, logins or profiles.
- We do not process payments or store payment details.
- We do not sell, rent or trade any data about you.
Information processed automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider may process basic technical data needed to deliver pages and protect against abuse — for example your IP address, browser type and the page requested. This is standard server and CDN logging and is used for security, debugging and aggregate traffic measurement.
Analytics
We may use a privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics tool to understand which pages are useful (for example, total page views per article). Where used, such analytics are configured to avoid tracking individuals across sites and do not build advertising profiles. We do not use cross-site advertising trackers.
Cookies and local storage
We use a small amount of browser local storage to remember your theme choice (light or dark). This stays on your device and is not sent to us. For details on cookies, see our Cookie Policy.
Outbound links to third parties
Download links and source links point to third-party services such as GitHub and the original project publishers. Once you follow an outbound link, that destination's own privacy policy applies. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party sites.
Data retention
We do not maintain a database of personal information about visitors. Server and analytics logs, where present, are retained only as long as needed for security and aggregate reporting.
Your rights
Because we do not hold accounts or personal profiles, there is generally no personal data for us to export or delete. If you believe we hold information relating to you and want to ask about it, contact us using the details on our About page.
Children
This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site evolves. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
