Privacy policy
Last updated
This Privacy Policy explains how M3U8 Tools handles information when visitors use public pages, browser-side M3U8 utilities and contact channels.
Information we process
The public tools are designed to run in the browser where possible. URLs that you paste into a tool may be processed by the page or checked by the browser according to the tool workflow, browser security rules and origin server behavior.
- Do not paste private stream tokens, account-bound URLs, cookies, passwords, credentials, DRM keys or paid media links.
- Use the tools only for streams you own, operate or are authorized to inspect.
- Diagnostic results may show HTTP status, CORS behavior, playlist structure, segment paths and visible HLS tags.
Server logs and analytics
Like most websites, the hosting provider, security layer or analytics tools may record basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, referring page, requested URL and timestamps. This information is used for security, reliability, abuse prevention and site improvement.
Cookies and local browser storage
The site may use cookies or local browser storage for basic preferences, tool convenience and operational checks. Playlist or test URL data saved by browser-side tools is intended to remain in your own browser unless a specific workflow clearly states otherwise.
Embedded content and third-party services
Some pages may link to or embed third-party resources. Those services may process data under their own policies. Do not submit private or unauthorized media URLs to third-party players, converters or diagnostic tools.
Contact and correction requests
If you contact the site owner, include only the information needed to understand the issue. Do not include credentials, private keys, paid-stream URLs, DRM keys or account-bound tokens.
Data retention
Operational logs, contact messages and diagnostic evidence may be retained only as needed for security, troubleshooting, abuse prevention, legal compliance and site maintenance.
Your choices
- Do not use the tools with private or unauthorized URLs.
- Clear your browser storage if you want to remove locally saved tool data.
- Use your browser settings to limit cookies or third-party requests.
Policy updates
This policy may be updated as the site, tools and publishing workflow evolve. The current page version is the one published at the canonical URL for this policy.
