Data processed by the website
The website does not require a separate Vidosha account and does not ask for your name, phone number, payment details or access to source-platform accounts. The bot requires a Telegram account.
- The public source link, selected quality and any clip timecodes you enter.
- Technical request data such as IP address, access time, HTTP headers, device/platform category, interface language and error information.
- A random signed browser-session identifier, without your name, phone number or email address.
- Aggregated and pseudonymized audience and advertising indicators: page opens, ad requests and renders, empty auctions and error categories.
Telegram bot data
When you use @vidosha_bot, we process your Telegram ID, username when available, interface language, message and button identifiers, submitted link, selected options, job status and prepared-file metadata. These records are used to perform the job, prevent duplicates, recover after failures and display request state.
The local media copy is removed after successful delivery or operational cleanup. Telegram may independently retain messages and delivered files under its own policies. Bot database records should not be treated as anonymous, and a user-facing deletion mechanism is not currently provided.
Why this data is used
- Create a job, return the result to its owner and restore state after a page reload.
- Limit abuse, automated attacks and excessive concurrent requests.
- Diagnose failures, measure capacity and improve the interface.
- Display and measure advertising that helps keep the service free.
Links and temporary files
The link and options travel from the Russian entry server to the processing server in the Netherlands over a private channel. The processing server requests the selected public platform, creates the result and temporarily stores the working file. Downloads are streamed through the Russian server without saving a media copy on its disk.
Completed files are deleted automatically when availability expires, or earlier after cancellation or operational cleanup. A technical job record is kept for a limited period; after expiry, the source URL, title, author, filename and media identifiers are removed from it.
Security and retention
The session uses a random signed identifier, while the IP address used for internal limits is transformed with a one-way function. Metrics do not contain raw IP addresses, full user-agent strings, links or video titles. Infrastructure access is restricted and operational logs rotate.
Information is kept only as long as needed for delivery, security, failure recovery and required operational logs. Aggregated counters without source identifiers may be kept longer to understand service performance.
Third-party services
- Source video platforms receive a network request for the public item and apply their own terms.
- Yandex Advertising Network processes ad-delivery data under its own privacy and cookie policies.
- When you use @vidosha_bot, Telegram provides the bot developer with public profile data, messages, button actions and interface language as described by Telegram.
- Hosting, networking and security providers may process technical data as needed to provide their services.
