Privacy Policy

How FlowPick handles data in the browser extension, local web tools, website analytics, accounts, and optional cloud transfers.

Last updated: October 28, 2026

Scope

This policy covers the FlowPick browser extension, the tools on flowpick.net, and the optional account and cloud-transfer services. These parts work differently, so their data handling is described separately below.

Browser extension

The extension detects media requests and processes supported downloads on your device. It does not include Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, advertising SDKs, or an extension-specific telemetry service.

FlowPick reads page URLs, titles, resource addresses and selected request headers to detect, preview and download media. Detection results are stored in the browser.

When you start a website download or batch, flowpick.net receives the selected resource URLs, filenames, source page addresses and required request headers. These may include signed URLs, Cookie, Authorization or other access tokens.

Recording sends the selected tab’s title and recorded audio/video to the flowpick.net recording page when you start recording.

Giving data to a website page is different from uploading it to a server. Cloud upload is a separate optional action. Review the website’s notices before using cloud services.

Clear detected items in the list. Use Settings to change resource categories or exclude domains. Disable or uninstall FlowPick to stop all extension access.

Local web tools

File converters, trimmers, analyzers, and the normal browser download workflow are designed to process media locally. Files selected for these local tools are not uploaded to FlowPick.

Some tools must request a source URL directly from its host. That host can receive the normal connection information associated with the request, such as your IP address and request headers.

Website analytics

Flowpick.net may load Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity when their site configuration is enabled. These services can receive technical and usage information such as page views, device and browser details, approximate location derived from an IP address, and interaction data.

FlowPick uses this information to understand site reliability and improve navigation. The website does not use analytics to record the media files you process in local tools.

Advertising on the website

The browser extension described above serves no ads and contains no advertising SDK. This section applies only to flowpick.net.

flowpick.net may show ads through Google AdSense. When ads are enabled:

  • Google and other third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
  • These cookies let Google and its partners show ads that are more likely to be relevant. They do not give FlowPick access to your media files, your account, or the content you process in local tools.
  • You can turn off personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalised advertising through aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu.
  • Where consent is required, for example in the EEA, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, ads are requested only after you answer the consent message shown on the site.

Opting out of personalised advertising does not remove ads. It changes how they are selected, and some ads may then be based only on the page you are viewing.

FlowPick does not control third-party advertising cookies. Their use is governed by the privacy policy of the provider that sets them.

Accounts and cloud transfers

An account is optional. If you sign in, FlowPick receives the email address and account identifier supplied by the selected sign-in provider and stores the records needed to maintain your session, plan, quota, rewards, and transfer history.

A cloud transfer begins only after you choose that option and submit a source. FlowPick then processes the source URL and the minimum request context needed for that task. The service stores task status, file metadata, usage totals, and the prepared output for the retention period shown in the account interface. Cloud transfers are not local processing.

Do not submit private links, credentials, cookies, authorization headers, or media that you are not permitted to process.

Cookies and local storage

FlowPick uses browser storage for preferences and temporary workflow data. Signed-in services use a secure session cookie. Analytics providers may set or read their own identifiers when analytics is enabled. Advertising cookies are described in the advertising section above; FlowPick does not set them itself.

Service providers

FlowPick relies on infrastructure and services that may process limited data on our behalf:

  • Cloudflare for site delivery, security checks, account APIs, and cloud-transfer infrastructure
  • Google or GitHub when you choose one of them to sign in
  • Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity when website analytics is enabled
  • Google AdSense and its advertising partners when ads are enabled on the website
  • The source host when a tool requests a public media URL

Their handling of data is also governed by their own privacy terms.

Retention and control

Local extension data can be cleared from FlowPick settings or the browser's extension controls. You can sign out to end the current account session. Cloud outputs expire according to the date shown with each task. Operational and security records may be kept for a limited period when needed to run and protect the service.

To ask about account data or request deletion, use the contact options below. We may need to verify that the request comes from the account owner.

Children

FlowPick is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly create accounts for children under 13.

Changes

When this policy changes, the updated date at the top of this page will be revised. Material changes will be described on the site when appropriate.
