In short: Download Manager does not use accounts, advertising SDKs, analytics SDKs, or developer servers. The app only connects to the direct file URL you provide in order to download the requested file.
Download Manager is developed by Halil Goktepe ("we", "us", "our"). This privacy policy explains how the Download Manager Android application handles information.
We do not collect, sell, rent, or share personal data with the developer. Download Manager does not use:
The app stores download history locally on your device so you can see recent downloads and use actions such as open, share, retry, copy URL, or remove.
This local history may include the link you entered, shared, or imported, the selected or inferred file name, and Android DownloadManager download IDs. Downloaded files are saved in your device's public Downloads folder. On Android 9 and older the app asks for storage access only for this purpose; if you decline, files are saved in the app-specific folder instead. This information is not sent to the developer.
Before a download starts, the app sends a lightweight request (HEAD, or a GET for the first byte) to the link you provided to read the file name, type, and size. If the link is a web page, the app reads that page once to list the file links it contains. When you start a download, Android DownloadManager connects to the link to download the file.
These requests go only to the server of the link you chose. That website or server may receive standard network request information, such as your IP address, user agent, and the requested URL, according to its own policies.
Download Manager does not proxy downloads through developer servers and does not upload downloaded files to the developer.
Downloads from HTTPS links are transferred using the security provided by the destination website or server. If you choose to download from an HTTP link, that connection may not be encrypted.
If you tap Share or Open, Android may pass the selected downloaded file to another app chosen by you. This only happens after a user action.
Download Manager does not include integrated advertising, analytics, attribution, or tracking SDKs.
You can remove download history entries inside the app and delete downloaded files with the app's Delete file action. Files saved in the Downloads folder stay on your device after the app is uninstalled; you can delete them with any file manager.
Download Manager is not designed for children and is not directed to children under 13.
We may update this privacy policy if the app's features change. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date.
