Privacy by Design & Local Sovereignty
At Trivuz®, we believe desktop utility software should be completely transparent and respect user privacy. Download Manager and its companion browser extensions are engineered from the ground up with a zero-knowledge, local-first design. We do not collect, monetize, log, or transmit personal information, browsing history, or download activity.
Core Privacy Commitments
No User Accounts
You are never asked to register, sign in, or provide an email address. Download Manager operates immediately and independently upon launch.
Zero Telemetry & Ads
Zero analytics probes, zero tracking beacons, zero advertising SDKs, and zero background analytics. Exactly 0 KB of personal telemetry is generated.
Local Storage Only
All settings, download queues, histories, and credentials remain strictly contained within your operating system's local data directories.
1. On-Device Storage Transparency
Download Manager stores configuration state and session logs exclusively on your device. We provide full transparency into where your data resides:
%APPDATA%\DownloadManager
Or local directory in portable USB mode.
~/.config/downloadmanager
Conforms strictly to XDG Base Directory standards.
2. Browser Extension Permissions Audit
The companion browser extension operates under strict least-privilege principles, adhering to Google Chrome Web Store and Mozilla Add-on security requirements:
| Permission | Technical Purpose | Privacy Guarantee |
|---|---|---|
| downloads | Detects user download clicks and routes files to desktop client | Never logs or uploads download history |
| cookies | Passes session cookies directly to local client for authenticated files | Never sent to external or cloud servers |
| nativeMessaging | Communicates directly with the local Download Manager desktop app | Binds strictly to local machine loopback |
| scripting | Injects video grabber overlays on supported media players | Zero scraping of page content or personal inputs |
