Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Costco Image & Video Downloader handles information while helping users identify and download product images and videos from supported Costco product pages.
Costco Image & Video Downloader is designed to perform its core media-detection and downloading functions directly in the user's browser. The extension does not sell personal information, does not create advertising profiles, and does not collect Costco account passwords or payment information.
1. About This Extension
Costco Image & Video Downloader is a browser extension created specifically to help users locate and download product media displayed on Costco websites.
When a user visits a supported Costco product page, the extension may inspect the page for product-related media resources such as:
- Product gallery images
- High-resolution product image URLs
- Product videos available on the page
- Product thumbnails and alternate product views
- Limited product information needed to organize or name downloaded files
This access is used only to provide the image and video downloading functionality requested by the user.
2. Information the Extension Accesses

3. How Costco Page Data Is Used
Information detected on a supported Costco page is used only when necessary to perform extension features.
For example, the extension may:
- Scan the current Costco product page for image elements and media resources.
- Identify higher-resolution versions of images where those versions are made available by the webpage.
- Detect product video sources that are exposed to the browser by the product page.
- Display detected media inside the extension's download interface.
- Prepare selected files for individual or batch downloading.
- Use a product name or product identifier to generate understandable filenames when appropriate.
The extension is not designed to use Costco page information for behavioral advertising, credit scoring, user profiling, or unrelated data analysis.
4. Local Processing
The core operation of Costco Image & Video Downloader is designed to take place within the user's browser.
When the extension detects an image or video on a Costco product page, the relevant media information may be temporarily processed in the browser so that the user can preview, select, and download the desired files.
Page content accessed for this purpose is not used to build a database of the user's Costco browsing activity.
5. Browser Permissions
Costco Image & Video Downloader may request browser permissions that are technically necessary for its media downloading features.
Website access
Access to supported Costco webpages may be required so that the extension can identify product images, videos, and related media URLs displayed on those pages.
Downloads
Where the browser requires download-related functionality or permissions, they are used to save media files selected by the user to the user's device.
Storage
Browser storage may be used to remember extension-specific settings, such as interface preferences or download options.
Stored extension preferences are not intended to be used to create a profile of the user's browsing behavior.
6. Information We Do Not Intentionally Collect
Costco Image & Video Downloader does not require the following information to provide its core functionality:
- Costco account passwords
- Credit or debit card numbers
- Banking information
- Checkout payment details
- Government identification numbers
- Private communications
- Personal address books
- Health information
- Biometric information
- Advertising identifiers for targeted advertising
The extension is also not designed to read the contents of unrelated webpages merely for analytics or profiling purposes.
7. Sale or Sharing of Personal Data
Costco Image & Video Downloader does not sell personal information.
Information accessed through the extension is not sold, rented, or traded to advertisers, data brokers, or marketing companies.
Costco page data accessed for the extension's downloading functionality is not used for personalized advertising.
8. Downloaded Images and Videos
Images and videos selected through the extension are downloaded at the user's request.
Once a file is downloaded, it is generally managed by the user's browser, operating system, and local storage environment.
The user is responsible for determining whether downloading, storing, reproducing, publishing, or otherwise using particular product media is permitted under applicable laws, website terms, licenses, and intellectual property rights.
The extension provides a technical downloading tool and does not grant ownership or additional usage rights over Costco product images, videos, trademarks, or other content.
9. Data Retention
Media information detected from a Costco page is generally needed only while the extension is identifying and preparing the requested media for download.
Extension preferences stored locally in browser storage may remain until they are changed, cleared, or the extension is removed.
Users can typically remove locally stored extension data by clearing browser extension data or uninstalling the extension.
10. Security
The extension is designed to limit data access to what is reasonably necessary for identifying and downloading product media.
Reasonable technical measures are used to reduce unnecessary data exposure and to keep extension functionality focused on the user's requested action.
However, no browser, software application, network connection, or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
11. Third-Party Websites and Services
Costco Image & Video Downloader operates in connection with webpages and media resources provided by third-party websites, including Costco websites.
Those websites operate under their own terms, privacy policies, cookie practices, and security procedures.
This Privacy Policy applies specifically to the Costco Image & Video Downloader browser extension and does not replace or modify the privacy policies of Costco or other third-party services.
12. Children's Privacy
Costco Image & Video Downloader is a general-purpose productivity tool for downloading product media and is not designed specifically for children.
The extension does not intentionally seek to collect personal information from children.
13. User Control
Users remain in control of when they use the extension and which media files they choose to download.
Users may stop using the extension at any time. They may also remove the extension through their browser's extension management interface.
Locally stored preferences can generally be removed by clearing the extension's stored data or uninstalling the extension.
