Last updated: October 2026
At SlideShare Downloader Free, we value your privacy and believe using our website should be simple, secure and transparent. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when using our site. By accessing or using our website, you agree to the practices described here.
It covers all four tools: the SlideShare Downloader, the Scribd Downloader, the Issuu Downloader and the Academia Downloader.
Information We Collect
We collect only the information necessary to operate and improve our service.
What you submit
A public SlideShare, Scribd or Issuu URL for processing downloads, your name and email if you contact support, and anything else you include in a message to us.
Academia links
The Academia Downloader builds its links in your browser, so the paper link you paste is not sent to our server.
Collected automatically
Like most websites, standard technical data is collected automatically: IP address, browser type and version, device information, operating system, pages visited, referral source, and the date and time of your visit.
This information helps us improve website performance and maintain security.

Legal obligations

What We Never Do
Protecting your privacy is one of our priorities. We do not:
Store downloaded files
Downloaded files are never permanently stored on our servers once your conversion is complete.
Require an account
No registration is needed to download public content.
Ask for unnecessary data
We don’t collect personal information beyond what’s needed to operate the tools.
Sell or rent your data
Your personal information is never sold or rented to third parties.
Track individual downloads
We don’t track which specific files an individual user downloads.
Share data for marketing
Personal information isn’t shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies to improve functionality and user experience. Cookies may be used to:
Keep the website functioning properly, remember basic user preferences, measure website performance, analyze visitor behavior anonymously, and display relevant advertisements where applicable. Most browsers let you disable or manage cookies through their settings.
Third Party Services
To operate efficiently, we may use trusted third party services, including:
Google Analytics
For anonymous traffic and usage patterns.
Google AdSense
Where applicable, for site advertising.

For site typography.
Hosting and security
Cloud hosting and security providers that keep the site running.
Linked sites
The Academia Downloader links to Academia, Google Scholar and CORE. Those sites run under their own privacy policies.
These providers may collect limited technical information according to their own privacy policies.
Data Storage
We keep only the information necessary to operate the website. Temporary server logs are retained for security, troubleshooting and performance monitoring. Contact requests may be stored until your inquiry has been resolved. Downloaded files are never permanently stored on our servers.
Data Protection
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect information against unauthorized access, misuse or disclosure. Although we take security seriously, no online service can guarantee absolute protection, and users should always exercise caution when transmitting information over the internet. Read our tool safety guide for more.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is intended for general audiences and isn’t designed for children under the age of 13. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us so we can remove it promptly.
