Accounts and cookies
Nobody signs in to TikMate, because there are no accounts to create, which also means we hold no profile of you. None of our pages place a cookie in your browser, and none load advertising or tracking code.
Visit statistics
To learn how many people read the guides, we rely on a counter that needs no cookies and is built to respect privacy; its requests travel via our own API. For each visit it notes which page was opened, which page sent you there, the browser, the kind of device and the screen dimensions. The counter is handed your IP address for two jobs only: guessing your country and telling separate visits apart within a single day. The address itself never ends up in the statistics.
Links you paste
A pasted link is passed on to our API, technically a Cloudflare Worker, and the Worker then asks a resolver service that we operate ourselves to locate the video's files. Each request leaves one log line recording three things: which TikTok link or video ID was asked for, when that happened, and how it ended technically, for instance success or the error returned. Every line is erased 30 days later.
IP addresses and hosting
Our logs leave IP addresses out. Cloudflare, which hosts TikMate, does handle them in order to serve the pages and shield the service from abuse.
Video files
Nothing you download is stored on our side, neither video nor audio. Each file travels from TikTok's servers, via our API, to your phone or computer.
