In short
ReelTik has no accounts. We do not set advertising cookies and run privacy-preserving first-party statistics on our own servers without storing IP addresses or the links you paste. Where permitted by regional policy, privacy-friendly Google Analytics 4 runs by default with opt-out to understand site traffic; for visitors in EEA countries, the UK, Switzerland, and territories under conservative policy, as well as where visitor region is unknown (conservatively applying the same policy), measurement runs only if you explicitly choose to enable it in the footer settings. You can opt out or change your preference at any time. We process the TikTok link you paste in order to fetch the post. Our servers keep short-lived technical logs for security. If you email us, we keep your message in order to answer it (see When you email us).
The links you paste
To find a post, our server sends the link to TikTok. If TikTok cannot be reached or does not return the post, the link may be sent to the third-party service tikwm.com, which looks the post up for us; tikwm's own privacy policy applies to that request. The result (the post's public details and media addresses) is kept in memory for up to 10 minutes so that repeated requests are fast, and is never written to disk.
Videos, sounds and pictures
We do not store any media. When your browser can, it downloads the no-watermark and HD videos straight from TikTok's servers: TikTok then receives your IP address and browser details, as when you watch the video on TikTok, and your browser tells it that the request comes from this site; we send it no cookie and no referrer. Otherwise, and for the other formats, files are streamed from TikTok through our server to your device while you download them, and audio conversion to MP3 happens on the fly without saving the file.
Server logs
Like any website, our web server and our hosting and network providers (such as Cloudflare) record technical data for each request: IP address, date and time, the address requested, and the browser's user agent and referrer. We use this data only to keep the service secure, prevent abuse, enforce rate limits and produce aggregated statistics on traffic and on search-engine and AI crawlers. Logs are kept for up to 14 days and then deleted. The aggregated statistics contain no IP addresses and are kept for up to 90 days. Rate-limit counters exist only in memory for a few minutes.
Site statistics
To know whether the site works and how people find it, ReelTik records a small event on its own server when a page is viewed, a link is looked up, a download button is clicked and a file is delivered. An event holds only: the date and time; the page address and language (on page views only); the country reported by Cloudflare; whether the request came from a regular browser or from a named search or AI crawler; for a regular browser, the type of device (such as phone, tablet or computer) and the names of its operating system and of the browser or app, read from the user-agent string without version numbers; the host name of the referring website (no path or query, on page views only); for a lookup, whether the link was a full or a short TikTok link or a profile lookup, the media kind and whether it worked; for a download, the chosen format and the file size. It never holds your IP address, your browser's user-agent string, the link you pasted, the post ID or username, or a cookie. If your browser sends Do Not Track (DNT: 1) or Global Privacy Control (Sec-GPC: 1), download action events are not recorded. When a page of this site opens, a small script on it sends one request with the page's address (without anything after ? or #) and the host name of the website that linked to it; that is how page views are counted (requests from search engines and other automated clients are counted by the server instead). When you click a download button, your browser sends one small request with the chosen format, and when a video came straight from TikTok, one more with the format, how it was downloaded and the file size.
To count unique visitors per day without cookies, we combine your IP address and user-agent string with a random value that changes every day, keep only a short one-way hash of the result, and delete the random value when the day is over; the hash cannot be traced back to you or linked across days. Individual events are deleted after 14 days. The daily totals made from them (counts only, with no IP addresses or hashes) are kept by the site for up to 90 days, and a copy of the main daily totals — page views, visitors, lookups and downloads, and counts by country, device type and referring site — is kept longer in our internal dashboard so we can compare periods. Only the site's operators can see these statistics.
Cookies and analytics
We do not set advertising cookies or cross-site tracking cookies; the first-party statistics described above run entirely on our own servers without cookies or IP addresses. (Only the operators' login to the statistics dashboard uses an essential cookie.) To download videos straight from TikTok, browsers that support it keep a small script of ours (a service worker) that only handles the download buttons you click; it stores no personal data and is removed when you clear this site's data.
To help us understand site traffic, the site supports Google Analytics 4 (operated by Google LLC in the United States). In regions requiring prior consent (EEA countries, the UK, Switzerland, and territories where conservative policy applies) or where visitor region is unknown, this site conservatively adopts prior consent: measurement only runs if you click "Allow" in the footer Analytics Settings. In other recognized regions, measurement is enabled by default with the ability to turn it off at any time using the Analytics Settings in the footer. Default-on is a regional default and does not represent explicit user consent; if local storage is blocked or cannot be reliably written, automatic analytics remains off. If your browser sends Do Not Track (DNT) or Global Privacy Control (GPC), measurement is blocked automatically regardless of region. Your choice is stored locally in your browser's localStorage for up to 180 days; if your choice expires or site storage is cleared, the regional default is reapplied.
When active, Google Analytics sets first-party statistical cookies (such as _ga and _ga_*) with an expiration of up to 180 days to distinguish unique visits. Google receives technical connection data including your IP address (technical information required to deliver analytics, determine approximate region, and prevent abusive or spam traffic), browser and device characteristics, a clean page path (without URL parameters, query strings, or fragments), a fixed page title, and the referring website's domain. We never send the video links you paste or any tool inputs. This implementation disables Google Signals, ad personalization, and advertising features. Event and user-level data retention in Google Analytics is limited to 2 months with reset on new activity disabled (aggregated overview reports may be retained longer by Google). Data may be processed on servers in the United States under Google's Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. You can turn off analytics or change your preference at any time using the Analytics Settings in the footer; opting out or declining immediately disables measurement and removes analytics cookies from your browser.
Page language
When you open one of our English pages from another website, a bookmark or the address bar, we show it in the language your browser asks for if we have that language, using the language list every browser sends; for Chinese without a region, the country reported by Cloudflare decides between simplified and traditional characters. Nothing about this is stored, and a language you pick in the menu is kept while you browse the site. Search and AI crawlers always get the English page.
When you email us
If you write to contact@reeltik.com, the message is received by the email routing service of Cloudflare, which passes it on to the mailbox our operators read, hosted by Google (Gmail); both companies are based in the United States. Cloudflare passes the message on to that mailbox and also hands a copy to a small program we run on Cloudflare, which keeps it only until our own server has fetched it — normally within minutes and never longer than 14 days. Our server, hosted by Google Cloud in the United States, keeps your email address and name, the subject, the text of the message, the technical headers and the names and sizes of any attachments (not the attachments themselves) in our internal support list for up to 180 days and then deletes them. Cloudflare's delivery log records the sender and recipient addresses, the subject and the result of the delivery for about a month. The mailbox keeps your message as it arrived: your email address and name as your mail program sends them, the subject, the text, any attachments and the technical headers added by the mail servers along the way. Only the site's operators can read it, and we use it only to answer you and to handle what you asked for. Messages sent to us before 28 September 2026 were received by our own mail server instead; they remain in a database on that server and in its backups, readable only by the site's operators, until we delete them.
We reply from our own address through the email delivery service Resend, based in the United States: it receives each reply we send you (your address, the subject and the text, including any part of your message we quote) and, under its own privacy policy, keeps the content of sent messages for about 30 days; our copy of the conversation stays in the mailbox. We keep messages only as long as we need them to handle your request (the copy in our support list for 180 days at most) and delete them when you ask us to. We never add your address to a mailing list or share it, unless the law requires us to.
Your requests
Apart from the short-lived logs described above, the messages you send us, and pseudonymous statistical identifiers stored only if you choose to enable Google Analytics, we hold no data that identifies you. To ask about or delete your data, email contact@reeltik.com.
Children
The service is not directed at children under 13.
