Privacy Policy
Last updated:
FromX.app lets you download media from public posts, Spaces and profiles on X. We built it to need as little about you as possible: there are no accounts, and we do not keep a record of what you download. This page explains what does pass through our servers and why.
What we process
The link you paste. We use it to ask X for the post, Space or profile it names, and to prepare the files you choose. It is not stored against you or kept as a history.
Your IP address. Every website receives it. We use it to limit how many requests one visitor can make in a minute and to decide when to show the Cloudflare Turnstile check. It is kept in a short-lived counter, not in a log of what you did.
Counts. We keep daily totals — how many links were pasted, how many files of each kind were saved — with nothing that identifies a visitor.
Files we prepare
To give you a video, a GIF, an MP3, a ZIP or a Space, our media server fetches it from X and keeps it for a short while, so that a second press is instant. These files are deleted automatically after a few hours. The links to them are signed and expire after an hour.
Cookies and local storage
We set one cookie of our own when you choose a language, so the site opens in that language next time. When you use the downloader, a session cookie protects the form against forged requests. The list of links you pasted recently, offered in the field, is kept only in your browser.
If analytics are enabled on the site, Google Analytics may set its own cookies to count visits. It receives no information about what you download.
Third parties
Cloudflare Turnstile runs the occasional human check and processes the data it needs for that. X receives our server’s requests for the public posts, Spaces and profiles you paste — never your address, your account or anything about you.
Your rights
Since we do not keep personal data tied to you, there is usually nothing for us to show, correct or delete. If you have a question about your data or want to exercise a right under the GDPR or a similar law, write to us at the address on the Contact page.
Children
The service is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly process their data.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is published here with a new date at the top.
