Information handled by the service
F4Facebook processes the public link you submit for the active request so it can locate media options made available by Facebook. When a browser-validation or extraction attempt fails, the full submitted URL and failure category may be sent to the operator's configured private Telegram alert chat for troubleshooting. The SQLite counter stores only the UTC day, failure category, and count; it does not store the submitted URL. The application does not intentionally write the full submitted URL to normal production logs. Do not submit private links, credentials, cookies or access tokens.
IP addresses and rate limiting
Like any web service, the hosting stack receives an IP address to deliver a response. Flask-Limiter also processes the request address for abuse prevention and rate limiting. The repository does not define a verified retention period or hosting region, so this policy does not invent either fact.
Analytics and cookies
No analytics provider is configured. The browser analytics interface is a no-op until an owner explicitly connects a provider, and its allowlist excludes submitted URLs and video identifiers. No application cookie is set by the current F4Facebook code.
Third-party delivery
Videos are not hosted by F4Facebook. A download may be delivered from the original platform's content network. Your browser and that provider handle the resulting request under their respective policies.
Choices
F4Facebook does not create user accounts. Avoid submitting personal or restricted links. Contact the published support route for a privacy question about this service.
