Terms of Use and Privacy
Last updated: November 11, 2026
Please read the following before using TwiDrop (the "Site"). By starting to use the Site, you are treated as having agreed to what is written here.
1. Introduction
The Site collects the locations (URLs) of videos in publicly available posts on X (formerly Twitter) and presents them through Trending and overall rankings by period.
When you enter a post's URL, the Site extracts the URL of the video in that post and helps you play and save it. The video files are on X's servers; the Site does not copy and host them.
Playback connects directly to X's servers. When you use the save button, the video data may pass through the Site's servers so that you can receive it as a file even on a smartphone, but even then we do not store or accumulate the data.
Rankings are built from a score that combines users' saves, plays and likes, for 24 hours, 1 week, 1 month, 1 year and all time. There are also daily, weekly and monthly archives, Trending, browsing by poster, search and favorites.
Favorites are stored only in your browser and are never sent to the Site's servers.
There is no account system. Anyone can use the Site without signing up.
2. What you can and can't do
The Site may include adult content, and content is not sorted or filtered. People under 18 may not use the Site.
Use saved videos only within the scope of personal enjoyment. You may not redistribute, repost or sell them without the rights holder's permission.
Saves, plays and likes are counted at most once per hour from the same person for the same video.
The following are prohibited. If we find them, we may restrict access without notice.
- Anything that violates the law or public order and morals, or infringes others' rights
- Redistributing, reposting or selling saved videos without the rights holder's permission
- Unauthorized access or interfering with the operation of the Site
- Excessive access by bots or automated tools
- Manipulating the number of saves, plays or likes, for example by repeated access
- Using information obtained from the Site for harassment or nuisance
- Anything else the operators judge to be inappropriate
3. For rights holders (copyright and takedowns)
Copyright in videos and images belongs to their respective posters and rights holders. The Site does not acquire or claim those rights.
The Site respects the rights of third parties. When an infringement of copyright, portrait rights, privacy or similar rights is confirmed, we promptly stop showing the content concerned.
A takedown request needs the URL of the post and the requester's relationship to it (the poster, their agent, or the rights holder). We can't act on requests without a URL.
Takedown requests are normally handled within about 3 business days, which may vary depending on how busy we are. Content that breaks the law and urgent reports are handled first.
A takedown here means stopping the display and link on the Site. The original post on X remains unless the poster deletes it. To have the original post deleted, please contact X.
You can send a takedown request as follows.
- Open Contact and choose "Takedown request" as the topic.
- Enter the URL of the post concerned.
- In the message, describe your relationship to the post (the poster, their agent, or the rights holder) and any information we can use to verify it.
- Enter an email address we can reach you at and send. We'll let you know by email when it's done.
4. Limits of liability
The Site runs on third-party platforms, including X's public endpoints.
We do not guarantee the accuracy or safety of the information shown, or that the Site will always be available.
Changes or outages on X may make fetching, playing or saving videos impossible. We may also stop some features without notice.
We may change, suspend or end the service as needed.
The Site is provided as is. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any damage arising from its use.
You are responsible for how you handle saved videos.
We are not responsible for the content of external sites you reach from the Site.
5. Information we collect and how we use it
To provide, improve and secure the service, we may collect the following information.
- Access information such as your IP address and browser type (server logs)
- An anonymous session ID (the cookie "tv_sid", a random string valid for 1 year)
- Usage such as plays, saves and likes (aggregated in a way that doesn't identify individuals)
- What you enter in the contact form (name, email address, target URL, message), plus the IP address and browser information at the time of sending
- Markers for your favorites and whether you pressed like (stored only in your browser)
We use the information we collect for the following purposes.
- Operating the service and providing its features
- Counting plays, saves and likes, and preventing double counting
- Security measures such as limiting excessive access, and preventing misuse
- Replying to inquiries and verifying takedown requests
- Analyzing usage to improve the service
The anonymous session ID is used only to avoid counting the same person's plays, saves and likes twice. It does not identify you.
Because there is no account system, we only receive your name and email address when you contact us.
We do not give collected information to third parties without your consent, except where required by law.
Personal information you provide in an inquiry is used only as far as needed to respond, and is managed appropriately.
We keep collected information only as long as needed for the purpose.
6. Cookies and ads
We use a cookie (tv_sid) to prevent double counting. This cookie contains no information that identifies you.
Markers for favorites and likes are stored in your browser's storage (localStorage and sessionStorage). You can clear them from your browser settings.
We may use Google Analytics to analyze traffic. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects access information in a form that doesn't identify individuals. See Google's privacy policy for details.
We may place links to external services, such as ads and affiliate links. The linked destination is an external service, and it may handle information about your visit.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features, such as preventing double counting, may then not work correctly.
7. Compliance with content-related laws
The Site handles location information for posts published on X, an external platform, and is not involved in producing or publishing the videos.
We comply with relevant laws, including 18 U.S.C. §2257, to the extent they apply.
If you suspect content that breaks the law, involves minors, or shows footage filmed or shared without the person's consent, please tell us via "Report a problem post" in Contact. We'll review it and promptly stop showing it.
8. Changes to this document and contact
We may revise these terms and the privacy policy as needed.
Revised content takes effect from the moment it is posted on this page.
These terms are governed by the laws of Japan.
