Is Telegram Downloader - Free Telegram Video Downloader safe?

Low risk

Telegram Downloader sends the active tab URL, public IP, and stored install identifiers to an Aliyun logging endpoint.

On install or update, the background script generates a persistent UUID, reads the current active tab URL, public IP, install time, and stored user email value if present, then posts the log entry. It calls api.ipify.org to obtain the public IP address and sends the assembled telemetry to hawkeye-us.us-west-1.log.aliyuncs.com.
