Your data, your control

Data deletion

Last updated: 19 May 2026

Short version: Fame idm does not collect any personal data on our servers. We have no database, no accounts, no user IDs — there is nothing for us to delete remotely. Everything the extension and the app handle lives on your own device. The steps below remove every byte of that local state.

1. Remove the browser extension

Chrome / Edge / Brave / Opera

  1. Open chrome://extensions.
  2. Find matata download helper.
  3. Click Remove. Confirm.

This deletes the extension's chrome.storage data (intercept settings, the minimum-size threshold, etc.) automatically.

Firefox

  1. Open about:addons.
  2. Find matata download helper.
  3. Click Remove.

2. Uninstall the desktop application

  1. Open Settings → Apps → Installed apps in Windows.
  2. Find Fame idm (or matata on older installs) and click Uninstall.
  3. The uninstaller removes the program files. Your downloaded files themselves stay where you put them — they're yours.

3. Clear the leftover local state (optional but thorough)

The Windows uninstaller leaves your preferences behind in case you reinstall. To wipe them completely:

Preferences (registry key)

reg delete "HKCU\Software\matata" /f

In-progress download sidecars

Look next to any files you were downloading for *.mtpart files and delete them. They contain partial bytes + resume metadata only — no personal information beyond the download's source URL.

Logs

del /S "%LOCALAPPDATA%\matata\logs\*.log"

Native Messaging host registration

del "%APPDATA%\Google\Chrome\NativeMessagingHosts\matata_host.json"
del "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\NativeMessagingHosts\matata_host.json"

4. We don't hold anything on our servers

For the avoidance of doubt: there is no Fame idm account, no Fame idm cloud, no backup service. We do not run analytics, ads, crash-reporting, or any telemetry endpoint. Nothing about your downloads, browsing, or system reaches a server we control. See the full Privacy Policy for the technical breakdown.

5. Questions or formal removal requests

If you need a written confirmation for compliance reasons, or have any data-related question, email siagmoo26@gmail.com. We respond within 14 days.
