InstaCognito Privacy Policy
Last updated: 3-August-2025
Welcome to InstaCognito. Your privacy matters to us, and we are committed to protecting it when you use our services. This Privacy Policy clearly explains how we handle data.
1. Information We Process
We are committed to user privacy and have designed our service to function without collecting or storing your personal data.
- Personal Data: We do not require you to create an account, log in, or provide any personal information (such as your name or email address) to use our service. We do not store any personal data related to your activity.
- Technical and Usage Data: Like all websites, our servers may temporarily log technical data required for the site to function securely. This can include your IP address and browser type. This data is used solely for security diagnostics and preventing malicious activity (e.g., DDoS attacks). It is not used to identify or track you and is not stored long-term.
2. Data Sources
Our service retrieves data only from publicly accessible third-party sources. InstaCognito cannot and does not access private accounts or private content. We do not store or archive any Instagram data on our servers.
3. Use of Data
We do not store, retain, analyze, or sell any user data or downloaded content data. All actions performed by users on our site are anonymous and are not tracked.
4. Cookies and Analytics
We do not use our own cookies for tracking. However, our service relies on trusted third-party services that may use cookies to function correctly.
- Cloudflare: We use Cloudflare for security and performance. Cloudflare may use necessary cookies to identify trusted web traffic and protect our service from malicious bots.
- Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand how users interact with our website, which helps us improve our service. Google Analytics collects anonymized usage data, including truncated IP addresses, to remain compliant with privacy regulations like GDPR. We do not send any personal information to Google Analytics.
For more information, please review Google's Privacy Policy and Cloudflare's Privacy Policy. You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level.
5. Advertising
If advertisements are introduced in the future, we will partner with reputable ad networks and ensure compliance with applicable privacy regulations. We will provide an opt-out mechanism where required.
6. Third-Party Websites
Our service retrieves publicly available data from Instagram. We do not have control over, nor do we take responsibility for, the privacy practices of third-party sites. Users are encouraged to review Instagram’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
7. Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
We operate globally and comply with major privacy regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). These regulations grant users specific rights over their personal data.
Because our service is designed to operate without storing your personal data, these rights apply as follows:
- Right of Access, Rectification, and Erasure: Since we do not collect or store any personal data about you, there is no information to access, correct, or delete.
- Right to Object to Processing: You have the right to object to the processing of technical data like your IP address by using privacy-enhancing tools such as a VPN.
Our fundamental principle is data minimization—if we don't need the data, we don't collect it.
8. Terms and Conditions
Use of our service is also governed by our Terms and Conditions, which outlines your responsibilities when using our platform.
9. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy occasionally. Changes will be posted on this page along with an updated revision date. Continued use of InstaCognito indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
