Privacy Policy

Last updated

Your Instagram ZIP stays in your browser. This policy explains what the checker saves on your device, what we measure when you visit the site, and what happens when you email us.

In short

  • The checker reads and compares the lists on your device. It doesn’t send us the ZIP or the lists.
  • Your browser can save recent comparisons for your next visit. Use Clear saved data to remove them.
  • We use Google Analytics to count visits and which features get used, such as choosing a ZIP or exporting a CSV. It never receives usernames, file names or list contents.
  • Our host handles web requests, and we receive only the emails you choose to send.

How your Instagram files are processed

When you choose your Instagram export, your browser opens the ZIP and reads the followers and following lists. The comparison runs in your browser. The checker doesn’t sign in to Instagram or ask for your Instagram password.

Check it yourself: open the Network tab in your browser’s developer tools, then choose a ZIP. Page resources may load, but the requests don’t carry the ZIP or its lists.

What we store on your device

When browser storage is available, the checker saves up to two snapshots per imported account in IndexedDB. It stores the lists, account label, export and import dates, list format and file count, and a file fingerprint to recognize repeat imports. The filename or the details you enter supply the account label and export date. The checker also saves your stars and remembers the last account you checked. It doesn’t save the original ZIP or sample results.

Newer imports replace older snapshots. To clear all saved results, account selections and stars for this site in this browser, choose Clear saved data on the results screen, or clear this site’s data in your browser settings. This doesn’t delete your downloaded ZIP or CSV files or clear another browser’s data.

Information we collect

  • Site requests. Cloudflare Pages hosts the site. Cloudflare may process your IP address and other request data to deliver and protect the site.
  • Usage measurement. Google Analytics records page views and feature events: opening the export guide or the official export page, choosing a ZIP, whether reading it worked and in which format, switching result tabs, exporting a CSV, and clearing saved data. Google also receives your device and browser type, approximate location derived from your IP address, and the page that referred you. We don’t send usernames, file names, follower lists, or result counts. Google Analytics keeps this data for 14 months.
  • Support email. When you write to us, we receive your email address, message, and any attachments you include. We use them to respond and handle your request, and delete them once they’re no longer needed for that. Please leave out passwords, export files, and full follower lists.

Cookies and similar technologies

The checker stores saved comparisons in IndexedDB, not in cookies.

Google Analytics sets first-party cookies (_ga and _ga_*) to tell visits apart. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we don’t set these cookies: Google receives only cookieless measurements without an identifier. We use Google’s consent mode for this, with all advertising features turned off. To opt out anywhere, block cookies for this site or use Google’s opt-out add-on.

Cloudflare may use security cookies, depending on which protections are enabled.

Advertising

This version doesn’t display ads or load advertising scripts.

Third-party services

Your rights

To remove results saved in your browser, use Clear saved data. For information you’ve shared with us, you can ask about access, correction, or deletion using the address below. Use “Privacy request” in the subject line. The rights that apply depend on your circumstances and the applicable law.

Children's privacy

The checker is intended for people comparing exports from their own Instagram accounts. It doesn’t ask for your age or date of birth. If you believe a child sent us personal information, please contact us.

Changes to this policy

When our practices change, we’ll update this page and show when the new policy takes effect.
