At InSnoop, your privacy is our top priority. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and handle your information when you use our web-based Instagram Story viewer and downloader service. We are committed to transparency and want you to understand exactly how our platform operates regarding your personal data, browsing information, and digital privacy.

By accessing or using InSnoop, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy. Please read this document carefully to understand our practices regarding your information and how we will treat it.

Information We Collect

Minimal Data Collection Philosophy

At InSnoop, we operate on a principle of minimal data collection. Unlike many online services and web applications, we do not require you to create an account, provide personal information, or log in to use our platform. This fundamental approach ensures that your identity remains completely anonymous and your privacy is protected at all times.

Information You Provide

When using InSnoop, you may enter Instagram usernames to view Stories and Highlights from public profiles. This information is used solely to fetch and display the requested content from Instagram’s public interface. We do not store these usernames in any database or link them to your identity, IP address, or any other identifying information.

Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites and online services, our web servers may automatically collect certain technical information when you visit InSnoop. This may include:

Device Information: Information about the device you use to access our service, including device type, operating system, and browser type. This helps us optimize our platform for different devices and ensure compatibility.

Usage Data: General information about how you interact with our website, such as page views, click patterns, and session duration. This non-personal data helps us understand user behavior and improve our service quality.

Log Data: Our servers may automatically log standard information such as IP addresses, browser types, referring pages, and access times. This technical data is used for system maintenance, security purposes, and performance optimization.

Important Note: All automatically collected information is anonymized and aggregated. We do not use this data to identify individual users or track personal browsing habits. This information is never sold, shared, or used for marketing purposes.

How We Use Information

Service Delivery

The primary use of any information collected is to provide and maintain the InSnoop service. When you enter an Instagram username, we use that information to retrieve publicly available Stories and Highlights from Instagram and display them to you. This process is immediate and does not involve storing your query in our systems.

Platform Improvement

Aggregated usage data helps us understand how users interact with InSnoop, which features are most valuable, and where we can make improvements. This analytics information is completely anonymized and cannot be traced back to individual users.

Security and Fraud Prevention

We use technical information to protect our platform from abuse, malicious activity, and security threats. This includes monitoring for unusual patterns, automated bot activity, and potential cyber attacks that could compromise our service quality or user safety.

Technical Maintenance

Log data helps our technical team diagnose system issues, optimize server performance, and ensure platform stability. This information is essential for providing a reliable and fast service to all users.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookie Usage

InSnoop uses minimal cookies and similar tracking technologies. We do not use cookies for advertising, user profiling, or cross-site tracking. Any cookies used are strictly functional and essential for the technical operation of our website.

Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for basic website functionality, such as maintaining session state and ensuring proper page loading.

No Third-Party Tracking: We do not implement third-party tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or analytics cookies that follow you across the internet. Your browsing privacy extends beyond our platform.

You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. However, disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our service.

Third-Party Services and Data Sharing

No Data Selling

InSnoop does not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer your information to third parties for marketing or commercial purposes. Your privacy is not a commodity to us.

Instagram Public API

Our service accesses publicly available Instagram content through Instagram’s public interface. When you use InSnoop to view Stories, our system retrieves this public information on your behalf. We act as an intermediary, fetching public data that is already accessible to anyone on the internet.

No Direct Instagram Connection

Importantly, InSnoop does not connect to Instagram using your credentials or on your behalf in any authenticated manner. We only access information that is publicly visible without login requirements.

Service Providers

We may work with trusted service providers who assist us with hosting, maintenance, and technical support. These providers have access only to the technical information necessary to perform their functions and are obligated to maintain confidentiality and data security.

Children’s Privacy

InSnoop is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has used our service, please contact us, and we will take appropriate action.

Data Security

Security Measures

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect any information processed through our platform. This includes:

Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using SSL/TLS protocols, ensuring that information cannot be intercepted during transmission.

Secure Servers: Our infrastructure is hosted on secure servers with firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and regular security updates.

Access Controls: We maintain strict access controls to limit who can access our systems and technical infrastructure.

Regular Audits: We conduct periodic security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential security risks.

Data Minimization

Our best security practice is not storing sensitive information in the first place. By collecting minimal data and not requiring user accounts, we eliminate the risk of data breaches involving personal information.

Your Rights and Choices

Access and Control

Because InSnoop does not collect or store personal information tied to your identity, there is no personal data to access, modify, or delete. Each time you use our service, you do so anonymously without creating a persistent record tied to you.

Browser Settings

You maintain full control over your browsing experience through your browser settings. You can:

  • Clear browsing history and cache
  • Disable cookies
  • Use private browsing or incognito mode
  • Employ VPN services for additional privacy

Opt-Out Options

Since we don’t engage in user tracking, profiling, or targeted advertising, there are no marketing communications or tracking systems to opt out of.

International Users and Data Transfers

InSnoop is accessible to users worldwide. If you access our service from outside the region where our servers are located, please be aware that any information processed may be transferred to and processed in different jurisdictions. We take appropriate measures to ensure that any such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and maintain adequate security protections.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or service features. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy and may provide additional notice through our website.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy. Your continued use of InSnoop after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

Data Retention

Given our minimal data collection approach, there is virtually no personal data to retain. Any technical logs or aggregated analytics data we collect is retained only as long as necessary for system maintenance, security purposes, and service improvement, typically no longer than 90 days.

InSnoop complies with applicable data protection laws and privacy regulations, including but not limited to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) for European users, CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) for California residents, and other relevant privacy frameworks.

We may disclose information if required by law, legal process, court order, or governmental request, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.

InSnoop may contain links to third-party websites or resources. This Privacy Policy applies only to InSnoop. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any information to them.
