Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 5, 2026

Data Collection

This extension does not collect, store, transmit, or share personal data with any developer-owned external server. All feature data (such as followers, following, posts, stories, highlights, favorites, and alarms) and user preferences (theme, language, and module settings) are stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API and remain on your device.

We do not collect user data now, and we do not plan to collect user data in the future. If that ever changes, this policy will be updated before any new collection begins.

How It Works

This extension works with your existing logged-in Instagram session in your browser. It fetches required Instagram data directly from Instagram/Meta domains and processes results locally inside the extension runtime. No request data is sent to any developer-owned backend.

Network Requests

The extension communicates only with official Instagram/Meta domains required for functionality:

instagram.com: profile, story, highlight, search, and page-context operations.

i.instagram.com: API endpoints for followers, following, feed, likers, and stories.

cdninstagram.com: profile pictures and media assets delivered by Instagram CDN.

fbcdn.net: media assets delivered by Meta/Facebook CDN subdomains (including common scontent-*.fbcdn.net and video-*.fbcdn.net patterns).

No data from these requests is collected for external analytics, logged to developer-owned servers, or shared with third parties.

Third-Party Services

This extension does not use third-party analytics, tracking, advertising, telemetry, or data broker services.

Permissions

The extension requires the following permissions, each used only for the stated purpose:

storage: Save local feature state, cache, favorites, alarms, notifications, theme/language, and module preferences on device.

downloads: Save media files only when the user explicitly triggers a download action.

alarms: Run periodic local checks for story alarm/notification functionality.

cookies: Read Instagram csrftoken for authenticated requests to Instagram endpoints.

declarativeNetRequest: Enable/disable local rules for story seen/receipt blocking behavior in story-viewer protection mode.

Story Viewer Data: Favorites, alarms, notifications, and seen history.
