This Privacy Policy explains how inststoryviewer.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information. By using our website (the “Service”), you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you disagree with any part of it, please do not use our Service.
1. Platform Independence
InstStoryViewer is an independent platform and is not affiliated, endorsed, or sponsored by Instagram or any other third-party service. We do not host, store, or alter copyrighted content — we simply provide access to publicly available Instagram materials.
All trademarks and copyrights are the property of their respective owners.
2. About Cookies
Like most websites, we use cookies — small text files that help our website function and improve your experience. Cookies allow us to remember your preferences, analyze site traffic, and provide more relevant features.
Types of cookies we use:
Essential cookies – These are required for core website functionality. Without them, basic features like navigation or content display may not work properly.
Preference cookies – These remember choices you’ve made, like language settings, to make future visits smoother.
Analytics cookies – These help us understand how people use our site (anonymously), so we can make it better.
2.1 Managing Cookies
You’re in control of cookies. You can manage or disable them in your browser settings. Just note: turning off cookies might affect how the site works.
By continuing to use our site, you agree to the use of cookies as described above.
3. Public Content Only
All Instagram content shown through our site is already public. We do not store, modify, or bypass privacy settings. What you see is simply what’s already available to the general public on Instagram.
4. Third-Party Links
Sometimes our site may contain links to other websites or services. These are beyond our control. We are not responsible for their content, security, or privacy practices. Please review their policies separately before interacting with them.

By using our Service, you agree to use it legally and responsibly. That means complying with applicable laws, and respecting the rights and rules of content platforms like Instagram. We don’t support any misuse of our service, including intellectual property violations or other policy breaches.
6. Data Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect non-personal data (like cookie information) from unauthorized access or misuse. However, no system is completely secure — so please use the site at your own discretion.

Our website is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any data from children. If we learn that a child has used the site or provided data, we will delete that information.
