Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-05-04
IGViewer is built privacy-first. The short version: we don't store your search queries, we don't store the media we retrieve on your behalf, and we don't share data with third parties.
The complete legal text below is shown in English to preserve precision. We're working on certified translations.
What we collect
- Anonymous, aggregate analytics (page views, browser type) via privacy-respecting analytics. No personal identifiers, no fingerprinting.
- Server logs of API requests for the purpose of rate-limiting and abuse prevention. Requests are bucketed by IP for up to 60 seconds and then discarded.
- If you subscribe to our newsletter, we store your email address until you unsubscribe.
What we don’t collect
- Your Instagram credentials. We never ask for them.
- Your search history. Each lookup is a stateless request.
- Any media we fetch. We stream it through to you and keep nothing.
- Browser fingerprints, ad-network identifiers, or cross-site tracking IDs.
Cookies
We use only essential cookies and a single privacy-respecting analytics cookie. There is no advertising cookie, no consent management dance required by law in most jurisdictions because we don’t share data with third-party processors.
Your rights (GDPR / CCPA)
You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of any data we hold about you by emailing privacy@igviewer.io. Because we collect almost nothing, the answer is usually “there’s nothing to delete.”
