Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information is received when you visit StoriesIG at storiesinsta.org, why it is received and how it is used.

StoriesIG is a free, browser-based tool for viewing and saving publicly available Instagram Stories, Highlights, Reels, photos and videos. There is no account to create, no Instagram login to enter and nothing to install, so the site does not ask you for a name, a password, a phone number or a payment method at any point.

This policy applies to visitors of this website only. It describes information collected online through storiesinsta.org and does not apply to Instagram, to any other website you reach from a link here, or to information collected offline or through channels other than this website.

By using storiesinsta.org you consent to this privacy policy and agree to its terms. If you do not agree with any part of it, please stop using the site.

Data

Server Log Files

Like most websites, storiesinsta.org and the hosting infrastructure behind it keep standard server log files. A log entry is created automatically whenever a browser requests a page or a file, and it is a routine part of serving a website on the internet.

A log entry can record your Internet Protocol (IP) address, your internet service provider, the browser type and version, the operating system and device type, the date and time of the request, the page or file requested, the referring page, and how long the request took. These entries are not linked to any information that identifies you personally.

Log data is used to operate and secure the service: to diagnose errors, to understand which pages are used, to detect abuse or automated scraping, and to keep the site online. It is not used to build an advertising profile of you.

StoriesIG also records anonymous page-performance measurements from your browser — the page path, whether the screen is phone-sized or desktop-sized, and page-loading timings such as how long the largest element took to appear. These measurements contain no personal information and are used only to keep the site fast.

Cookies

Cookies and Browser Storage

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store. Browser storage such as localStorage and sessionStorage works in a similar way. Both are commonly used to remember preferences, to keep a site working correctly across page views and to measure how a site is used.

The StoriesIG tool itself does not require you to sign in and does not need a cookie to identify you personally. Cookies and browser storage may still be set on this site by us for basic functionality and security, and by the third parties described in the next section, including advertising networks.

You can control cookies from your browser settings: most browsers let you see which cookies are stored, delete them, block them for individual sites or block them entirely. Detailed instructions are published by each browser vendor. Blocking cookies may change how some parts of this site or the ads shown on it behave.

Advertising

Third-Party Advertising Partners

StoriesIG is free to use and may display non-intrusive advertising supplied by third-party advertising networks. Each of these networks has its own privacy policy governing the data it collects, and we do not control the technologies they use.

When an advertisement, a piece of ad-serving JavaScript or a tracking pixel is loaded on a page you visit, that request goes directly from your browser to the advertising network. As with any request your browser makes to another server, the network receives your IP address, and it may also receive your user agent, the page the ad appeared on and similar technical details. Advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons and JavaScript to measure the effectiveness of their campaigns and to personalise the advertising you see.

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads. Google's use of the DART cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and to other sites on the internet.

You can opt out of the DART cookie and manage the ads-personalisation settings Google applies to you at Google's Advertising and Privacy page. You can also opt out of personalised advertising from many other vendors through the industry opt-out pages those vendors operate.

Scope

What StoriesIG Does Not Do

We do not sell your personal data. We do not ask for or store your Instagram password, and we never request the credentials of any account.

An Instagram username or profile link that you type into the viewer is used only to carry out the request you made at the moment you made it. It is not saved to a profile about you, and there is no account history on this site because there are no accounts.

We do not knowingly request sensitive personal information such as financial details, health information or government identifiers, and you should never send such information to us.

Information may be disclosed where the law requires it, for example in response to a valid legal request, or where it is necessary to protect the safety, rights or property of visitors and of the service itself.

COPPA

Children's Information

Protecting children online is an important part of running any website. StoriesIG is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13.

We encourage parents and guardians to observe and guide their children's online activity, and to talk with them about never providing personal information on any website without permission.

If you believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information through this site, please contact us and it will be removed from our records as quickly as we reasonably can.

Your Choices

Your Choices, Changes and Contact

You can use this site without giving us any personal information. You can also clear or block cookies in your browser, use your browser's private-browsing mode, opt out of personalised advertising using the links above, or simply stop using the site at any time.

This policy may be updated so that it keeps describing the site accurately. The current version is always the one published on this page, and the date it was last revised is shown in the page's structured data. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.

If you have a question about this policy, or a request about information relating to you, write to us by email and we will respond as quickly as we reasonably can.
