Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 16, 2026

Welcome to IGsty. We respect your privacy and want you to understand how information may be collected, used, and protected when you visit igstypro.com or use its features.

IGsty provides a browser-based tool for processing links to supported, publicly available Instagram media. You can normally use the website without creating an IGsty account or providing an Instagram username and password. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be handled when you browse the site, paste a public link into the download field, contact us, or interact with advertising and third-party services.

By using IGsty, you acknowledge the practices described below. Where local law requires consent for cookies or similar technologies, choices should be provided through the website’s consent notice. Read the IGsty Privacy Policy to learn what information may be collected, how cookies and advertising services are used, and what privacy choices you have.

1. Scope of This Policy

This policy applies to pages, tools, forms, and services hosted on igstypro.com.

It does not apply to Instagram, Meta, advertisers, or other third-party websites, applications, and services. Those parties have their own Privacy Policy and terms. IGsty is an independent website and is not owned, operated, sponsored, or endorsed by Instagram or Meta.

When you click an external link or advertisement, the third party may collect information under its own rules. Please review its Privacy Policy notice before sharing personal information.

2. Information You Provide

You can generally browse IGsty without registering. However, you may voluntarily provide information when contacting us or submitting a request.

This may include:

• Your name and email address
• The subject and contents of your message
• Technical details about a problem
• Screenshots or files you choose to attach
• A public Instagram URL connected to a support request
• Information included in a copyright, privacy, or business enquiry

Please send only the information needed to explain your request. Do not submit Instagram passwords, email passwords, verification codes, payment details, government identification numbers, private messages, or other sensitive information.

3. Links Submitted to the Tool

When you paste a public Instagram link into IGsty, information connected with that request must be processed so the website can attempt to locate and present supported media.

This may include the submitted URL, request time, content type, and technical information needed to deliver the result. Temporary technical records may also be created for error diagnosis, security, performance monitoring, or abuse prevention.

Only submit links to public content that you own, have permission to save, or are legally allowed to access. IGsty is not intended to bypass private-account settings. Public availability does not remove a creator’s copyright, privacy, or other rights.

4. Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, IGsty and the providers that help operate it may automatically receive limited technical information when you visit.

This may include:

• Internet Protocol address
• Browser and device type
• Operating system and language settings
• Referring and exit pages
• Pages viewed and features used
• Date and time of access
• Approximate location based on IP address
• Error, security, and performance logs
• Cookie or advertising identifiers

This information helps keep the website working, identify errors, prevent harmful activity, and improve the user experience.

5. How Information May Be Used

We may use information for reasonable purposes, including to:

• Provide and maintain the download tool
• Process supported public links
• Answer questions and support requests
• Fix broken features and technical errors
• Improve website speed, content, and usability
• Detect spam, automated abuse, fraud, and security threats
• Review copyright, Privacy Policy, or legal requests
• Display and measure advertising
• Meet legal obligations and protect rights

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small files stored by a browser or device. IGsty and third-party services may also use pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, and similar technologies.

They may be used to:

• Remember cookie and privacy choices
• Support essential website functions
• Keep the website secure
• Measure traffic and performance
• Understand general visitor behaviour
• Deliver and measure advertisements
• Limit repeated ads or fraudulent activity
• Personalize ads where permitted

Some cookies may be essential. Analytics and personalized advertising cookies may be optional depending on your location.

You can manage cookies through the website’s consent tool, when available, and through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may affect some website features or prevent certain pages from working correctly.

7. Google AdSense and Advertising

IGsty may display advertisements supplied by Google AdSense or other advertising partners.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve advertisements based on a visitor’s earlier visits to IGsty or other websites. Google’s advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to show ads based on visits to this website and other sites on the internet.

Advertising providers may receive details such as:

• An IP address
• Cookie or advertising identifiers
• General location information
• Browser and device information
• Advertisement impressions
• Advertisement clicks and interactions
• Referring pages
• Date and time information

These providers may use such data for advertising delivery, personalization, measurement, reporting, security, and fraud prevention under their own Privacy Policy.

Users can manage personalized advertising through Google’s advertising settings and available regional opt-out tools.

Where required, visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland, or other regulated locations should be asked for consent before non-essential cookies or personalized advertising data are used.

IGsty may also show non-personalized advertisements. Non-personalized ads may be selected using general information, such as the subject of the current page, approximate location, or recent interaction with an advertisement. These ads may still use limited cookies for frequency control, reporting, security, and fraud prevention.

8. Analytics and Service Providers

IGsty may use hosting, content-delivery, analytics, caching, monitoring, contact-form, or security providers.

These services may process technical details such as IP addresses, page visits, browser information, request times, device identifiers, and error reports. They help us operate the website, investigate problems, understand general traffic, and protect against attacks.

For example, website analytics may help us understand:

• Which pages receive the most visits
• Whether visitors use mobile phones or computers
• How long pages take to load
• Which errors affect the download tool
• Whether visitors can find important information
• Which website improvements may be helpful

Where required by law, optional analytics should be controlled through the website’s consent settings.

9. Legal Reasons for Processing

Depending on your location, we may rely on consent, the need to provide a requested service, legitimate interests in security and website operation, legal obligations, or the need to protect legal rights.

For example, processing a submitted public URL may be necessary to provide the tool requested by the user. Processing server logs may support our legitimate interest in protecting the website against harmful activity.

Where processing depends on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting earlier lawful processing.

10. How Information May Be Shared

Limited information may be shared when reasonably necessary with:

• Hosting, infrastructure, and security providers
• Analytics and website performance services
• Advertising partners, including Google where enabled
• Contact-form and communication providers
• Legal, technical, or other professional advisers
• Government authorities when required by law
• A genuine buyer or successor involved in a business transfer

We do not give third-party service providers permission to use personal information for unrelated purposes merely because they help us operate the website.

However, some providers, particularly advertising and analytics companies, may independently process information according to their own privacy policies and legal responsibilities.

IGsty does not knowingly sell personal information for direct payment. Some Privacy Policy laws, however, define “sale” or “sharing” broadly enough to include certain digital advertising activities. Where applicable, visitors should be offered an appropriate way to opt out of such processing.

11. Data Retention

Information is kept only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected.

Server and security logs may be retained for troubleshooting, fraud prevention, website protection, and service maintenance. Contact messages may be kept long enough to answer enquiries and maintain useful records.

Copyright, privacy, security, or legal correspondence may be retained for a longer period when needed to:

• Respond to follow-up questions
• Comply with legal requirements
• Resolve disputes
• Prevent repeated misuse
• Protect IGsty, its users, or third parties
• Establish or defend legal claims

The exact retention period may depend on the type of information, why it was collected, and whether a legal or security concern remains unresolved.

12. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

These measures may include website security tools, access controls, software updates, monitoring, backups, and protection against malicious traffic.

However, no website, internet transmission, or storage system is completely secure. You should avoid submitting sensitive details that are not necessary.

Security concerns can be reported through our Contact Us page. Do not attempt to access another person’s information or damage the website.

13. International Data Processing

IGsty may be accessed by visitors in different parts of the world. Its service providers may also operate servers or process information in different countries.

As a result, technical or personal information may be transferred to a country with privacy laws that differ from those where you live.

Where required, appropriate safeguards may be used for international transfers.

14. Your Privacy Policy / Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Ask whether personal information about you is being processed
• Request access to certain personal information
• Ask for inaccurate details to be corrected
• Request deletion in suitable circumstances
• Restrict or object to certain processing
• Withdraw consent
• Request eligible information in a portable format
• Opt out of targeted advertising, sale, or sharing
• Complain to a relevant data-protection authority

These rights may be subject to legal limitations or exceptions. For example, we may need to retain certain information to comply with a legal obligation, protect website security, or respond to an active dispute.

To submit a request, use our Contact Us page and explain what you need. We may ask for reasonable information to confirm your identity, but we will never ask for your Instagram password or security code.

15. Privacy Choices for US Residents

Residents of certain US states may have additional privacy rights under local laws.

Depending on the law and whether it applies to IGsty, these rights may include access, correction, deletion, portability, or the ability to opt out of targeted advertising and certain forms of data sharing.

IGsty does not knowingly discriminate against users for exercising a valid privacy right. However, some website functions may not work when the information required to provide that function cannot be processed.

You may submit an applicable request through our Contact Us page.

16. Privacy Choices for European Visitors

Visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland may have rights under GDPR or similar laws.

Where required, IGsty should request valid consent before storing non-essential cookies or using personal information for personalized advertising. Visitors should also be able to review or withdraw their consent through the available privacy or cookie controls.

You may also have the right to contact the data-protection authority in the country where you live or work.

17. Children’s Privacy

IGsty is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13 or the minimum age required by local law.

We do not knowingly collect children’s personal information in a way that requires parental permission. Children should not submit contact forms, screenshots, public links, or personal details without the involvement of a parent or legal guardian.

A parent or guardian who believes a child has submitted personal information may contact us for review.

18. External Links and Downloaded Media

IGsty may link to Instagram, advertisers, social networks, or other websites. We do not control their privacy practices, security, content, or availability.

Before entering information on another website, review its Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

You are also responsible for how you store, use, share, or delete downloaded media. Downloading a file does not transfer copyright, ownership, or permission to reuse it.

Downloaded media may contain information placed there by the original creator or platform. IGsty is not responsible for personal information, metadata, watermarks, or other material contained in the original media.

19. Copyright and Legal Requests

If you contact IGsty About Us, copyright, privacy, security, or another legal matter, we may collect and retain information needed to review the request.

This may include:

• Your name and email address
• Details of the work or content involved
• Public links connected to the report
• Evidence of ownership or authorization
• Copies of relevant correspondence
• Statements made as part of the request

We may share relevant information with professional advisers, service providers, the affected party, or an authority when reasonably necessary to investigate and respond to the matter.

Do not submit false, misleading, or abusive legal requests.

20. Do Not Track and Browser Controls

Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” setting. There is currently no single method followed by every website and advertising provider for responding to these signals.

IGsty may not respond to all Do Not Track signals automatically. However, you can manage many privacy choices through browser cookie controls, the website’s consent tool, Google advertising settings, and regional opt-out services.

Removing or blocking cookies may not remove information already collected, but it may limit future cookie-based processing.

21. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the website, download tool, service providers, advertising features, or legal requirements change.

The revised policy will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.

We encourage visitors to review this page occasionally, particularly after new tools or website features are introduced.

22. Contact Us

Questions about this Privacy Policy, cookies, personal information, advertising, or privacy rights may be submitted through the Contact Us page on igstypro.com.

Include a clear explanation of your concern and an email address where we can respond.

Do not include:

• Instagram or email passwords
• Verification codes
• Banking or payment information
• Private Instagram messages
• Unnecessary identification documents
• Confidential media or private account links

We will review reasonable Privacy Policy enquiries and respond according to applicable requirements.

Final Note

IGsty aims to provide a simple browser-based tool while being open about how technical data, submitted links, cookies, advertising services, and contact information may be handled.

You can help protect your privacy by submitting only public links, avoiding sensitive information, reviewing cookie choices, keeping your browser updated, and reading the privacy policies of third-party websites you visit.
