Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to EasyInstaView ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we collect, use, and safeguard your information. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding data collection and usage when you visit easyinstaview.com (the "Service").

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information Stored Locally on Your Device

• Search History: Recent searches are stored in your browser's localStorage. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
• Favourites: Saved favourite profiles are stored in your browser's localStorage.
• Cookie Consent Preference: Your cookie consent choice is stored in localStorage so we can remember your preference.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically (With Your Consent)

If you accept cookies through our cookie consent banner, the following third-party services will be activated:

• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. This service collects information such as your IP address (anonymized), browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and time spent on pages. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this data.
• Google AdSense: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. AdSense may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

2.3 Information We Do Not Collect

• We do not require user registration or account creation.
• We do not collect email addresses, names, or other personal identifiers through the Service itself.
• We do not store your Instagram search queries on our servers.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Local storage data is used to enhance your experience by providing quick access to recent searches and saved favourites.
• Google Analytics data is used to understand site traffic, improve our content, and optimize user experience.
• Google AdSense is used to display relevant advertisements, which helps us keep the Service free for all users.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. We use the following types:

• Essential Storage (localStorage): Used to store your cookie consent preference, search history, and favourites. These are necessary for basic site functionality.
• Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics): Used to collect anonymous usage statistics. Only loaded if you accept cookies via our consent banner.
• Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense): Used by Google and its partners to serve relevant advertisements. Only loaded if you accept cookies via our consent banner.

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser's cookies and localStorage, which will reset the consent banner.

5. Third-Party Services

• Instagram API providers: When you search for a profile, your search query is sent to third-party API providers to retrieve publicly available Instagram content.
• Google Analytics: Web analytics service provided by Google LLC.
• Google AdSense: Advertising service provided by Google LLC.

6. Data Storage and Security

User preferences (search history, favourites, cookie consent) are stored locally on your device via localStorage. We do not maintain our own servers that store your personal information.
