Privacy Policy
Last updated August 14, 2026
1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how Instagram story viewer ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use our website and public Instagram viewer tools.
Instagram story viewer is an independent service. You do not create an account with us, and you should never enter your Instagram password on this website. We only help you browse publicly available Instagram content.
2. Information you provide
When you use the viewer, you may submit:
- an Instagram username, @username, or public profile URL
- a public Instagram media URL you want us to resolve
We use this information only to look up the requested public profile or media and return the available Stories, Reels, or Posts. We do not ask for your Instagram login, email address, or password.
3. Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we may automatically receive technical information when you visit, including:
- IP address, browser type, device type, and operating system
- pages viewed, referring URL, and approximate time of the visit
- search and download actions needed to operate and improve the service
We also use Google Analytics to understand how people use the site. Google may set cookies and collect usage data according to its own privacy policy.
4. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for analytics and to keep the site working as expected. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you do, some measurement features may not work, but you can still search public Instagram profiles.
5. How we use information
We use the information described above to:
- find and display publicly available Instagram content you request
- cache public profile and media data for a limited time so the site stays fast
- measure traffic, fix errors, and improve the viewer
- protect the service against abuse and excessive automated use
6. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with:
- analytics providers such as Google Analytics
- hosting, caching, and infrastructure providers that help us run the website
- authorities if we are legally required to do so
Public Instagram usernames and media you look up are requested from third-party sources that provide access to publicly available Instagram content. Those providers have their own privacy practices.
7. Data retention
Search queries and public profile lookups may be cached for a short period so repeat visits load faster. Analytics data is kept according to the settings of our analytics provider. We do not keep Instagram passwords because we never collect them.
8. Your choices
You can stop using the site at any time. You can also disable cookies, use a private browsing window, or block analytics in your browser. Because Instagram story viewer does not require an account, there is no profile for us to edit or delete on your behalf.
If you are in a region that grants additional privacy rights, email [email protected] with a request related to information that can reasonably be linked to you, such as a recent IP address in our logs.
9. Children
Instagram story viewer is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information to us, please stop using the service on their behalf.
10. Third-party websites
The site may show or link to Instagram and other third-party pages. We do not control those websites, and their privacy practices are not covered by this policy. Instagram and Meta Platforms, Inc. are not affiliated with Instagram story viewer.
11. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will change when we do. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
12. Contact
Questions about this Privacy Policy can be sent to [email protected]. Your use of Instagram story viewer is also governed by our Terms of Service.
