Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 29, 2026 | Effective Date: August 29, 2026

Summary: Instavora uses a privacy-first, stateless architecture. We do not maintain a user database, do not track browsing behavior, and do not store downloaded media. Google Drive access is opt-in and used only to upload files to a user-selected folder.

1. Overview and Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how Instavora collects, processes, and protects information when you use the website and services available at Instavora.

2. Information We Process

Instagram Media URLs

Public Instagram URLs submitted through the downloader are processed temporarily to locate and stream the associated media. We do not build profiles around the URLs you submit.

Technical and Operational Data

Standard HTTP requests may include IP address, browser type, and operating system for routing and abuse prevention. Short-lived request IDs may be generated to help debug intermittent server errors.

3. Google API Services and Google Drive User Data

Instavora offers an optional Google Drive integration that lets you save downloaded media directly to your personal Google Drive account.

Google OAuth compliance:

We request only the minimum Google Drive permissions needed for the user-initiated workflow.
We do not store Google access tokens in a database or local browser storage.
We never sell or share Google user data with third parties.
Google user data is not used for advertising or AI model training.

4. Data Retention and Storage

Downloaded media files are streamed directly from source to destination and are not permanently stored on our servers.

5. Third-Party Services and Links

Meta / Instagram: Used to resolve publicly hosted content requested by the user.
Google LLC: Used only when you voluntarily connect Google Drive for cloud backups.
Vercel Inc.: Used for hosting and delivery.

6. Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for children under 13 years of age.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy periodically to reflect operational, legal, or regulatory changes.
