Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 7, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how InstantFollowerTracker.com ("we", "us") collects, uses and protects information when you visit https://instant-follower-tracker.vercel.app (the "Site").
1. Your Instagram data stays on your device
When you use the Follower Tracker, the ZIP or JSON files you select are read and analyzed entirely inside your web browser. They are never uploaded to our servers or shared with anyone. We cannot see your followers, your following list or any other content of your files.
To show who unfollowed you between checks, the tracker saves a list of follower and following usernames in your browser's local storage (IndexedDB) on your device. You can delete it at any time with the "Delete saved history" button or by clearing your browser data.
2. Information we collect automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider and analytics tools may record standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited and the date and time of your visit. We use this information to keep the Site secure and to understand which content is useful.
3. Advertising and cookies
We use Google AdSense to show advertisements. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
- You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info.
Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalized ads and non-essential cookies are used, through a Google-certified consent management platform.
4. Email
If you contact us by email, we use your address and message only to reply to you. We do not sell or share it.
5. Children's privacy
The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
6. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, or to object to its processing. Because we do not store your Instagram data, there is nothing to delete on our side. Data saved by the tracker lives only in your browser. To make a request, please contact us.
7. California privacy rights (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information is collected about you, to request its deletion or correction, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell your personal information, and we never receive the contents of your Instagram files. Advertising partners such as Google may collect cookie and device information to show ads; you can opt out of personalized ads at Google Ads Settings or by enabling Global Privacy Control in your browser. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. To make a request, contact us.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when it was last changed.
