Privacy Policy — Instagram Downloader
Instagram Downloader saves Instagram posts, Reels, stories, and profile media that you choose to download.
What the extension handles
- Website content. When you click a download button, the extension reads the photos, videos, and post data on the open Instagram page so it can save those files to your device.
- Authentication information. To load more posts from a profile you are viewing, the extension reads your existing Instagram cookies (csrftoken and ig_www_claim) and sends them only to instagram.com, with the session you are already logged into. It does not read your password. It does not store these cookies and does not send them to the developer or to any other site.
- Download progress. If a profile download stops, the extension stores progress on your device (profile username, counts, page cursor, and saved shortcodes) in Chrome local storage so you can resume. This data is not sent to a server.
What the extension does not do
The extension does not collect your name, email, health information, payment information, location, browsing history, or keystrokes. It does not sell or transfer user data. It does not use data for advertising, credit, or lending. It does not send data to the developer.
Data stays on your device, except for requests to Instagram and its media servers (instagram.com, cdninstagram.com, and fbcdn.net) that are required to download the files you selected.
You can remove locally stored download progress by removing the extension in chrome://extensions.
