Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

What this tool does

IG Viewer lets you look up public Instagram profile information and stories by username. When you submit a username, our server fetches that publicly available information from Instagram on your behalf and displays it to you — your own Instagram account, if you have one, is never used or contacted in this process.

What we collect from you

We do not require an account, login, or personal information to use this tool. The username you search for is sent to our server to perform the lookup and is not linked to any personal profile of yours. Standard server logs (such as IP address and request timestamps) may be recorded temporarily for security and abuse prevention, and are not sold or shared with third parties.

Third-party data (Instagram content)

The profile and story information shown by this tool is publicly available content hosted by Instagram, a product of Meta Platforms, Inc. We do not control this content, its accuracy, or how long it remains available. This tool is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Instagram or Meta.

Cookies

This site does not use tracking or advertising cookies at this time. If that changes in the future (for example, to add analytics), this policy will be updated accordingly before any such cookies are set.

Your rights

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the UK, or another jurisdiction with data protection rights, and you believe we hold personal data about you (beyond standard, short-lived server logs), you may contact us to request access, correction, or deletion.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "last updated" date.
