Privacy policy

Short version: we don’t need your data, so we don’t collect it.

What we process

  • The Instagram link you paste, sent to our media API so it can find the file. It is used to answer that request, and media lookups may be cached for under an hour to keep the service fast. We don’t tie them to you.
  • Your IP address, used briefly for rate limiting and abuse protection. It is not stored in a profile.
  • Standard server and security logs from our hosting provider (Cloudflare), kept for a short time.
  • Anonymous usage statistics (pages visited, device type, rough location) through Google Analytics via Google Tag Manager, so we can see which tools people use. They are never linked to the links you paste.

What we don’t do

  • No accounts, no sign-in, no Instagram credentials.
  • No copies of downloaded media on our servers.
  • No selling of personal data.

Local storage

Your browser remembers your light/dark theme choice in local storage. Google Analytics sets its own cookies to count visits. You can block them with any cookie or tracker blocker and every tool still works.

Third parties

Media files are served by Instagram’s CDN, which receives your request like any other image or video load. Media lookups run on the ReelsDl.net API, which processes requests under the same terms. The site is hosted on Cloudflare, and visit statistics are processed by Google Analytics.
