Privacy Policy for Exta: Pro downloader for Instagram
Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how information is handled when using Exta: Pro downloader for Instagram (the “extension”). The extension operates within the browser environment and processes limited information strictly for providing its functionality, maintaining stability, and supporting ongoing operation. By installing or using the extension, you acknowledge the practices described in this Policy.
Personal Information
The extension does not request, require, or intentionally collect personally identifiable information such as names, email addresses, passwords, account credentials, or similar data. Personal information is processed only when a user voluntarily submits it for support or communication purposes, and such information is used solely to respond to the request.
Technical and Operational Data
During normal operation, the extension may process technical data generated through interactions between the browser, the extension, and supported web services. This may include network-related indicators, browser and operating system characteristics, session diagnostics, and events triggered by user actions. This data is processed exclusively for operational needs, including enabling features, ensuring compatibility, preventing misuse, and improving reliability. It is not used to identify users or create individual profiles.
Cookies and Session Information
Some online platforms require authentication through session cookies. Where necessary, the extension may access such cookies locally within the user’s browser environment to perform actions explicitly requested by the user. These cookies remain entirely on the user’s device and are not transmitted, stored externally, or shared with third parties. The extension does not use cookies for tracking, profiling, or advertising purposes.
Non-Personal and Aggregated Information
The extension may process non-identifiable and aggregated information related to overall usage and performance. This information is used to evaluate stability and improve functionality over time and cannot be linked to any individual user. Optional analytics features may be disabled at any time through the extension settings, after which only minimal processing required for core functionality remains active.
Anonymous Unique Identifier
Upon first use, the extension generates a randomly created anonymous identifier. This identifier is not derived from personal data, device identifiers, browser fingerprints, or hardware attributes. It is used solely to distinguish anonymous usage instances and may be transmitted to a server only for the purpose of counting unique installations or usage sessions, without enabling identification or profiling.
Circumstances of Data Processing
Information may be processed when the extension is loaded, when its interface is accessed, when download-related actions are initiated, or when internal components communicate with backend services required for functionality. All processing is limited to what is necessary to perform actions explicitly requested by the user.
Monetization and Promotional Content
To support continued development and keep the extension free of charge, a monetization mechanism may be activated from time to time. In such cases, promotional content may be opened in a separate browser tab. This mechanism does not modify website content, interfere with normal browsing, or affect user privacy. No personal data is used for advertising purposes, and browsing history is not sold or shared. Promotional content may appear on certain websites; however, the extension does not insert advertisements into search engine results pages such as Google, Bing, or Yahoo. Users may disable promotional content at any time through the extension settings.
Third-Party Services
The extension may contain links to third-party websites or services that operate under their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the data practices of such third parties. Limited technical information may be shared with service providers only when necessary to operate or maintain the extension and subject to confidentiality obligations. Information may also be disclosed when required by applicable law.
Data Retention
Information processed by the extension is retained only for the minimum period necessary to support operational requirements and is removed when no longer needed.
Children’s Privacy
The extension is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13, and no information is knowingly collected from such users.
Notifications and Contact
In the event of a data-related incident that may affect users, notification will be provided through the extension within seven business days. If you have questions regarding this Privacy Policy or the extension’s data practices, you may contact us through the support option provided within the extension.
