Overview
Instagram Reel Controls ("the Extension") is a Chrome extension that adds customizable playback controls to Instagram Reels and videos on Instagram.
Your privacy is important to us. The Extension is designed to operate locally in your browser and does not collect, sell, or share personal information.

Local Storage
The Extension uses Chrome's storage functionality to save your preferences.
For example, the Extension may store settings such as:
Whether playback controls are enabled
Whether the Fullscreen button is visible
Whether the Picture-in-Picture button is visible
Whether Resize Controls are visible
Whether Auto Loop is enabled
Whether Auto Next Reel is enabled
These settings are stored locally by the browser and are used only to remember your Extension preferences.
The Extension does not use this storage to collect or transmit personal information.
Instagram Page Access
The Extension requires access to Instagram pages in order to provide its advertised functionality.
When you visit Instagram, the Extension may interact with video elements on the page to provide playback features such as:
Fullscreen
Picture-in-Picture
Video resizing
Auto Loop
Auto Next Reel
Customizable playback controls
This processing occurs locally in your browser for the purpose of providing the Extension's functionality. The Extension does not collect or transmit Instagram content to an external server.
Data Sharing and Selling
We do not sell, rent, or share user data with third parties.
The Extension does not transfer user data to external servers for advertising, analytics, profiling, or other unrelated purposes.
Analytics and Tracking
The Extension does not use third-party analytics or tracking services to monitor users.
The Extension does not use user data for advertising or targeted marketing.
Data Security
Because the Extension does not collect or transmit personal data, there is no user database maintained by the Extension.
Your saved Extension preferences remain in your browser's local extension storage.
Children's Privacy
The Extension does not knowingly collect personal information from children or any other users.
