Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy for Upload to Instagram. StoryTeller (Rewritten Legal-Style Version Without Lists)
This Privacy Policy describes the principles under which information is processed while using the browser extension Upload to Instagram. StoryTeller ("the extension"). By installing or interacting with the extension, you acknowledge that certain technical and functional data may be handled in connection with the services it provides. The extension is designed in a way that avoids requesting personal identifiers such as names, login credentials, email addresses or similar information, unless such details are voluntarily submitted by a user for support or communication purposes. Any data provided in that manner is used exclusively for responding to the inquiry.
During the normal operation of the extension, certain technical parameters of the environment in which it functions—such as networking information, general device or browser characteristics, system-generated diagnostics and usage-related events—may be processed when required for ensuring stability, preventing irregular activity, maintaining compatibility across platforms, or enabling core features. These technical details are not intended to identify specific individuals and are handled solely for operational objectives.
Some online platforms and services that rely on authenticated access may make temporary use of session cookies. The extension may rely on the presence of such cookies within the user's own browser in order to complete functionalities related to uploading or interacting with content. This access occurs exclusively on the user's device; the extension neither transmits nor stores these cookies on servers, nor does it attempt to extract or interpret their contents beyond what is required for completing the action the user initiated. Session data remains confined to the user's local environment and is not shared with external parties.
For the purposes of understanding general usage dynamics and improving future performance, the extension may process technical information that is inherently non-identifiable. Such information may relate to interaction flows, feature activation, aggregated stability indicators, or similar operational patterns, none of which enable the recognition of a particular user. Where analytical data transmission is optional, users are able to disable it within the extension settings, in which case only the minimal data necessary for technical operation will remain active.
Upon initial activation, the extension generates a random anonymous identifier. This identifier is created without reliance on device signatures, browser fingerprints, hardware information or any personal details. Its sole purpose is to distinguish anonymous usage sessions, and in certain cases it may be transmitted to a server exclusively to calculate installation counts or usage frequency without establishing any personal correlation.
Information may be processed at various points—such as during the loading of the extension, interaction with its interface, triggering of upload functions, execution of internal routines, or communication with backend components—whenever such processing is technically required to provide or maintain the service. All processing activities are restricted to operational necessity, and the extension neither constructs behavioral profiles nor attempts to associate technical records with identifiable individuals.
The extension may display promotional materials or references to partner services as part of its monetization framework, enabling the project to remain accessible without charges to the user. Advertising mechanisms operate independently of personal information, and the extension does not sell browsing histories or other user-specific data. Promotional content may appear within various contexts, including external websites, although the extension does not insert advertising into search engine results pages such as those of Google, Bing or Yahoo. Users retain the option to disable promotional elements through the extension settings.
Links to third-party services may be presented within the extension, and such services maintain their own privacy policies, separate from this document. The extension does not assume responsibility for the practices or content of external entities. Technical service providers assisting in maintaining operational infrastructure may receive limited technical information necessary for their function, provided they adhere to confidentiality obligations. Information may also be released if required by law or in circumstances where such action is deemed necessary for protection of rights or safety.
Information is retained only for the duration strictly required to fulfill operational objectives and is removed when it no longer serves a functional purpose. The extension is not intended for individuals under the age of 13, and no data is knowingly collected from such users. In the event of a data incident with potential impact on users, notification will be delivered through the extension within seven business days in accordance with general industry principles and fair information practice standards.
For any questions regarding this Privacy Policy or the data practices associated with the extension, users may contact us through the support interface provided within the extension.
