Privacy Policy

Equitysoft Technologies Pvt. Ltd. ("we", "our", or "us") values your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use our Instagram Status Saver: Reels mobile application and related services.

By using the application, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

1. Application Overview

Instagram Status Saver: Reels is a personal-use media saving and organization application that allows users to save and manage publicly accessible Instagram media that they have the right or permission to download.

The application allows users to:

• Sign in using Google
• Paste supported public Instagram media links
• Retrieve and preview supported public posts, reels, and IGTV clips
• Save supported media to their personal media library
• Organize saved media in a unified library
• Filter saved content by images and videos
• Mark saved media as favorites
• Share saved media with other applications
• Delete saved media
• Access locally cached media and library information when offline

The application is an independent third-party utility and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or officially connected to Instagram or Meta Platforms, Inc.

The application is intended only for content that users own or otherwise have the legal right or permission to download and save.

The application does not intentionally support downloading content from private Instagram accounts or Instagram Stories.

2. Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you use the application.

2.1 Account Information

When you sign in using Google, we may receive limited account information associated with your Google account, which may include:

• Name or display name
• Email address
• Profile picture, where made available by the authentication provider
• Google account identifier
• Authentication-related information and tokens

Authentication is provided through Firebase Authentication using Google Sign-In.

Our backend uses the authentication information provided by Firebase to verify the user's identity and associate application data with the appropriate user account.

We do not receive or store your Google account password.

2.2 Media and Link Information

When you use the application to save supported public Instagram media, you may provide:

• Public Instagram post URLs
• Public Instagram reel URLs
• Public Instagram IGTV URLs
• Other link information necessary to process the requested media

The application sends the submitted link to our backend for processing.

Our backend may use a third-party media resolution service, such as Apify, to retrieve publicly accessible media associated with the submitted URL.

We use this information only to process the requested media-saving functionality.

Users are responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary rights or permission to download and save the content they request.

2.3 Saved Media and Library Information

When you save media using the application, information associated with your saved media may be stored, which may include:

• Media files
• Media URLs or source information
• Media type
• Original source link
• Favorite status
• Saved date or related metadata
• Other information required to manage the saved media

Saved media is associated with the user's application account so that each user can access and manage their own media library.

2.4 Local Device Storage

The application uses local storage and caching technologies, including Hive, to maintain certain application data on your device.

Local storage may include:

• Cached media
• Media library information
• Favorite status
• Locally stored application data
• Other information required to provide offline-first functionality

Local cached information may remain available on the device even when an internet connection is unavailable.

Deleting your account or server-side data does not necessarily remove locally cached files from your device automatically. Users may need to delete locally stored application data or uninstall the application to remove information stored locally on their device.

2.5 Device and Technical Information

The application may process limited technical information necessary to operate, maintain, secure, and troubleshoot the application, such as:

• Device type
• Operating system and version
• Application version
• Technical request information
• Network-related technical information
• Authentication and session-related information
• Error or diagnostic information, where applicable

We use this information primarily to maintain application functionality, security, reliability, and performance.

3. How We Use Your Information

We may use collected information to:

• Authenticate users through Google Sign-In
• Create and manage application user accounts
• Associate saved media with the appropriate user
• Process supported public media links
• Retrieve requested media through third-party media resolution services
• Preview media before saving
• Store and manage saved media
• Provide a personal media library
• Organize saved images and videos
• Provide filtering functionality
• Maintain favorite media
• Allow users to share saved media
• Allow users to delete saved media
• Provide offline access through local caching
• Maintain application security

• Improve application performance and reliability
• Respond to user support requests
• Comply with applicable legal requirements

We use your information only for purposes reasonably necessary to provide and operate the application's features and services.

4. Public Instagram Media and Link Processing

The application is designed to process supported publicly accessible Instagram media provided through links submitted by users.

Supported content may include:

• Public Instagram posts
• Public Instagram reels
• Public Instagram IGTV clips

The application does not intentionally support:

• Private Instagram accounts
• Private content
• Instagram Stories

When you submit a supported public link, the link may be processed by our backend and third-party media resolution services to retrieve the publicly accessible media requested by you.

We do not claim ownership of content retrieved through the application.

Users are solely responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary rights, authorization, or permission to download, save, use, or share any content accessed through the application.

You should respect the rights, privacy, intellectual property, and terms applicable to content creators and platforms.

5. Data Storage

Information associated with your account and saved media may be stored using the backend infrastructure required to operate the application.

The application uses a custom backend built with Node.js and Express.

Application metadata is stored using a MySQL database managed through Prisma ORM.

Saved media files may be stored on backend server infrastructure used by the application.

Authentication uses Firebase Authentication with Google Sign-In. The backend uses the Firebase Admin SDK to verify Firebase authentication tokens and associate authenticated requests with the appropriate application user.

Firebase Firestore and Firebase Storage are not used as the application's primary database or media storage systems.

The application also stores certain information locally on the user's device using Hive to provide caching and offline-first functionality.

We take reasonable steps to protect stored information through appropriate technical and organizational safeguards.

However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

We may share or provide limited information to trusted service providers when necessary to operate, maintain, secure, or support the application.

These service providers may include:

• Authentication service providers
• Cloud or server infrastructure providers
• Database and hosting providers
• Media resolution or processing service providers
• Technical service providers
• Security and infrastructure providers

For example, when you submit a supported public Instagram URL for processing, relevant link information may be sent to a third-party media resolution service, such as Apify, to retrieve the requested publicly accessible media.

Service providers may process information on our behalf only as necessary to provide their services.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with applicable laws or regulations
• Respond to valid legal processes
• Comply with court orders or governmental requests
• Protect our rights, property, or security
• Protect the safety of users or others
• Detect or prevent fraud, abuse, or security issues

7. Third-Party Services

The application may use third-party services to support certain functionality. These services may include:

Google Sign-In / Firebase Authentication

We use Firebase Authentication to provide Google Sign-In and authenticate users. Firebase may process authentication-related information in accordance with its applicable privacy practices.

Firebase Admin SDK

Our backend uses Firebase Admin SDK to verify authentication tokens provided by the application and establish the authenticated user's identity.

Apify

The application may use Apify or related third-party media resolution services to process supported public Instagram links and retrieve publicly accessible media requested by the user. The submitted public media URL and information necessary to process the request may be transmitted to the applicable service.

Third-party services may have their own privacy policies, terms, and data practices.

Users should review the privacy policies of applicable third-party service providers for additional information about how those services process information.

We may update this Privacy Policy if our use of third-party services or data practices materially changes.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to help protect your information against unauthorized access, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or loss.

Our application uses authenticated requests and server-side authorization controls to help ensure that users can access and manage only information associated with their own accounts.

Firebase authentication tokens are verified by our backend before protected application functionality is accessed.

Saved media and associated application data are scoped to the authenticated user's account.

However, no electronic transmission or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Therefore, while we take reasonable measures to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Account and Data Deletion

Users may request deletion of their application account and associated personal information.

Users may also request deletion of saved media and associated application data.

When a deletion request is received, we will take reasonable steps to delete applicable information associated with the user's account, subject to legal, security, fraud prevention, or other legitimate retention requirements.

Deletion of server-side account information may not automatically remove media or other information that has already been stored locally on the user's device.

Users may need to manually remove locally cached application data or uninstall the application to remove locally stored information.

To request account or data deletion, users may contact us using the contact information provided below.

10. Children's Privacy

Instagram Status Saver: Reels is not specifically designed for children.

Users must meet the minimum age requirements applicable in their region to use the application.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If we become aware that a child has provided personal information in circumstances where collection is not permitted, we will take appropriate steps to remove such information where required by applicable law.
