Introduction of Instander

Instander is a modified version of the Instagram application for Android devices, offering users additional functionalities not present in the official app. As a third-party modification, it’s crucial for users to understand how their data is managed when using Instander. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information collected, how it’s used, and the measures taken to protect user data.

Information Collection and Use

Personal Data

User Credentials : When logging into Instander, users provide their Instagram credentials. Instander does not collect, store, or transmit these credentials to any third-party servers. The authentication process mirrors that of the official Instagram app, ensuring that login information remains secure.

Automatically Collected Data

Log Files : Like many applications, Instander utilizes log files. These files may record information such as IP addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps. This data is used to analyze trends, administer the app, and gather demographic information.

Cookies : Instander employs cookies to store user preferences and enhance the user experience. Users can adjust their browser settings to refuse cookies; however, this may affect certain functionalities of the app.

Data Usage

  • Crash Reports: Users have the option to send crash reports to help improve the application. These reports are optional, and users can view all data being sent. The information collected is solely for debugging and enhancing app performance

Third-Party Servers

Instander contacts the server “thedise.me” to check for updates and retrieve a list of verified users. These requests are “GET” requests, meaning the app only retrieves data and does not send any user information back to the server.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

Third-Party Services : Instander does not share user data with third-party services. The app operates independently and ensures that user information remains confidential.

Data Security

Instander prioritizes the security of user data. While no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, Instander strives to use commercially acceptable means to protect personal information. Users are encouraged to use strong passwords and keep their app updated to the latest version.

Children’s Privacy

Instander does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If a parent or guardian believes that their child has provided such information, they are encouraged to contact Instander to ensure its removal from the records.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

Instander may update its Privacy Policy from time to time. Users are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. Notifications of changes will be posted on the official website.

Conclusion

Instander is committed to maintaining the privacy and security of its users. By providing transparency in its data collection and usage practices, Instander aims to build trust and ensure a safe user experience.
