Hintstagram (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website hintstagram.app and related pages (the “Service”). This policy explains how we handle your information under the UK GDPR, the EU GDPR, and applicable privacy laws. For questions, contact info@hintstagram.app.
We do not see or store any other user or private information. We do not sell your data.
If you choose to connect with Instagram or Facebook, we only request the minimum permissions required to provide the feature you use. We do not store your Meta access tokens on our servers; processing is performed in your browser and any tokens kept in session storage are cleared when your session ends or you close the browser tab. We never post on your behalf without your explicit action.
You can revoke access at any time via your Meta account settings. Data received from Meta is handled in accordance with this policy and Meta’s platform terms.
We do not use your information for targeted advertising.
Strictly necessary session cookies / storage. We may use a short-lived, essential cookie and/or session storage to keep you signed in and make the site work. These expire when you close your browser (or shortly thereafter).
No analytics or advertising cookies by default. If we embed third-party content (e.g., Instagram), those services may set their own cookies — see their policies for details.
Ephemeral by design: while you’re on the site, you can view your own stats and content. When you leave, that in-session data is cleared and is not retained by us.
We do not sell your data. We may share limited information with trusted service providers (e.g., hosting, email, form handling) who act under our instructions as data processors and are bound by confidentiality and data protection terms.
We may disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights, or to prevent abuse.
If we use processors outside the UK/EU, we rely on lawful transfer mechanisms (e.g., UK/EU Standard Contractual Clauses) and supplementary safeguards as needed.
Under the UK GDPR/EU GDPR, you may have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, object, and data portability. You also have the right to withdraw consent at any time (this does not affect processing before withdrawal) and to lodge a complaint with your local authority (e.g., the UK ICO).
To exercise your rights, contact info@hintstagram.app. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling requests.
If you created an account or shared your email with us, you can request deletion by emailing info@hintstagram.app with the subject “Data Deletion Request”. We will remove your email and associated records (if any) and confirm once completed.
In-session data (your stats/content visible while using the site) is not retained by us and is cleared when you leave.
The Service is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. In certain EU countries, additional age thresholds may apply. If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us so we can delete it.
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we design Hintstagram to minimise data collection and retention.
We may update this policy to reflect changes to the Service or law. We will post the updated date at the top. Material changes will be highlighted where appropriate.
