Privacy Policy

This policy covers the IGHunter Chrome extension and the ighunter.com website. IGHunter is published by InsightSocial; accounts, subscriptions and saved data live on InsightSocial's infrastructure, and this policy describes exactly what is stored there and why.

The short version

• IGHunter fetches nothing while you browse. A lookup happens only when you press Show contact, and it runs in your own browser on your own Instagram session.
• When a lookup succeeds, the revealed profile is stored in your account so you are never charged for the same profile twice and so it appears in your saved list.
• We do not read your Instagram messages, followers, or browsing history, and we never act on your behalf — no follows, likes, comments or DMs.
• We do not sell data. To anyone.

What the extension stores when you reveal a profile

Pressing Show contact reads the fields the profile owner published on Instagram and saves them as one record (ighunter_reveals) keyed to your account:

• Identity of the profile you revealed — username, Instagram user ID, display name, profile picture URL, follower count, category, and whether it is a business or verified account.
• The published contact fields — public email, business email, phone number, bio text, bio links and website, as Instagram serves them to anyone viewing the profile.
• Public "about this account" details where Instagram provides them — join date, country, verification date.
• Bookkeeping — when you revealed it and whether the reveal was charged.

This record exists for three reasons at once: it is your saved profile, it is the ledger your monthly quota is counted from, and it is the guard that makes re-opening the same profile free. None of the contact data is collected by us independently — every value comes from what the account holder chose to publish on Instagram, fetched at the moment you asked for it.

Anonymous use

You can use your first 10 reveals without an account. Those reveals are stored only on your device, in the extension's local storage. Nothing reaches our servers until you sign in, at which point your device's reveals are uploaded to your new account so you keep them — they are never charged again.

Deleting a revealed profile

You can delete any profile from your saved list, and it disappears from every view. The underlying record is retained in a deleted state rather than erased, because it is also the proof you already paid for that profile: it keeps your quota count honest and keeps re-opening that profile free. To request full erasure of your account and everything in it, email [email protected].

Your Instagram session

Lookups run inside your browser using your own logged-in Instagram session. Your Instagram password and session cookies are never sent to our servers — the extension only transmits the result of the lookup (the profile record described above) to store it in your account.

Account data

Signing in uses your InsightSocial account (Google sign-in or email). We store your email address, name and avatar as provided at sign-in, plus your subscription state. Payments are processed by Polar; we never see your card details.

Where data lives

Revealed profiles and account data are stored in a PostgreSQL database operated by InsightSocial. Data is transmitted over HTTPS only.

This website

ighunter.com is a static marketing site. It sets no tracking cookies of its own; we use Google Analytics to count visits. The site stores none of your revealed data — that lives in your InsightSocial portal, behind your sign-in.
