Privacy Policy for IGRecent Follower Exporter

Last updated: July 14, 2026

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how **IGRecent Follower Exporter** (the "Extension", a Chrome browser extension) handles, processes, and protects your information. The Extension is designed to help you export Instagram followers and following lists to CSV or Excel files locally from your browser.

We are deeply committed to user privacy. The Extension is built on a **local-first** architecture, ensuring that your data remains entirely under your own control.

2. Data We Process and Store (Local-Only)

To perform its primary function of exporting follower and following lists, the Extension reads and processes the following information:

  • Target Profile Metadata: Instagram Username, User ID, Full Name, Profile URL, Avatar URL, and Verification Status of the account you choose to export.
  • Relationship Lists: Public profiles that follow or are followed by the target account.
  • Task and Progress State: Configuration details (such as target username, export limits, current page offset, logs, and timestamps) to enable pause and resume functionality.

Where is this data stored?All processed data, task progress, and log events are stored exclusively in your browser's local database (**IndexedDB**) using Chrome's secure storage API.

3. What We DO NOT Collect or Upload

We strictly enforce a zero-collection policy on our servers:

  • No Passwords: The Extension never prompts you for, reads, or collects your Instagram password. Authentication is handled entirely by your existing session in the Chrome browser.
  • No Cookies or Credentials Upload: We do not store or transmit your authentication headers, session cookies, or tokens to any remote servers.
  • No Data Sharing: Your exported lists, user lists, usernames, or telemetry details are **never uploaded** to our servers or shared with any third-party platforms. All data remains on your local machine.
  • No Third-Party SDKs: The Extension contains no advertising SDKs, analytic tracking libraries, or external scripts.

4. How We Use the Information

The processed information is used solely to generate structured CSV and XLSX files for download onto your local storage device at your explicit request. The data is not used for any other purpose, profiling, or monetization.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

Because your data is stored locally in your browser's IndexedDB, it persists until:

  • You delete specific tasks or click **"Clear all local data"** in the Extension's settings panel.
  • You uninstall the Extension from your Chrome browser.
  • You clear your browser's site data, cache, or local storage.

6. Security and Risks

Security is maintained locally on your computer. We recommend keeping your Chrome browser updated and securing your operating system to protect your local data files from unauthorized access.

Rate Limits and Terms:IGRecent Follower Exporter is an automation helper. Instagram implements strict rate limits. Although the Extension includes cooling down intervals (such as delays and batch rests) to minimize account friction, automated actions may still result in temporary rate limits (HTTP 429) or account restrictions. You assume full responsibility for using the tool in compliance with the platform's terms of service.

7. Non-Affiliation Disclaimer

IGRecent Follower Exporter is an independent utility tool. It is not affiliated with, authorized, endorsed, sponsored, or in any way officially connected with Instagram, Meta Platforms, Inc., or any of their affiliates or subsidiaries.
