Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how InstaInflu collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit instainflu.com or communicate with us.

By using InstaInflu, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information displayed in the directory

InstaInflu operates an influencer and creator directory. We may collect and display information that creators, public figures, brands, or account operators have made publicly available, including:

• Names and usernames.
• Profile photographs and public profile descriptions.
• Public social-media profile links.
• Public follower and following counts.
• Public post, engagement, and activity information.
• Creator categories, topics, and publicly stated locations.
• Links to public websites and other social-media accounts.
• Statistics, rankings, estimates, and classifications derived from public information.

Information may be obtained from publicly accessible social-media profiles, public websites, licensed data providers, submissions, and our own calculations.

A profile's inclusion in InstaInflu does not mean that the person created, approved, or verified the profile.

2. Information you provide to us

We may collect information you voluntarily provide when you:

• Contact us by email.
• Request a profile correction or removal.
• Submit a privacy request.
• Report an intellectual-property concern.
• Suggest a creator or provide profile information.

This information may include your name, email address, message, social-media username, verification information, and any documents or materials you choose to provide.

Please do not send sensitive personal information unless it is reasonably necessary for your request.

3. Information collected automatically

When you visit InstaInflu, our hosting and technical service providers may automatically process information such as:

• Internet Protocol address.
• Browser and device type.
• Operating system.
• Requested pages and referring URLs.
• Approximate location derived from an IP address.
• Dates, times, and technical request information.
• Security and error logs.

We use this information to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and understand use of the website.

4. How we use information

InstaInflu may use information to:

• Operate and maintain the directory.
• Create, update, organize, and display creator profiles.
• Calculate statistics, rankings, and engagement estimates.
• Respond to questions and requests.
• Verify correction, removal, and privacy requests.
• Detect fraud, abuse, scraping, and security threats.
• Diagnose technical problems.
• Improve the usefulness and performance of the website.
• Protect our rights and comply with applicable law.

5. Publicly available information

InstaInflu focuses on information associated with public-facing creator and social-media activity. However, the fact that information is publicly accessible does not necessarily remove every privacy interest associated with it.

We provide a process through which creators and authorized representatives can request corrections or profile removal. Requests may be sent to [email protected].

6. How we disclose information

We may disclose information:

• To hosting, security, analytics, and technical service providers working on our behalf.
• When reasonably necessary to operate or protect InstaInflu.
• To comply with legal process or applicable law.
• To investigate fraud, security incidents, or misuse.
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or transfer of the website or its assets.
• With your direction or consent.

InstaInflu does not sell personal information for money.

InstaInflu does not currently share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. If this practice changes, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any legally required choices.

7. Cookies and similar technologies

InstaInflu may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for security, traffic management, preferences, and website functionality.

If analytics or other optional technologies are introduced, information about those technologies and available choices will be provided in our Cookie Policy.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain technologies may affect website functionality.

8. Data retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including operating the directory, responding to requests, maintaining security records, resolving disputes, and complying with legal obligations.

Public creator information may remain in the directory while the relevant profile remains public and useful, unless it is corrected, removed, or no longer appropriate to display.

9. Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect information. However, no website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

10. Your privacy choices

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights to:

• Request access to personal information associated with you.
• Request correction of inaccurate information.
• Request deletion of certain information.
• Obtain information about how information is collected and disclosed.
• Opt out of certain sales, sharing, or targeted advertising.
• Appeal a decision concerning a privacy request.
• Be free from unlawful discrimination for exercising privacy rights.

To submit a request, email [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Request."

We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity. An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by law, but we may request evidence of the agent's authority.

InstaInflu does not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising. Therefore, an opt-out mechanism for those activities is not currently necessary. We will update this policy if our practices change.

11. California privacy notice

California residents may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, subject to its scope, thresholds, definitions, and exceptions.

The categories of personal information InstaInflu may process include:

• Identifiers.
• Internet or electronic network activity.
• Professional or creator-related information.
• Public social-media information.
• Inferences such as creator categories or engagement estimates.

The sources and purposes of this information are described above.

InstaInflu does not knowingly sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

12. Children's privacy

InstaInflu is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.

If you believe a child's personal information has been submitted to us improperly, contact [email protected].

13. Third-party websites

Creator profiles may link to Instagram and other third-party websites. InstaInflu does not control their privacy practices, content, or security. Review the privacy policies of those services before interacting with them.
