Privacy Policy

Effective date: 24 July 2025

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains what usage data is collected and processed by the Insta-stories website and PWA located at Insta-stories.ru (the “Platform”) and how the Platform’s administration (“Administration”, “we”) protects that data.

By accessing the Platform you confirm that you have read this Policy and agree to it in full. If you disagree with any provision, please stop using the Platform immediately.

1. Key Points • The Platform has no registration and does not request your name, email address, phone number or any other identifying information. • “Automatically Collected Data” means technical information logged by analytics tools (IP address, approximate geolocation, device model, OS version, language settings, cookies and other identifiers).

2. Sources and Scope of Collection • The Platform does not actively collect or store any user-submitted personal data—there are no forms to enter it. • When you visit the Platform, cookies may be placed on your device and usage data captured automatically by third-party analytics services (e.g., Yandex Metrica).

3. Purposes of Processing • to operate and maintain the Platform; • to conduct internal statistics and improve user experience; • to ensure security and prevent abuse; • to show content, advertising and notifications we consider relevant.

4. Data Disclosure • Automatically collected data may be transmitted to our service providers (hosting, analytics vendors, ad networks) and processed on their servers, which may be located outside your jurisdiction. • We rely on contractual obligations of these providers to offer appropriate protection but do not guarantee their performance.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies You can restrict or disable cookies via your browser settings. Doing so may diminish your experience on the Platform.

6. Storage and Deletion We do not retain raw server logs longer than necessary to operate the Platform and meet legal requirements. Data stored in external analytics systems is retained under their own policies, which are beyond our control.

7. Disclaimer of Liability • The Platform is provided “as is” without any express or implied warranties. • The Administration shall not be liable for the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of data collected by third-party systems, nor for any direct or indirect damages arising from the use or inability to use the Platform. • Users are solely responsible for configuring the privacy settings of their devices and browsers.

8. Third-Party Links The Platform may contain links to external websites. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, security or data-handling practices.

9. Changes to This Policy We may update this Policy at any time. The current version is always available at this address; the effective date is shown above. Continued use of the Platform after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
