Everything the extension saves lives on your own computer, in Chrome’s local extension storage. None of it is transmitted anywhere.
| Data | Why | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| Tool settings (ad blocker, ghost mode, mobile view, video controls) | Remember your preferences | Local browser storage |
| Hashtag collections and saved DM replies | Content you created for reuse | Local browser storage |
| Scheduled posts, including the photo or video files | So a scheduled post can be published later | Local browser storage (IndexedDB); deleted once published or cancelled |
| A snapshot of your follower list (usernames and ids) | To tell you who unfollowed you since the last scan | Local browser storage; overwritten on each scan |
| Trial start date and paid status | To know whether Pro tools are unlocked | Local browser storage |
Uninstalling the extension removes all of it. You can also clear it any time from
chrome://extensions.
InstaDesk acts inside your browser as you. When you publish a post, download a file or scan your followers, the request goes from your browser straight to Instagram using the session cookie already in it. InstaDesk never sees, stores or transmits your Instagram password, and it cannot access your account when your browser is closed.
We never collect your posts, messages, followers, viewing history or any other Instagram data. Follower scans happen on your machine and the results stay there.
| Service | What it receives | When |
|---|---|---|
| Instagram (instagram.com, cdninstagram.com, fbcdn.net) | The same requests your browser would normally make, plus the actions you ask for | Whenever you use a tool. Governed by Instagram’s own privacy policy. |
| Apple iTunes Search API | Only the text you type into music search | Only while you are searching for a song. No account data is sent. |
| InstaDesk configuration file | Nothing. The request asks for a static JSON file and sends no information about you. | Occasionally, to check whether the list of Instagram endpoints the extension uses has changed. Configuration data only — no code is downloaded or run. |
| ExtensionPay / Stripe | Your email address and payment details, entered on their pages | Only if you choose to buy Pro. Card details go directly to Stripe — InstaDesk never sees them. |
InstaDesk is not directed at children under 13 and collects no data from anyone.
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it, and the new version ships alongside the extension update that made the change necessary.
