Privacy Policy – Instagram GraphQL Confirm

Overview

Instagram GraphQL Confirm ("the Extension") is a browser extension that intercepts certain network requests on instagram.com and displays a confirmation dialog before they are sent. This policy explains what data the Extension accesses and how it is handled.

    TL;DR: This extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.
    Everything runs locally in your browser.
  

Data Collection None

The Extension does not collect any data whatsoever. Specifically:

No personal information is gathered (name, email, account details, etc.).
No browsing history or activity is recorded.
No cookies, tokens, or credentials are read or stored.
No analytics, telemetry, or tracking of any kind is used.

How the Extension Works

The Extension operates entirely within your browser tab on instagram.com. It:

Intercepts outgoing fetch() and XMLHttpRequest calls that match specific Instagram API patterns (/graphql/query and /api/v1/web/likes).
Displays a confirmation dialog showing the request URL and parameters so you can choose to Allow or Block the request.
If blocked, the request is silently cancelled and a harmless stub response is returned to the page.

All of this processing happens locally in the content script injected into the page. No request data is sent to any external server, third party, or remote endpoint operated by the Extension.

Permissions

The Extension requests no special browser permissions. It only uses a content script that runs on https://www.instagram.com/*.

Data Storage

The Extension does not use any form of local storage, cookies, IndexedDB, or any other persistence mechanism. It has no background service worker and retains no state between page loads.

Third-Party Services

The Extension does not integrate with, send data to, or receive data from any third-party services, APIs, or analytics platforms.

Changes to This Policy

If this privacy policy is updated, the changes will be reflected on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the Extension after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
