Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 3, 2026

Introduction

At CheckUnfollowers.com, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our Instagram unfollower checking tool. The key point: your Instagram data never leaves your browser.

Information We Collect

We do not collect, store, or have access to your Instagram data. When you upload your Instagram data export file, all processing happens entirely within your web browser using JavaScript. Your follower and following lists are never transmitted to our servers.

  • No Instagram login required - we never ask for your Instagram credentials
  • No server-side storage - your data stays on your device
  • Browser-only processing - all analysis happens locally
  • No account creation - you don't need to sign up to use our tool

How Your Data is Processed

When you upload your Instagram data export (ZIP file or link), our tool processes it entirely in your browser:

  • All parsing and analysis runs in your browser using client-side JavaScript
  • Results are stored in your browser's localStorage for convenience
  • No data is transmitted to any server
  • You have full control to clear this data anytime by clearing your browser data

Data Storage

Your Instagram data is temporarily stored only in your browser's localStorage. This data remains on your device and is never accessible to us. You can clear this data at any time by:

  • Clearing your browser's localStorage or site data
  • Using private/incognito browsing mode
  • Using your browser's developer tools to clear storage

Cookies & Tracking

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

  • Access - you can view localStorage data via browser developer tools
  • Deletion - clear your browser data to remove all stored information
  • Control - you decide whether to use our tool and store data locally
