IGnony is built around the idea that an Instagram Story Viewer should not turn its own users into a product. We do not store the @usernames you search, we do not host the media we display, and we do not have an IGnony account system that ties activity to your identity.
You can use IGnony fully anonymously, every visit, without ever telling us who you are.
IGnony processes the @username or profile URL you submit through the search bar to fetch publicly available Instagram content. That input is processed in flight on our server and is not written to any persistent database.
Like any web service, our servers and CDN provider log basic technical metadata for each request: timestamp, IP address, user-agent string, and the URL path. This is standard and is used only for abuse prevention, rate limiting, error monitoring, and security auditing. These logs rotate out automatically.
We do not use third-party analytics that profile individual users. We do not run advertising trackers, fingerprinters, or cross-site cookies. There is no IGnony account, so there is no profile of your activity to build.
When you search a public Instagram @username, IGnony makes an anonymous server-side request to publicly available Instagram endpoints. The response is parsed and rendered in your browser. We do not store the photos, videos, or profile data we display — every item is fetched fresh on demand and discarded when the request finishes.
Connections between your browser and IGnony are end-to-end SSL encrypted. Connections between IGnony and Instagram's public endpoints are encrypted by Instagram.
IGnony uses no tracking cookies. We do not set marketing cookies, advertising cookies, or analytics cookies. The only browser storage IGnony may use is functional — for example, your language preference — and only if absolutely necessary to keep the site usable.
IGnony is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has interacted with IGnony in a way that requires our attention, please contact us at privacy@ignony.com and we will respond promptly.
Because IGnony does not maintain user accounts or persistent personal profiles, the practical scope of access / deletion requests is narrow: any rotating server log entries that may have been associated with your IP for a brief window. You can email privacy@ignony.com with a request and we will respond within applicable legal timelines.
IGnony is hosted on standard cloud infrastructure. Those providers may process technical metadata (IP, user-agent) to operate their networks. They do not have access to anything we would call personal data because we do not collect personal data.
IGnony is not affiliated with Instagram or Meta Platforms, Inc. All Instagram media displayed through IGnony belongs to its original creators, fetched live from Instagram's public endpoints, and discarded the moment it reaches your browser.
If we update this policy, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a revised effective date. Material changes will be highlighted on the homepage for a period of time after publication.
