Privacy Policy

1. Overview & Commitment

At StealReel (accessible via stealreel.com), we value your privacy and transparency above all else. This Privacy Policy details how we handle information when you access or interact with our public Instagram downloader service.

StealReel is built strictly as a client-side utility for accessing publicly available content. We do not operate user accounts, do not require registration, and do not track browsing activities across the web.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

• Instagram Credentials: We never request, collect, or store your Instagram password, two-factor authentication codes, or session cookies.
• Personal Identifiable Information (PII): We do not ask for your real name, physical address, phone number, or payment details.
• Downloaded Files: Videos, Reels, audio, or images you download are transferred directly to your local device storage and are not maintained in any permanent repository on our servers.

3. Information We Process Automatically

To successfully fulfill your request to analyze and download a public post or reel, our backend microservice receives:

• The Submitted URL: The Instagram web address you paste into the input field to locate public video streams.
• Standard Server Telemetry: Standard diagnostic data transmitted by your browser, such as IP address, browser type, device operating system, referring URL, and timestamp. This data is utilized solely for rate limiting, DDoS defense, and infrastructure stability.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

StealReel does not employ persistent tracking cookies or commercial ad-tracking pixels. We may use standard browser local storage solely to retain your client-side preferences locally on your device.

5. Third-Party Infrastructure & Hosting

Our services are deployed across industry-standard cloud providers. These providers manage network security and transport encryption (TLS/HTTPS) according to their respective privacy and compliance standards.

6. Children's Privacy

StealReel is not targeted at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal data from children. If you believe any minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may periodically update our Privacy Policy to reflect technical improvements or legal requirements. Any modifications will be posted directly to this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
