Introduction

EagleReels ("we", "our", or "the extension") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our Chrome extension handles data when you use it to monitor Instagram Reels performance.

Data Collection

What Data We Collect

EagleReels collects the following data only from publicly available Instagram pages:

  • Instagram Reels metadata (video ID, URL, thumbnail)
  • Public performance metrics (views, likes, comments counts)
  • Public account information (username, follower count)
  • Timestamps of data collection

What Data We DO NOT Collect

  • Your personal information
  • Your Instagram login credentials
  • Your browsing history outside of Instagram
  • Any private or non-public Instagram content
  • Any data from your Instagram account
  • Analytics or tracking data about your usage

Data Storage

Local Storage Only

All collected data is stored exclusively in your browser's local storage using Chrome's chrome.storage.local API. This means:

  • Data never leaves your device
  • No data is transmitted to external servers
  • No data is shared with third parties
  • No cloud storage or remote databases are used

Data You Control

You have complete control over your data:

  • View all stored data through the extension interface
  • Export data as HTML reports
  • Delete all data at any time using the "Reset All Data" button
  • Uninstalling the extension removes all stored data

Permissions Explained
