Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 26, 2026

RateMyInsta (“we,” “our,” or “us”) values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website.

1. Who We Are (And What We’re Not)

Welcome to RateMyInsta. We review Instagram accounts like editors, not algorithms.

We are not:

• a data broker
• a shadowy tracking machine
• or a company trying to figure out what you ate for breakfast

We are just here to analyze content, not your personal life.

2. What We Collect (Spoiler: Not Much)

When you visit the site, we collect some basic technical info like:

• anonymized or hashed IP address
• browser type
• device type
• pages visited
• time spent on the site

This happens through privacy-friendly analytics. Translation: we see patterns, not people.

Information You Provide

If you:

• contact us
• subscribe to our newsletter
• send us your account for review
• sign up for an account

We may receive things like your email address.

Translation: if you send us something, we obviously see it. We’re not psychic.

What We Don’t Collect

We do not collect:

• sensitive personal data
• financial info
• health data
• your deepest insecurities about your Instagram feed

(Those are between you and your camera roll.)

3. About IP Addresses (Let’s Be Clear)

We do not store full IP addresses in a way that identifies you.

Any IP-related data is:

• anonymized
• hashed

Translation: even if we wanted to track you personally, we couldn’t. And we don’t want to.

4. Why We Collect Data

We use data to:

• understand what content works
• improve the site
• keep things running smoothly
• prevent spam or abuse

We do not:

• sell your data
• profile you like a creepy ad network
• build dossiers about your scrolling habits

5. Cookies (Yes, Those Things)

We use cookies, but not in a “follow you across the internet forever” way.

Mostly for:

• basic functionality
• analytics
• remembering preferences

You can disable them. The site won’t cry about it.

6. Third Parties (The Necessary Evil)

Some services help run this site, hosting, analytics, etc. They may process limited data, but only to make the site work.

Translation: they’re helpers, not spies.

7. Your Rights (Because It’s Your Data)

If you’re in the EU, you can:

• request your data
• correct it
• delete it
• object to processing

Just contact us and we’ll handle it like adults. If you ask us to delete something, we will.

8. Data Retention (We Don’t Hoard)

We keep data:

• only as long as necessary
• not “just in case we need it in 2047”

9. Security (We Try, Obviously)

We use reasonable measures to protect your data. But let’s be real: no system is 100% bulletproof.

The internet is still… the internet.

10. Links to Other Sites

We link to other websites. What they do with your data is their business, not ours. So yeah… click responsibly.

11. Children

This site is not aimed at children. If you’re under 16, maybe go outside. Or at least touch some grass.

12. Changes To This Policy

We may update this policy. If something major changes, we won’t hide it in size 8 gray (#212121) text.
