Privacy Policy
The short version
- AlgoMe processes an Instagram data export that you select.
- All processing happens locally on your device.
- Your export and the analytics generated from it are never uploaded to AlgoMe servers. There are no AlgoMe servers.
- No account is required.
- No analytics, advertising or tracking SDKs are used.
- AlgoMe does not sell or share your data.
- The temporary working copy of your export is deleted once processing finishes.
What AlgoMe processes
AlgoMe works on the official data export that Instagram provides to you. You request that export inside the Instagram app, Meta sends you a ZIP file, and you choose that file in AlgoMe. AlgoMe reads only the small activity files inside it, which describe things such as the Reels and posts you were shown, the posts you liked and saved, the accounts you follow, and the captions and hashtags attached to that content. Photos and videos in the export are not read.
Where processing happens
Entirely on your device. AlgoMe opens the ZIP file locally, reads the activity files, and builds your report in the app. The app makes no network requests of its own — it does not transmit your export, your report, or any part of either to anyone.
When you choose your export, iOS places a working copy of the file in AlgoMe's private storage on your device so the app can read it. That copy stays on your device, is not accessible to other apps, and is never transmitted. AlgoMe deletes it as soon as processing finishes, whether the analysis succeeded or failed. The original file you selected — in Files, iCloud Drive or wherever you keep it — is never modified or removed.
What AlgoMe does not do
- It does not require or offer an account, and it does not ask for your Instagram password or connect to your Instagram account.
- It does not upload your export or your report anywhere.
- It does not include analytics, advertising, attribution, crash-reporting or tracking software of any kind.
- It does not sell, rent, share or disclose your data to third parties.
- It does not track you across apps or websites, and it displays no advertising.
Retention
AlgoMe does not keep your report. It exists in the app's memory while you are looking at it and is discarded when the app closes. Nothing is synced, backed up to AlgoMe, or retained by the developer, because none of it ever leaves your device.
Apple and the App Store
Apple may collect its own standard App Store and device information — for example download statistics or crash diagnostics if you have opted in to share them with developers. That collection is governed by Apple's privacy policy, happens outside AlgoMe, and is not something AlgoMe controls or adds to. It never includes the contents of your Instagram export.
Children
AlgoMe is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly process data from them.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Material changes will be reflected in the app's release notes.
