Privacy Policy
ReelDownloadr is built to need as little data as possible. There are no accounts, no advertising trackers and no analytics scripts on this site.
What happens when you paste a link
The link is sent to our server, which asks Instagram for that public post. The post's media details are kept in a temporary cache for about 15 minutes so repeat requests are fast, then deleted. Download links we create expire after one hour. Media files pass through our server to your browser and are not saved.
Information we keep
- Rate-limit records: a one-way hashed version of your IP address with request times, used only to stop abuse. Deleted within 24 hours.
- Error logs: when a lookup fails, the post's short code and the reason (for example "private") so we can fix problems. No IP addresses are written to these logs by our code.
- Server logs: our hosting provider (Hostinger) keeps standard web server access logs, which include IP addresses, for security and operations.
- Messages you send: if you use the contact or takedown form, we keep your name, email and message so we can reply.
Cookies
ReelDownloadr doesn't set cookies. Our hosting provider's network may use technical cookies or headers needed to deliver the site securely.
To fetch a post, our server contacts Instagram's servers. Instagram sees our server's request, not your Instagram account. We never ask for or receive your Instagram login.
Your choices
You can ask us to delete a message you sent through the contact form using the contact form.
