This policy applies to Instonic and all tools available on this website, including our Instagram story viewing tools, public profile tools, and related online features.
By using Instonic, you agree to the terms described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Who We Are
Instonic is an online tool website that helps users view publicly available Instagram-related content through a browser-based interface.
Our tools are designed for public content only. Instonic does not unlock private Instagram accounts, hidden stories, blocked content, restricted content, or content that requires approval from an Instagram account owner.

We do not ask for:

- Access to your Instagram account
- Permission to post, like, follow, or comment on your behalf
If any website claiming to be Instonic asks for your Instagram password, do not enter it.

4. Public Username Searches
When you enter an Instagram username into Instonic, we use that username to try to load publicly available content linked to that public profile.
A username search may be processed temporarily so the tool can return results.

- Display available public results
- Improve tool performance
- Detect spam or automated abuse
- Fix errors and loading issues
- Understand which tools are working properly
We do not claim ownership over any Instagram content shown through the tool. All content belongs to its original owner.

We do not sell Instagram usernames, passwords, private account data, or private user content.
