Privacy Policy

Welcome to TikInsta ("we," "our," or "us"), accessible at https://tikinsta.net. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights in relation to that information when you use our service.

By using TikInsta, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of our service.

1. Information We Collect

TikInsta does not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to use our downloader service. We do not collect your name, email address, or social media credentials.

However, like most websites, our servers may automatically collect certain technical data when you visit, including:

• IP address — used for security monitoring and abuse prevention
• Browser type and version — to ensure compatibility
• Device and operating system — for performance optimization
• Pages visited and time spent — to understand usage patterns
• Referring URLs — to understand how users find our site
• URLs submitted for processing — processed in real time and not stored beyond the session

2. How We Use Your Information

The information collected is used solely to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the TikInsta service
• Detect and prevent abuse, spam, or excessive automated usage
• Monitor server performance and troubleshoot technical issues
• Analyse aggregate, anonymised usage statistics

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

3. Cookies and Local Storage

TikInsta uses minimal cookies and local storage. Specifically:

• Theme preference— we store your light/dark mode choice in your browser's local storage so it persists between visits. No server-side data is saved for this purpose.

We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking cookies, or third-party behavioural tracking. If third-party analytics or advertising services are added in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly.

4. Third-Party Platforms

TikInsta processes URLs from third-party platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and SoundCloud. We act solely as a technical intermediary. The media content we help retrieve belongs to and is served from those respective platforms. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any of these platforms.

These third-party platforms have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. TikInsta is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party service.

5. Data Retention

TikInsta does not store video files, audio files, or thumbnails on our servers. All downloaded content is streamed directly to your browser. Server access logs may be retained for up to 30 days for security and diagnostic purposes, after which they are automatically deleted.

URLs submitted by users are processed in memory in real time and are not permanently stored in any database.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our service operates over HTTPS to encrypt data in transit. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children's Privacy

TikInsta is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at admin@tikinsta.net and we will promptly remove such information.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access any personal data we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your personal data
• Object to or restrict the processing of your personal data
• Lodge a complaint with a relevant data protection authority

Since TikInsta does not collect identifiable personal data during normal use, most of these rights may not apply. For any data-related enquiries, please contact us at admin@tikinsta.net.

9. Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to external sites. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies independently.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
