Privacy
policy.

01What we collect

Nothing. BETTERFEED has no backend infrastructure. It does not contact any external server. It cannot — there is no network code in the extension.

Specifically, BETTERFEED does not collect:

• Personal information (name, email, address, phone, etc.)
• Authentication info or session tokens
• Browsing history or page contents
• Your Instagram account, username, posts, DMs, or any feed data
• Usage analytics, crash reports, or telemetry
• Cookies, fingerprints, or device identifiers
• Any data about you, ever, at all

02Where settings are stored

Your three toggle preferences — Grayscale, Blur media, and No autoplay — are stored locally in chrome.storage.local on your device. They are accessible only to the BETTERFEED extension, on your machine. Removing the extension deletes them.

03Permissions, explained

When you install BETTERFEED, Chrome asks you to grant a small set of permissions. Here is what each one is for and why we need it:

• Access to instagram.com: required to inject a stylesheet (grayscale + blur) and a tiny script (autoplay prevention) into the page. The extension does nothing on any other site.
• storage: required so your toggle preferences persist across page reloads.

That's the entire permission set. BETTERFEED requests no host permissions for any other domain.

04Third parties

None. BETTERFEED does not embed any third-party SDKs, analytics libraries, advertising scripts, fonts, or tracking pixels.

Instagram itself, of course, has its own privacy practices — BETTERFEED runs on top of Instagram in your browser, but does not change or interact with Meta's data collection. We recommend reviewing Instagram's privacy policy separately if that's a concern.

05Children

BETTERFEED is a content-modification tool for an existing service (Instagram). It does not collect any data from any user, regardless of age. We do not knowingly do anything with children's data because we do not do anything with anyone's data.

06Changes to this policy

If this policy ever changes, the "Last updated" date above will change too. Substantive changes — for example, if BETTERFEED ever began sending any data anywhere — would be announced in the extension itself before they took effect.
