Privacy
Your data stays yours
The short version: True Followers has no server that stores your data. Everything is processed inside your browser. We never see your follower list, never ask for your password, and nothing is ever uploaded.
What we process
The only thing you give us is your own official Instagram data export (a ZIP, JSON, or HTML file you download from Instagram). It's read and compared entirely in your browser — it never travels to any server, ours or anyone else's.
What's stored on your device
A couple of things are saved locally, only in this browser, and never sent anywhere:
- Your theme choice (light/dark) — in
localStorage. - Snapshots you save for the unfollower tracker — in your browser's IndexedDB. You can delete them anytime, or export them as a backup file you control.
Clearing your browser's site data removes all of it.
What we don't do
- No accounts, no ads, no cookies, no cross-site tracking or profiling.
- The only thing we measure is anonymous, cookieless page-view counts (via Vercel Web Analytics) — it never sees your Instagram data and never identifies you.
- We never sell or share your data — it never leaves your device, so there's nothing to sell.
Not affiliated with Instagram
True Followers is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Instagram or Meta. We never log into or contact Instagram on your behalf — you only use the official data export you download from Instagram yourself.
