Privacy policy

StorySave (storysave.to) is dedicated to protecting your privacy and maintaining transparent data practices. This policy details how we process technical data, use cookies, and respect user privacy.

Information we collect

StorySave is a free browser-based utility that requires no registration, account creation, or login. We do not collect personally identifiable information (PII) such as full names, email addresses, phone numbers, or passwords. When you access the service, our servers temporarily process standard web technical headers transmitted by your browser (such as IP address, browser user-agent, operating system, and the public Instagram URL submitted for media resolution).

How information is used

Technical request data is utilized strictly for operational functions: • Resolving submitted public links to direct media streams and delivering files to your browser. • Maintaining infrastructure security, preventing automated denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, and optimizing response times. • Compiling anonymous, aggregated performance metrics to ensure browser and mobile compatibility.

Zero media storage policy

StorySave operates on a strict zero-storage architecture for third-party media files. We act solely as a technical proxy between your browser and public Instagram Content Delivery Network (CDN) servers. We do not host, store, archive, or replicate user-requested Stories, photos, or videos on our servers. Once the download stream is initiated, temporary session parameters are discarded immediately.

Cookies and browser preferences

Our website uses minimal local browser storage strictly to remember interface preferences (such as your chosen light or dark theme and language selection). You may clear or disable cookies and local storage through your browser settings at any time without restricting your ability to use StorySave.

Third-party advertising

To keep StorySave freely accessible worldwide without subscription fees, we may partner with reputable third-party advertising providers, including Google AdSense. • Third-party vendors use cookies to serve relevant ads based on visits to this and other websites across the Internet. • You can manage your personalized advertising preferences at any time via Google Ads Settings (https://adssettings.google.com) or industry opt-out portals like https://www.aboutads.info.

GDPR and global privacy rights

StorySave complies with international data protection standards, including GDPR and CCPA. Because we do not build user profiles or retain personal data, we never sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties. For any inquiries concerning data privacy, contact us at contact@storysave.to.

StorySave utilizes modern SSL/TLS encryption across all connections. If you have any questions or feedback regarding our privacy practices, please contact us at: contact@storysave.to.
