1. Overview
InstaPin ("we", "our", or "us") is a bookmark manager app that lets you save, organise, and sync pins across your devices. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it.
We collect only what is necessary to provide the service. We do not sell your data, show you ads, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.
2. Information We Collect
When you create an account and use InstaPin, we collect:
- Email address — used to create your account and send a one-time verification email.
- Username — a unique identifier you choose when registering.
- Display name and bio — optional profile fields you may fill in.
- Pins — the URLs, titles, notes, and tags you save.
- Collections — the groups you organise your pins into.
We do not collect location data, contacts, payment information, advertising identifiers, crash reports, or any analytics beyond what is needed to run the service.
3. How We Use Your Information
- To create and manage your account.
- To sync your pins and collections across your devices.
- To send you a one-time email verification when you register.
- To respond to support requests if you contact us.
We do not use your data for profiling, targeted advertising, or automated decision-making.
4. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored on secure servers hosted by our cloud hosting providers. Passwords are hashed using bcrypt and are never stored or transmitted in plain text. All data in transit is encrypted using TLS.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse.
5. Data Retention
Your data is retained for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account through the app, all your personal data — including your profile, pins, and collections — is permanently and irreversibly deleted from our servers.
6. Sharing of Information
We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties, except:
- Cloud hosting providers — used solely to host and operate the service.
- Email delivery providers — used solely to send the one-time account verification email. No marketing emails are sent.
- Legal requirements — if required by law or to protect our rights.
7. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate data via the app's profile settings.
- Delete your account and all associated data at any time from within the app.
- Export your data — contact us and we will provide it in a readable format.
8. Children's Privacy
InstaPin is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
