Privacy Policy

1. Information We Do NOT Collect

FastDL is engineered with privacy as a foundational principle. When using our core download utility, we do not:

• Require you to register or create an account; • Ask for or store your Instagram password, session tokens, or login credentials; • Permanently store, archive, or retain copies of the media files (videos, photos, Reels, Stories, or Highlights) you download; • Associate submitted Instagram links with an identified individual user profile.

2. Technical Information Collected Automatically

When you access FastDL, standard technical data is collected automatically by our servers and edge delivery network (including Cloudflare) for operational, performance, and security purposes:

• Network and security logs: IP addresses, browser user-agent strings, request timestamps, and referring URLs, processed to detect and mitigate malicious traffic, DDoS attacks, automated scraping, and abuse; • Device and browser metrics: Operating system, device category, screen resolution, and language settings; • Aggregated usage analytics: Page visits, interaction metrics, and error rates to monitor service availability and optimize performance.

3. Information You Voluntarily Provide

If you reach out to us directly (for instance, via support email), we receive the contact details you provide (such as your email address) along with the content of your message. This data is utilized solely to address and resolve your specific inquiry and is never sold or repurposed for commercial marketing.

4. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising

FastDL utilizes cookies and similar local storage technologies to maintain core website preferences (such as Dark/Light theme settings) and support third-party advertising and analytics services:

• Third-Party Advertising Providers: We may partner with advertising networks such as Google AdSense. Third-party advertising and analytics providers may collect information such as cookie identifiers, device identifiers, IP addresses, browsing activity, and interactions with advertisements, subject to their own privacy policies and your consent choices where required by law; • Ad Customization & Opt-Out: Google uses cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on user visits to this and other websites. You may manage or opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or via cross-industry opt-out portals including AboutAds Choices and the Network Advertising Initiative; • Browser Controls: You can adjust your browser settings to refuse or delete cookies. Note that disabling cookies may affect certain non-essential interface preferences.

5. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA / UK GDPR)

For individuals located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom (UK), our legal bases for processing personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) include:

• Legitimate Interests: Operating, securing, and maintaining the stability and security of our Service, preventing fraudulent traffic, and analyzing aggregate performance; • Consent: Where required by applicable law, we rely on your explicit consent for the deployment of non-essential advertising and analytics cookies; • Service Fulfillment: Processing the requested Instagram URL in real time to locate and provide the media download stream you requested.

6. California and US State Privacy Disclosures (CCPA / CPRA)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the CPRA and similar US state privacy laws:

• No Sale of Personal Data: We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration; • Targeted Advertising / "Sharing": The use of third-party advertising cookies and analytics tools may constitute "sharing" of personal information or "targeted advertising" under certain state regulations. Eligible residents have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information for targeted advertising via the opt-out mechanisms described in Section 4.

7. Third-Party Infrastructure and Instagram Delivery

To provide download functionality, FastDL retrieves public media information directly from Instagram's content delivery servers. Your interaction with Instagram's infrastructure via the URLs you submit remains subject to Instagram's Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. FastDL is an independent service and does not control the privacy practices of Meta Platforms, Inc. or any third-party content provider.

8. Data Retention

Because FastDL does not maintain user accounts or permanently store downloaded media, no persistent user media archives exist on our systems. Temporary technical and security logs generated during server requests are retained only for a limited operational window (typically 30 to 90 days) for security monitoring and audit purposes, after which they are automatically purged or anonymized.

9. Data Security and International Transfers

We implement industry-standard administrative and technical safeguards (including SSL/TLS encryption across all endpoints) to protect data transmitted to and from our Service. As FastDL operates globally via distributed cloud infrastructure, technical data may be processed on servers located outside your home jurisdiction, utilizing recognized data transfer mechanisms and contractual safeguards.

10. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (such as under the GDPR, UK GDPR, or applicable US state laws), you may have specific rights regarding your personal information: (a) The right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data we hold about you; (b) The right to object to or request restriction of certain processing activities; (c) The right to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent; (d) The right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.

To submit a request regarding your privacy rights, contact us at support@fastdl.io. Given that FastDL does not require accounts or store personal profiles, verification of requests may require providing relevant technical context.

11. Children's Privacy

FastDL is a general-audience website and is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the minimum legal age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please notify us at support@fastdl.io so we can promptly take corrective action.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may periodically revise this Privacy Policy to reflect technological updates, operational practices, or evolving legal obligations. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates the effective date of the latest revisions. We encourage users to check this page periodically.
