Privacy Policy
Meta provides statistical information about the usage of the Instagram profile to us as the operator. Detailed information is available at the following link: https://help.instagram.com/1533933820244654.The data collected about you in this context is processed by Meta and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union. Meta describes in general terms what information it receives and how it is used in its data usage policies. You can also find information about contacting Meta and settings for advertisements there. The data usage policies are available at: https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875.
Meta has not clearly and conclusively disclosed how it uses data from visits to Instagram profiles for its own purposes, to what extent activities on the Instagram profile are assigned to individual users, how long Meta stores this data, or whether data from a visit to the Meta page is passed on to third parties. When accessing an Instagram profile, the IP address assigned to your device is transmitted to Meta. According to Meta, this IP address is anonymized (for "German" IP addresses). Meta also stores information about its users' devices (e.g., as part of the "login notification" function); Meta may be able to assign IP addresses to individual users. If you are currently logged in to Instagram as a user, a cookie with your Instagram ID is stored on your device. This enables Meta to track that you have visited this page and how you have used it. This also applies to all other Meta pages. Meta can track your visits to these website pages and assign them to your Instagram profile through Meta buttons embedded in websites. Based on this data, content or advertisements can be tailored to you.
If you want to avoid this, you should log out of Meta or deactivate the "stay logged in" function, delete the cookies present on your device, and restart your browser. This will delete Meta information that can directly identify you. This way, you can use our Instagram profile without revealing your Instagram ID. If you access interactive features of the page (like, comment, share, messages, etc.), an Instagram login screen will appear. After logging in, Meta will recognize you as a specific user again. Information on how to manage or delete information about you can be found on the following Instagram Support page: https://help.instagram.com/1533933820244654.
