1. Introduction

Welcome to FasterDown ("we", "our", "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit fasterdown.com.

  • We do not collect your Instagram username or password.
  • We do not store the media you download on our servers.
  • We do not sell your data to third parties.
  • We do not track your Instagram activity.

3. Information We May Collect

  • Usage data: Anonymous statistics such as the number of downloads, content types, and general geographic region (country-level only). This data is aggregated and cannot identify you personally.
