No account, no profile
You don't sign up and we never ask for an Instagram login, so there is no profile of you to store.
What our servers see
Like any website, our servers see your IP address and the usernames you look up while handling the request. We use the IP only for rate limiting to keep bots out, and we don't keep a history of who searched for what.
What stays on your device
Your recent searches are saved in your own browser (localStorage) so you can tap them again. They never reach us. Clear them any time with the ✕ next to the list.
Instagram content
Photos and videos are streamed from Instagram when you open them and cached briefly to keep the site fast. We only show accounts that are public. Owners can have their account removed from Zeroseen. See Remove my account.
If you use the tracker
Signing in stores your email address and a sign-in cookie. Sign-in codes are sent by our login provider, Neon.
We store the accounts you track and copies of their public stories in private storage that only you (and others tracking the same account) can open. Stories are deleted after 30 days. Untracking an account deletes it from your list, and the saved stories are removed once nobody tracks it.
To delete your tracker account and email, send a request through the contact page.
When you send a removal, copyright or contact request, we keep your email and message to reply, plus a one-way hash of your IP address to stop spam. To keep lookups free for everyone, we also count lookups per hashed IP for one day, then delete the count.
