Privacy information

Updated November 2, 2026

Looksee is independent of Instagram and Meta and does not request an Instagram password. Collected Instagram post data stays in the browser until the user chooses an action that needs the service. Downloads stay on the user's device. Clicking an on-page download can request the selected post’s ordinary Instagram permalink to resolve its full media. If Instagram defers media until rendering, Looksee briefly opens and closes an inactive, muted post tab. No private Instagram API is requested. On-page selections are kept in this Instagram tab’s session storage until cleared or the browsing session ends; saved bookmarks are kept in the extension’s local library. On-page photo downloads preserve the original image format; downloads from the workspace retain its JPEG conversion flow.

Google sign-in supplies the account identifier and email address. The account service stores account, subscription, usage and saved transcript records. When the user chooses hosted transcription, the selected audio or video is sent to the hosted service; temporary processing files are removed when processing finishes. For recovery, the service creates private daily database snapshots and retains the latest seven completed daily recovery points on the same host. A separate private full-server recovery archive is retained. Backups can contain account, subscription, usage and saved transcript records. Saved records do not have an automatic deletion schedule. Access and deletion requests go to getlooksee@gmail.com and require account verification.

Google provides sign-in, PayPal handles subscriptions, Enzonic hosts processing and storage, and Cloudflare provides HTTPS connectivity. The website is hosted by Base44, whose platform may process website usage and technical connection information. The extension does not send browsing history or collected captions to website analytics. Optional self-managed transcription can use a user-selected provider including OpenAI, with its own terms and charges.

Looksee uses data to provide and secure its research, transcription, account and billing features. It does not sell user data, use it for advertising, or use collected content to train AI models. Its use of user data follows the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including Limited Use requirements.

Link-in-bio editing was removed. Existing stored page records and public pages are preserved until removed at the verified owner's request.
