Not affiliated with Instagram

Followny is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or in any way officially connected with Instagram, Meta Platforms, Inc., or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates. "Instagram" and "Meta" are trademarks of Meta Platforms, Inc.

Public data only

Followny reads only publicly available information. It does not use logins, passwords, or access private accounts.

Not a consumer report (FCRA)

Information from Followny is not a consumer report under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act or any state consumer-reporting or "mini-FCRA" law (including the California ICRAA and CCRAA, the New York FCRA, and Vermont's Fair Credit Reporting statute), and must not be used for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or tenant decisions.

No stalking or harassment

Do not use Followny to stalk, harass, intimidate, surveil, locate, or approach any person. Followny is for informational use only.

No location or whereabouts

Followny does not provide any person's location, address, GPS coordinates, real-time whereabouts, or contact information, and cannot be used to physically locate anyone.

Third-party accounts

Followny reports only information that is already publicly visible on Instagram at the time of a check. Accounts you look up have not consented to and are not affiliated with Followny. Except for the limited automated estimate described below, Followny does not add, infer, or reveal any private, hidden, or non-public information about an account. That estimate is derived only from public profile context and is not hidden or verified account data. Inclusion of an account is not an endorsement by that account.

No biometrics; limited gender signal

Followny does not perform facial recognition or collect biometric identifiers. Relationship Orbit may use a public profile image, username, display name, and, when present in the captured profile input, bio to estimate a gender signal as female, male, or unknown. Low-confidence results are forced to unknown. The estimate may affect candidate composition, display order, or an Off Signal eligibility gate; it is not a verified fact, relationship probability, or relationship score, and it may be wrong. See our Privacy Policy for the threshold, snapshot pinning, retention, deletion, and correction details.

How images are shown

Followny does not maintain a general-purpose media archive. Publicly available profile images and thumbnails may be kept in limited preview form for the retention periods described in our Privacy Policy. Where you ask for a download, the underlying media is retrieved and passed through transiently rather than retained as a media library. Images may also be transmitted transiently to our automated classification provider for analysis. Content displayed or downloaded remains the property of its respective owners and is provided for your personal use.

Accuracy

Capture is partial and timing reflects when a change was detected at a check, not the exact moment it occurred. Provided AS-IS, at your own risk.
