Unfolks

Privacy policy

Effective date: October 21, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information Unfolks (“we”, “our” or “us”) handles, and how, when you use the Unfolks Chrome extension and this website.

1. What the extension reads

The extension reads information that Instagram already shows you while you are signed in:

  • Your Instagram name, username, and profile photo address
  • The accounts you follow, including their names, usernames, photos, and whether they follow you back
  • Your settings: sort and filter choices, scan and unfollow speed, accounts you hide from the list, and the time of your last scan
  • The progress of a scan that stopped partway, so you can resume it
  • If you use the data file option: the followers and following files from your Instagram data download, which are read in the panel and not stored

The extension never asks for your Instagram password. It uses the session already open in your browser.

2. Where it is stored

Scan results, your profile details, hidden accounts, and settings stay on your computer, in the extension's local storage. The progress of a stopped scan is kept for up to 24 hours and then removed. Files from your Instagram data download are compared in the panel and are never uploaded or saved. Nothing is synced to other devices, and we run no server that receives your Instagram data.

3. How it is used

  • To show the accounts that don't follow you back
  • To show your name and photo in the panel
  • To unfollow the accounts you choose, at the pace you set
  • To wait before trying again when Instagram limits requests, and to resume a scan that stopped partway

4. Crash reports

If the extension runs into an error, a crash report may be sent to Sentry (Functional Software, Inc.) so the problem can be fixed. A report can include the error message, browser version, and extension version. It is not used for advertising. This is the only information the extension sends anywhere other than Instagram.

5. Sharing your information

We do not sell your data, share it for advertising, or use it for any purpose other than the extension's single purpose.

6. This website

This website uses Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to count visits and see which pages are read. Google Analytics sets its own cookies (such as _ga) for this. See how Google uses data from sites that use its services.

The site also sets one functional cookie, rps-promo-closed, to remember that you dismissed a promotional banner. It expires after one day and contains no personal information.

7. Your choices

  • Remove the extension's stored data by uninstalling it, or by clearing its data in your browser settings.
  • You can stop using or uninstall the extension at any time.
  • You can block or clear this website's cookies from your browser settings.

8. Instagram

Instagram is operated by Meta. Unfolks is not affiliated with Meta. Instagram's terms and privacy policy apply to your Instagram account.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we change the effective date above.
