About GramFetch

Who GramFetch serves

Creators archiving their own catalogs, travellers saving inspiration boards, marketers reviewing client-owned public creative, NGO communicators repurposing sanctioned assets, academics citing screen evidence, multilingual families storing memories they have permission to keep—these personas share a baseline: transparency with rights-holders beats silent mass redistribution. Our UI text and step-by-step blog posts try to steer users toward ethically defensible motivations before they click Save.

Privacy-forward design philosophy

Unlike apps that imitate Instagram login pages, GramFetch never asks you to authenticate with Instagram credentials in our web form. That massively reduces phishing risk—you should suspect any third-party downloader that clones full username/password fields. Operational privacy details live in our privacy policy covering cookies where ads run plus security log retention horizons.

Transparency on advertising

Free infrastructure bandwidth is expensive. Responsible ads (chiefly programmatic placements through Google networks when live) help offset hosting—but we disallow categories that incentivize piracy glamorisation. See our disclaimer / editorial disclosures for how we align copy with advertiser program policies—including why we maintain thick policy pages reviewers can crawl.

How we evolve

Instagram changes frequently: URL shapes, carousel graph structures, ephemeral story TTL rules. GramFetch adjusts extraction logic and rewrites brittle sections of tutorials when testers flag drift. Readers who notice outdated wording are encouraged to email a short note via contact attaching the article slug—not just “it broke” screenshots but what device & OS version surfaced the mismatch expedites patching.

What GramFetch deliberately does NOT do

• Harvest private timelines or circumvent privacy controls imposed by creators.
• Guarantee permanence against third-party outages or CDN throttling anomalies.
• Provide legal counselling about fair use—you must vet reuse case-by-case locally.
