What TapThru can and cannot do with your Instagram account

The permissions it asks for

Permission	What it allows
instagram_business_basicNeeded	Reading your profile and your posts.
instagram_business_manage_insightsOptional	Reading the reach, saves and shares of your posts. Without it, everything else works and those numbers stay empty.

What it reads

• Your profile: username, name, account type and profile picture, refreshed once a day.
• Your posts: their pictures or video covers, captions, types, dates, addresses on Instagram, and like and comment counts. New posts are checked for about every 30 minutes.
• With the insights permission: the reach, saves and shares of posts from the last 30 days, refreshed once a day.

What it keeps

• A scaled-down copy of each post's picture and of your profile picture, so your page stays fast and keeps working after Instagram's own picture links expire.
• The access token Instagram hands over, encrypted.
• The links you add, and daily counts of page views and taps, without anything that identifies a visitor.

What it never does

• Post, comment, like, follow or send messages.
• Read your messages or the list of your followers.
• Change your profile, your bio or your posts.
• Ask for your Instagram password.

While Meta reviews the app

Until Meta has reviewed TapThru's app, only Instagram accounts invited as testers can connect. Write to hello@tapthru.link for an invite, then accept it in Instagram under Settings, Apps and websites, Tester invites.

Disconnecting and deleting

• Disconnect whenever you like on the Instagram connection page of your dashboard. Syncing stops and the access token is deleted at once; your page keeps the posts, pictures and links it already has.
• Connecting a different Instagram account deletes everything imported from the previous one: its posts, their pictures, their links and their click counts.
• To delete your organization with everything in it, write to hello@tapthru.link.

How TapThru handles your data as a whole is in the privacy policy, and more answers are in the questions and answers.
