Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Asanex collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our Instagram ghost follower detection platform.

1. Information We Collect

When you connect your Instagram account through OAuth, we collect the following information:

• Follower Data: Lists of followers, following, and engagement metrics

All user data is securely stored in our database hosted on secure servers with encryption at rest and in transit. We implement industry-standard security measures including:

• End-to-end encryption for sensitive data
• Secure OAuth connections with Instagram
• Regular security audits and updates
• Access controls and authentication requirements
