1. Respect for creators

StoriesDL respects the rights of photographers, videographers, creators, and other rights holders. The Service is intended for lawful personal use, such as saving your own content or content you have permission to use.

We do not host Instagram media on our servers. We provide a technical proxy to files that Instagram's public content delivery network already serves to logged-out visitors. Media is streamed and is not retained by us.

2. Our role and limitations

Because we do not store media, a takedown request directed at us cannot remove a file from Instagram's servers. If content is no longer public, deleted, or made private on Instagram, our Service will not be able to retrieve it. We can, however, block specific post codes or usernames from resolving through our Service.

3. Reporting infringement

If you believe your copyright is being infringed through the Service, send a notice to [email protected] with the subject line "Copyright notice". A complete notice should include:

A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
Identification of the copyrighted work or works claimed to be infringed.
Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, including the specific Instagram URL or post shortcode and enough information for us to locate it.
Your email address, so we can reply.
A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

4. What we do with a notice

We review complete notices and, where appropriate, add the identified post code or username to our blocklist so the content cannot be resolved through the Service. We may also request clarification or additional information. We may notify the affected user where required and appropriate.

Incomplete notices may be returned so they can be completed. Knowingly submitting a materially false notice may expose you to liability under applicable law.

5. Counter-notification

If you believe your content was blocked in error, you may send a counter-notification to [email protected]. Include your contact details, identification of the blocked material, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court. We will evaluate valid counter-notices in accordance with applicable law.

6. Repeat infringers

We maintain a blocklist and may restrict access to the Service for users or content associated with repeated infringement. Because the Service does not have accounts, enforcement is primarily applied at the content and network level.

7. Other rights

Rights holders may also send a notice to [email protected] describing the applicable law and the material at issue. Reports involving privacy, publicity, harassment, or other unlawful content go to the same address.
