Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how GrowReal collects, uses, stores, and protects your information when you use the GrowReal Chrome Extension and our website (the “Service”).

Last Updated: 5 December 2025

GrowReal (“we”, “our”, “us”) operates the GrowReal Chrome Extension and the GrowReal website (the “Service”). By using GrowReal, you agree to the terms described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Do NOT Collect

GrowReal is a no-login, no-password, no-API access automation tool. We do not collect or store:

  • Instagram username or password
  • Instagram login tokens
  • Messages, conversations, or personal data from Instagram
  • Browsing history
  • Any private data from your social media accounts
  • Any personal data not explicitly provided by you

We do not monitor, record, or store any user activities outside the GrowReal extension interface.

2. Information We Collect

We only collect the minimum information required to operate our Service.

A. Information you provide directly

  • Email address
  • Payment information (processed securely by a third-party provider like Stripe)
  • Subscription details
  • Contact messages or support requests

We do not store credit card numbers. All billing is handled by secure PCI-compliant payment processors.

B. Local device storage (saved on your computer only)

GrowReal stores certain data locally in your browser, not on our servers:

  • Auto-DM templates
  • Engagement settings
  • Scraped audience lists
  • Extension preferences
  • Custom tones/personality presets

This data never leaves your device unless you export it yourself.

3. How GrowReal Works

For clarity (including Chrome Web Store requirements), GrowReal:

  • Runs fully inside your Chrome browser
  • Interacts only with pages you manually open on Instagram
  • Executes automation locally, not on external servers
  • Requires only limited permissions such as activeTab, scripting, storage, and host permissions for instagram.com

GrowReal does not use hidden APIs or backend servers to collect Instagram data.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the minimal data we collect to:

  • Provide access to your subscription
  • Offer customer support
  • Improve the Service
  • Send onboarding and product update emails
  • Prevent abuse or misuse of the Service

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.

5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

GrowReal does not use:

  • Tracking cookies
  • Behavioral advertising scripts
  • Third-party analytics that monitor your browsing across websites

We only use essential cookies on the website for basic functionality.

6. Data Sharing & Third-Party Services

We may share limited data only with:

A. Payment processors

(e.g., Stripe, Paddle) – Used only to handle subscriptions securely.

B. Customer support tools

Used only if you contact us for help, in order to respond to your request.

C. Legal compliance

We may disclose information if required to:

  • Protect our rights
  • Comply with applicable law
  • Respond to legal processes

We never sell user data.

7. Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including:

  • Encryption where applicable
  • Secure data storage
  • HTTPS across the website
  • No storage of sensitive login information

Your Instagram usage remains private because the extension does not transmit or store it on our servers.

8. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access your data
  • Correct inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Opt-out from non-essential emails
  • Export your local extension data (manual export from your device)

For data deletion or export requests, please contact us using the details below.

9. Children’s Privacy

GrowReal is not intended for individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. Where appropriate, we may also notify you via email or within the Service.
