INSTANTSELECT

This Privacy Policy explains what information the instantSelect browser extension handles, why, where it goes, how long it is kept and what rights you have. instantSelect is made by Rayyan Burondkar, an individual trading as LoopBoard, of Dapoli, District Ratnagiri, Maharashtra, India (“LoopBoard”, “we”, “us” or “our”), who is responsible (the “controller”) for the information described here, including license and support information. Dodo Payments is independently responsible for the payment, tax and fraud-prevention information it collects, under its own privacy policy. Cloudflare provides hosting, network and security services for our website and license server, and may process technical information such as IP addresses in providing those services. This policy forms part of our License Agreement. For the LoopBoard app and the rest of theloopboard.com, see the LoopBoard Privacy Policy.

1. The short version

• instantSelect does not require an account and has no analytics, no advertising, no tracking and no crash reporting. Dodo Payments keeps a customer and purchase record for payment processing, tax, fraud prevention, refunds and legal obligations (see section 7).
• The links you collect are stored only in your browser. We never receive them.
• The only internet requests instantSelect itself makes are license checks with our payment provider and our own license server. Update checks are made by your browser and its extension store, under their own privacy policies.
• Send to LoopBoard only talks to the LoopBoard app on your own computer. instantSelect never sends your collected links to us or to anyone else.
• We do not sell or rent your information or use it for advertising. We share it only as described in section 10.

2. Information stored on your device

instantSelect keeps the following in your browser’s extension storage, on your device only. It is not synced to other devices and is never sent to us:

What	Why
The links you collect, with each post’s type (reel, video or carousel), the creator’s username when it is shown on the post, the Instagram page you added it from, and the time you added it	To show and manage your list, and so you can copy it or send it to LoopBoard
Your current multi-select selection and its numbering	So your picks are kept while you move around Instagram
The last action you can undo	For the Undo button
Your settings (on/off, mode, carousels, uncertain posts, Reels player buttons)	To remember your choices
Your license key, this browser’s activation ID, the signed license pass from our server, the license status and the dates it was last checked	To confirm your license and keep working offline for up to 7 days
Whether an update is waiting, and the time of the last “still active here” check (cleared when you close the browser)	To show update notices and avoid checking too often

You can delete your list at any time with Clear list. Uninstalling instantSelect deletes everything it has stored.

3. What instantSelect reads on Instagram

instantSelect runs only on instagram.com and on no other website. On the Instagram page you are viewing, it reads:

• the address of the page and the addresses of links to posts,
• the size and position of posts, images and videos, and the small type icons on post tiles, so it can tell reels and videos from photos and place its buttons,
• the creator’s username shown on a post or reel, so your list is easier to read.

It does not read your messages, comments, account details, passwords, cookies, browsing history or anything on other websites. It does not use Instagram’s private interfaces, does not act on your account, and does not send anything it reads on Instagram anywhere.

4. License checks

instantSelect contacts two services to check your license: our payment provider, Dodo Payments (live.dodopayments.com), and our own license server (api.theloopboard.com, with a backup address at workers.dev, both hosted by Cloudflare).

When	What is sent, and to whom
You activate a license	Your license key and a label such as “instantSelect · Chrome on Windows”, to Dodo Payments. Your license key and this browser’s activation ID, to our server, which confirms them with Dodo Payments.
About once a day while you use instantSelect	Your license key and this browser’s activation ID, to Dodo Payments and to our server.
When you open Instagram, about every 10 minutes while Instagram is open, and when you open the instantSelect menu	Your license key and this browser’s activation ID, to our server only, to check that this browser still holds the license.
You move your license to a new browser	Your license key, to our server, which asks Dodo Payments to deactivate the previous browser.
You deactivate this browser	Your license key and this browser’s activation ID, to Dodo Payments.

As with any internet request, Dodo Payments, Cloudflare and our server also receive your IP address and basic technical information your browser sends with every request.

What our license server stores

• An activation record: a scrambled (salted and hashed) fingerprint of your license key, never the key itself, together with the activation ID of the browser currently holding the license and the time it was recorded. This is what makes “one browser at a time” work. It is deleted automatically about 13 months after it was last recorded.
• Temporary counters that limit moves (3 per license per 24 hours) and activations per network, stored under scrambled versions of your license key and IP address. They are deleted after 24 hours.

We do not keep request logs on our server, and it stores nothing else. It never receives your links, your Instagram activity or your browsing. Cloudflare, which runs our server, may process limited technical information such as IP addresses for security and to operate its network, under its own privacy policy.

5. Send to LoopBoard

When you click the Send to LoopBoard button, instantSelect sends the links in your list, together with instantSelect’s name and version number, to the LoopBoard app on the same computer over a local connection to 127.0.0.1. This connection never leaves your device, and nothing is sent to us or to anyone else. If the LoopBoard app is not open, nothing is sent. What the LoopBoard app then does with the links, including downloading them, is covered by the LoopBoard Privacy Policy.

6. Other features

• Copy all places your links on your device’s clipboard. Nothing is sent anywhere.
• Check for updates asks your browser’s extension store whether a newer version exists. That request is made by your browser under the store’s own privacy policy.
• Report a problem opens a draft email in your own email app, pre-filled with your instantSelect version, your browser and operating system, your settings, your license status and the number of links in your list. Nothing is sent unless you choose to send that email.

7. When you buy

Purchases are handled by Dodo Payments, which acts as merchant of record for the purchase. Dodo Payments collects your name, email address, billing country and address where needed for tax, and payment details, to process the payment, prevent fraud and meet its legal and tax obligations, under its own privacy policy. We never receive your full card or bank details.

We receive from Dodo Payments your name, email address, country, order details (including the amount you chose to pay) and the status of your license key. We use this only to deliver and support your purchase, handle refunds and disputes, disable refunded or misused keys, and meet our legal and accounting obligations.

The thanks page after checkout

After checkout, Dodo Payments sends you to theloopboard.com/extension/thanks/ and adds your payment ID, payment status, email address and license key to the page address. A script on that page reads these values once, shows your license key (masked until you press Show) and immediately replaces the address with a clean one, which reduces the chance that these values stay in your browser history. These values are kept only in that open page. We do not intentionally store or log them, the page loads no analytics or third-party scripts, and it tells your browser not to pass its address to other websites. As with any web page, Cloudflare, which hosts our website, your browser and other network infrastructure may process or briefly log the page address as part of delivering and securing it.

8. Why we use this information (legal bases)

• To provide what you bought (license checks, moving your license, support and refunds): this is necessary to perform our contract with you.
• To meet legal obligations, such as tax and accounting records.
• To prevent misuse of license keys (one browser at a time, move limits, disabling shared or refunded keys): our legitimate interest in protecting our product and our customers.
• With your consent, where we ask for it, for example when you choose to send us a problem report.

9. How long we keep it

Information	How long
Information on your device	Until you clear it or uninstall instantSelect
Activation record on our server (scrambled key fingerprint and activation ID)	About 13 months after it was last recorded
Rate-limit counters on our server	24 hours
Purchase records	As long as tax and accounting laws require
Support emails and Discord messages you send us	Up to 24 months, then deleted
License key records at Dodo Payments	For the life of your license, then under Dodo Payments’ retention policy

10. Who we share it with

We share information only with:

• Dodo Payments, to process payments, issue and check license keys, and handle refunds and disputes;
• Cloudflare, which hosts our license server and website;
• authorities or other parties where the law requires it, or where needed to protect our rights or prevent fraud.

If instantSelect or the LoopBoard business is transferred to someone else, the information described here may be transferred to them, and they will be bound by this policy. We do not sell, rent or trade personal information, we do not “share” it for cross-context behavioural advertising, and we do not use it for advertising. If you contact us on Discord, Discord’s own privacy policy applies there.

11. International transfers

We are based in India. Dodo Payments and Cloudflare process information in several countries, which may include countries outside your own. Where we or they transfer personal information internationally, it is protected by their security measures and, where required, by recognised legal safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

12. Security

• instantSelect never sends your list to us or to anyone else.
• License checks use encrypted HTTPS connections.
• Our server stores only scrambled fingerprints of license keys, never the keys themselves.
• License passes are digitally signed, so editing stored license data does not unlock anything.
• Access to purchase records and our server is limited to us.

No method of storage or transmission is completely secure. If a security incident affects your personal information, we will notify you and the relevant authorities where the law requires it.

13. Your rights

Depending on where you live, including under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation and US state privacy laws such as California’s, you may have the right to know what information we hold about you, get a copy, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to its use, withdraw consent, receive it in a portable format, and nominate someone to exercise your rights if you die or become unable to. To use these rights, email privacy@theloopboard.com. We may need to confirm your identity, for example by asking you to write from the email address you used to buy. We aim to acknowledge requests within 5 working days and to respond within 30 days. We will not treat you differently for exercising your rights.

Information stored only in your browser is under your control. We cannot see it, so to delete it, use Clear list or uninstall instantSelect.

Grievances. If you have a concern about how your information is handled, contact our grievance contact, Rayyan Burondkar, at privacy@theloopboard.com. We will respond within 30 days. You may also complain to your local data protection authority, or in India to the Data Protection Board of India.

14. Children

instantSelect is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must make the purchase or consent to it. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

15. Chrome Web Store disclosure

instantSelect’s use of information received from your browser complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Information is used only to provide instantSelect’s single purpose, which is collecting links to the Instagram posts you choose so they can be copied or sent to the LoopBoard app on your own computer, and to verify your license. It is never transferred for advertising, credit decisions or any unrelated purpose, and no human reads it except, where you choose, in a problem report you send us.

16. Changes to this policy

We will update the date at the top of this page whenever this policy changes. For significant changes, we will also give notice on theloopboard.com or in the store listing. If a change means instantSelect will handle new kinds of information, we will tell you before it does.
