About StoriesNavigation

Revision date

1. Operator

StoriesNavigation is maintained by a small team and published under that name alone. Personal names stay off this entry. What stays on it is checkable: the four refusals in entry 3, the data path set out in the privacy policy, and a mailbox that answers. One operator, one mailbox. Should any detail here drift out of date, the address under entry 5 reaches whoever keeps this page current.

2. Purpose

Glancing at an open profile ought not to demand joining a platform, installing software or bartering personal details. The reasons are everyday ones: vetting a seller, preparing for an interview, checking a first date, answering an unknown sender. Registering an account for one glance is overkill, and handing credentials to a site promising to sign in on your behalf is a genuine hazard. StoriesNavigation is a single web page. It lays out, tab by tab, what an account already published for everybody, and goes no further than that.

3. Four firm refusals

  1. Unlocking private accounts. Nothing can, and this page will never suggest otherwise.
  2. Requesting an Instagram password, under any circumstances.
  3. Recording which usernames get looked up, or generating indexable pages about random accounts.
  4. Selling data. There is none gathered here to sell.

Fetching falls to an outside supplier of profile data; the privacy policy lists, item by item, what that supplier receives.

4. Unaffiliated

Instagram and Meta Platforms, Inc., the company behind it, neither endorse nor partner with StoriesNavigation; they own the trademark “Instagram”.

5. Mailbox
