Takedowns and copyright notices
Revision date
First: what sits on our side
Nothing from Instagram. Each lookup runs live from a visitor’s browser through our server to an outside supplier of profile data, and its result is shown only in that one tab. StoriesNavigation files away no copy and keeps no roster of accounts, so no switch exists here that could hide a handle or a post from the next visitor.
Then: the two routes to removal
A post drops out of every viewer, this one among them, the moment Instagram stops serving it publicly. Route one is the account owner’s: lock the profile, or delete the story, post or highlight. Route two is the rights holder’s: file a complaint against the item through Instagram’s copyright form. No earlier result is reused here, so the first lookup after either change already shows it.
Finally: notices mailed to us
Write to contact@storiesnavigation.com and every copyright notice receives an answer, normally inside 48 hours. A formal DMCA notice carries four elements: the work named, with the Instagram link where it appears; an honest belief, declared in good faith, that the use is unauthorised; a declaration sworn on pain of perjury that every detail in it is true and that you hold the rights or represent their holder; and an address to answer. Gaps are met with a question in return, never with a rejection.
What we do act on
StoriesNavigation’s own page wording and brand graphics are ours to edit. Should a valid notice concern one of them, that passage or file is corrected or withdrawn, and written confirmation follows. Notices about Instagram material are answered with the two routes above.
Disputing a change
Believe one of our own texts or images was altered on the strength of an erroneous notice? Mail your counter-notice to that same address, saying how to reach you, which material is concerned and on what grounds the alteration was wrong. It goes on to whoever sent the original notice.
