Privacy Policy
1. Who we are
Nope (“we”, “us”) is a free browser extension and iOS app that hides Reels, Shorts, Stories, Explore, and similar features inside Instagram and YouTube. The website you're reading is at nope-app.com.
2. What we collect
Nothing, unless you send us feedback (see section 4). Specifically:
- No accounts. There is no sign-up and no password.
- No analytics. We do not run Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Segment, Amplitude, Sentry, or any equivalent.
- No telemetry. The extension makes no network request to our servers. The iOS app makes one, only when you tap Send on a feedback.
- No advertising identifiers, no IDFA, no fingerprinting.
- No crash reporting sent to a server.
3. What is stored, and where
Apart from the feedback you choose to send (section 4), the only data the product handles is the on/off state of each feature toggle (e.g. “Hide Reels” → true). Where it lives depends on which version you use:
- Chrome / Edge / Brave / Arc: stored in
chrome.storage.sync. If you have browser sync enabled with your Google account, your toggle states ride along with your other browser settings, but only within Google's sync infrastructure. We never see them. Disable Chrome sync to keep them strictly on this device. - Safari on iOS: stored in a local App Group container shared between the Nope app and the Nope Safari extension on your device. No iCloud sync, no remote backup hooks, no Keychain.
- The Nope iOS app: it opens Instagram and YouTube in its own web view. Your sign-ins to them, your daily limit and the time and counts it shows stay on your device. We never see them.
4. Feedback you send
In the iOS app, the Send feedback row, at the bottom of the main screen, lets you write to us. Nothing is sent until you tap Send, and nothing is sent in the background.
- What is kept: your message; the email address you leave for a reply, if any (it is optional); the app's version and build, its language, and that it was sent from the iOS app. No name, no account, no device identifier, and no IP address: the rate limit that protects the service uses a hash of it, which Cloudflare forgets after a minute.
- Why: to reply to you, when you leave an address, and to improve the app.
- Where: in our studio's feedback service, run on Cloudflare, with its database in the European Union. We use AI tools to help sort feedback and prepare replies; a person reads every reply before it is sent, from our Google Workspace email.
- For how long: your email address is erased 90 days after we have handled your feedback, and the rest is deleted 2 years after you sent it.
5. Permissions, explained
Browser extensions ask for permissions in plain technical terms, which can sound scarier than they are. Here's exactly what Nope asks for and what it does with each:
- Access to instagram.com and youtube.com. Required to inject the CSS and small scripts that hide the features you toggled. The extension does not read your DMs, posts, search history, or any account data. It only looks for the DOM elements it needs to hide.
- Storage. To remember your toggles between page loads (see section 3).
- Native messaging (Safari only). Used by the Safari extension to talk to the Nope iOS app via Apple's on-device bridge. No external network involved.
The extension does not request access to your tabs, browsing history, downloads, identity, or any site other than Instagram and YouTube.
6. Third parties
The extension and the iOS app load no third-party scripts, SDKs, or services. Feedback goes to our own service, hosted by Cloudflare (section 4). This marketing site (nope-app.com) is static HTML and CSS with no embedded analytics or tracking pixels. If you reach the App Store or the Chrome Web Store from one of our buttons, those properties are operated by Apple and Google respectively under their own privacy policies.
7. Children
Nope is suitable for all ages and is not directed at children specifically. It collects no personal information on its own; sending feedback is optional, and we do not knowingly keep feedback from children.
8. Your rights
Unless you sent us feedback, we hold no data about you, so there is nothing to export, correct, or delete on our side. To erase the local toggle data, uninstall the extension or the iOS app. Your settings go with it.
If you sent us feedback, you can ask us to access, correct, or delete it, or the address you left, at any time: hi@justeapps.com.
9. Changes
If we ever change how the product handles data, we'll update this page and bump the “Last updated” date above. Material changes (anything that introduces collection or transmission of data) will be called out in the extension's release notes.
