SORT privacy policy
Last updated: October 25, 2026
SORT is a free Chrome extension by Fady Khaled. It sorts Instagram profiles by what popped for its time, and pings you when an account you watch posts an outlier.
What stays in your browser
SORT keeps your sorted profiles, your watch list and your settings in Chrome's own storage on your computer. It reads Instagram with the session you are already logged in with, from your own browser. We never see your Instagram login, your password or your messages.
What reaches us, only if you sign in
The free profile is optional. If you create one, we keep:
- your email address, to send your sign-in link, and, if you ticked the box when you signed up, emails from Fady about SORT and content that brings in clients (every one has a one-click unsubscribe);
- your Instagram handle, if you add it;
- the profiles you press Save on: their public numbers (posts, multiples, eras, posting rhythm, top posts) and links to their public pictures;
- the competitors you add, with links to their public pictures. Competitors you add are shared with Fady Khaled to improve the tool.
For your profile we store links to Instagram pictures, never the pictures themselves. Sign-in links last 30 minutes. Sessions last 30 days, or until you sign out.
Make my version
This button opens our free writing page with that one post's public link, numbers and caption. Nothing from your own account goes with it. The post you start from goes into our research bank, with a copy of its cover picture, like every post someone writes from.
Notifications
Your list's pings are made by Chrome on your computer. They are not sent through our servers.
What we never do
We do not sell your data. We do not use it for advertising. It is stored and sent for us by our service providers (hosting and email) and is not shared with anyone else.
Deleting your data
Remove the extension and everything SORT kept in your browser is gone.
To delete your free profile and everything saved on it, use Delete my profile on your profile page, or email [email protected] and we delete it.
