Around the official Instagram application, there is a whole ecosystem of complementary applications that can help you optimize your post, analyze your content statistics, and automate tasks. To perform these functions, they all need access to our account. To do so, you will be asked to log in with your Instagram credentials.
If you have been using the service for a considerable time, you may have authorized several applications to access your private data. You may have already stopped using some of these tools, but this does not mean that they can no longer read and analyze your behavior within the social network.

We cannot deny that Instagram is a service that bases its business model on the storage and processing of personal data.
