Last Updated: March 19, 2026


1. Introduction

MagicDM ("we," "our," or "us") is a software tool that enables creators, businesses, and brands to automate and manage Instagram direct messages (DMs) and interactions.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency in how your information is collected, used, and safeguarded. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you access or use our services.

By using MagicDM, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

We follow the principle of data minimization and only collect data necessary to provide our services.

2.1 Information from Instagram (via Meta APIs)

When you connect your Instagram account to MagicDM, we access certain information via official Meta APIs based on the permissions you grant. This may include:

  • Instagram User ID
  • Username and profile information
  • Messages and conversations (only when required to enable automation features)
  • Comments on your posts
  • Media metadata (e.g., post IDs, timestamps)
  • Permissions and access tokens granted via Meta OAuth

Important:

  • We do not collect or store your Instagram password.
  • All data access is performed through official Meta APIs only.
  • We do not use scraping or unauthorized data collection methods.

2.2 Account Information

We may collect:

  • Email address
  • Account credentials (securely stored)
  • Subscription and billing details (if applicable)

2.3 Automation & Usage Data

To provide our services, we store:

  • Automation rules (keywords, triggers, workflows)
  • Message templates and responses
  • Interaction logs (for debugging, performance, and reliability)

2.4 Technical & Device Information

We may automatically collect:

  • IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device information
  • Operating system
  • Cookies and session data

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies for:

  • Authentication and session management
  • Service performance and reliability
  • Analytics (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand user behavior
  • Marketing purposes to provide tailored experiences (applies only to website visitors, not Instagram data)

You can manage your cookie preferences via your browser settings.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your data only for legitimate and limited purposes necessary to operate MagicDM. This includes:

  • Providing Instagram DM automation features requested by you
  • Sending automated responses to messages or comments on your behalf
  • Managing workflows and triggers configured by you
  • Improving system performance, reliability, and security
  • Preventing abuse, spam, or misuse of the platform
  • Providing customer support

Important Usage Limitation: MagicDM only uses Instagram data to provide user-requested automation features. We do not use Instagram data for advertising, profiling, or unrelated purposes.

User-Initiated Interactions Only: MagicDM only sends automated messages in response to user-initiated interactions (e.g., when a user sends a message or comments on a post), in compliance with Instagram Platform policies.

We do NOT:

  • Sell, rent, or trade your personal data
  • Use Instagram data for advertising purposes
  • Share your data with unauthorized third parties

5. How We Share Your Information

We only share data when necessary to operate our services.

5.1 Meta (Instagram Platform)

We interact with Meta APIs to enable messaging and automation features.

5.2 Service Providers

We may use trusted third-party service providers to support the operation of MagicDM, such as cloud hosting or infrastructure services. These providers process data only as necessary to provide the service and are bound by strict data protection obligations.

5.3 Legal Requirements

We may disclose data if required to:

  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Respond to lawful requests
  • Prevent fraud or security issues

5.4 AI Providers

To provide intelligent automated replies, we may send de-identified or original message content to third-party AI providers (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google). These providers use the data solely to generate responses for MagicDM and do not use it to train their public models or for other purposes.

6. Data Retention

We retain data only as long as necessary:

  • Account data — until account deletion
  • Automation data — while features are active
  • Logs and analytics — retained for up to 90 days for debugging, security, and performance monitoring

Message Retention: We do not store the text content of messages for long periods. Message content is only read and processed temporarily to generate automated replies and is discarded immediately after the response is sent. We only retain interaction metadata (e.g., timestamps, user IDs) for statistical purposes.

After the retention period, data is deleted or anonymized.

7. Data Security

We implement industry-standard safeguards, including:

  • HTTPS encryption (TLS)
  • Secure storage of access tokens
  • Access control and authentication systems
  • Continuous monitoring and updates

However, no system is completely secure.

  • Access your data
