Legal, Privacy & Terms

Last updated: 6 August 2026

ERGauge is an independent demo project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Instagram or Meta Platforms, Inc. It works exclusively with data that account owners have made publicly available.

Privacy in short

ERGauge is built to be used without an account. We do not ask you to register, and we do not require a login to any social network to view a public profile.

What data ERGauge works with

The service displays and analyses only content that is publicly visible on an open profile — stories, posts, pinned highlights, and the public counts attached to them. Private accounts are never accessible through ERGauge. Analytics such as engagement rate are computed from publicly visible likes, comments and posting cadence; no private metrics are used.

Terms of use

ERGauge is provided “as is”, free of charge, for personal and professional research use. By using the service you agree to use it lawfully and to respect the rights of the people whose public content you view.

Copyright & downloads

Photos and videos shown or saved through ERGauge belong to their respective authors and rights holders. The download feature is provided for personal reference only. You are responsible for obtaining permission before reusing, republishing or distributing any saved media. If you are a rights holder and believe content has been used improperly, contact us and we will act promptly.
