Review sign-in
The studio uses Firebase Authentication to verify your assigned email account and review access. A browser session cookie keeps you signed in.
Instagram connection
After you authorize the connection on Instagram, the studio reads your Instagram account identifiers, username, and account type. It checks that the account is a business or creator account and displays the username so you can verify the publishing destination. The studio stores the identifiers and username with an encrypted Instagram access token.
Publishing and scheduling
When you publish a Reel, the studio sends Meta your post caption and a temporary link to the rendered MP4. For a scheduled Reel, the studio saves the selected account, video version, caption, and time so it can publish the Reel when due. The studio shows the publishing status and the Instagram post link when available.
Inbox and comments
If you choose message access, the studio retrieves conversations belonging to your connected Instagram account, message text, sender names, and timestamps to display your inbox. The comments page separately verifies your ImageFactory sign-in and assigned review access, then uses your authorized Facebook connection to retrieve selected linked-account post and comment identifiers, comment text, author usernames, and timestamps. When you choose to reply to a comment, the page sends your reply text and the selected comment identifier to Meta. These features retrieve message and comment content on demand for display in browser memory; they do not save those payloads in persistent studio storage.
Disconnecting and requesting deletion
In Export, choose Disconnect next to the connected Instagram account to remove the saved connection and access token. Cancel a pending schedule before disconnecting.
When Meta sends a data deletion request for the connected Instagram account, the studio removes the matching connection, publishing records, and schedules, and returns a confirmation code and status link. The studio manages project files separately. Manage published Reels on Instagram.
