This Privacy Policy explains what information this website collects when you read its guides or send a message through its contact form. Edits Desktop is an independent, unofficial guide. It is not affiliated with Meta Platforms, Inc. or Instagram, and it does not operate the Edits app or any Instagram account service.
Information you provide directly
When you use the contact form, you provide the name, email address, and message you choose to enter. That information is used only to read and respond to your message, including following up on a correction or a broken link. Please do not include passwords, verification codes, payment details, or other sensitive account information in a message — the site cannot help with account recovery and does not need those details.
Information collected automatically
Like most WordPress sites, this site’s hosting and security systems may record basic technical information when pages are requested, such as the pages visited, the time of the visit, and general browser and device characteristics. This information is used to keep the site running, diagnose errors, and understand which guides are read. The site does not sell personal information and does not run its own advertising program.
Cookies and embedded content
The site may use cookies or similar storage for essential functions, such as remembering a session or caching pages for performance through LiteSpeed Cache. Links to external services — for example, the official Google Play and App Store listings, or Instagram’s own pages — are governed by those services’ privacy policies once you leave this site. Embedded content from another site behaves as if you had visited that site directly.
How long information is kept
Contact-form messages are kept only as long as needed to respond and to record a correction, and are then deleted or archived at the editor’s discretion. Technical logs are retained for the shorter of the period needed for security and maintenance or the period set by the hosting provider.
Your choices
You can choose not to send a contact message. You can also set your browser to block or delete cookies, although some site features may work less smoothly. If you have sent a message and want it deleted, use the contact form again with “privacy request” in the message, and include enough detail to identify the original message.
Children
This guide is written for adults who edit video. It does not knowingly collect information from children, and no part of the site is directed at children.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when the site’s practices change. The “Updated” date at the top of this page shows the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.

Privacy questions can be sent through the contact page.
