DMCA and Copyright Policy

FreeInstaVideos respects the intellectual-property rights of creators, copyright owners, publishers, photographers, videographers, musicians, and other rights holders.

This DMCA and Copyright Policy explains how copyright owners or their authorized representatives may report material connected with FreeInstaVideos that they believe infringes their rights. It also explains how affected parties may submit a counter-notification when they believe material was removed or access was disabled because of a mistake or misidentification.

This Policy applies to the FreeInstaVideos website located at https://freeinstavideos.com/ and to website content, pages, links, and materials that we control.

1. Our Commitment to Copyright Protection

FreeInstaVideos does not support or encourage copyright infringement.

Our website provides browser-based tools intended to process publicly accessible Instagram URLs when users have the legal right or appropriate permission to download the associated media.

The technical availability of media does not mean that the media is free from copyright or may be reused without permission.

Users are required to respect:

  • Copyright law
  • Trademark rights
  • Privacy rights
  • Publicity and personality rights
  • Content licenses
  • Creator attribution requirements
  • Applicable platform rules
  • Other intellectual-property rights

Users should download content only when they own it, have received appropriate permission, hold a valid license, or are otherwise legally authorized.

2. Independent Service

FreeInstaVideos is an independent website.

We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, administered by, or officially connected with Instagram or Meta Platforms, Inc.

“Instagram,” “Meta,” and related names, logos, and trademarks are owned by their respective rights holders. References to Instagram are used only to identify the platform with which our tools are intended to work.

FreeInstaVideos does not control Instagram’s servers, posts, user accounts, privacy settings, copyright procedures, or content-removal systems.

3. Nature of the Service

FreeInstaVideos is designed to process URLs submitted by users. The service is not intended to operate as a permanent hosting platform for Instagram media or as a searchable archive of downloaded content.

Instagram URLs submitted to the downloader are processed to perform the user’s request and are not intended to be permanently stored as a public download history.

Limited technical records may temporarily exist in server logs, caches, network records, security systems, or error reports.

Because content may remain hosted on Instagram or another independent platform, removing a page, link, reference, or technical functionality from FreeInstaVideos may not remove the original media from Instagram.

If your complaint concerns content hosted directly by Instagram, you should also use Instagram’s official copyright-reporting process.

4. Copyright Ownership

Instagram media may be owned or controlled by:

  • The person who created it
  • The person who uploaded it
  • A photographer or videographer
  • A production company
  • A musician or record label
  • A publisher
  • A business
  • An employer or client
  • A licensing agency
  • Another copyright owner or exclusive licensee

FreeInstaVideos does not claim ownership of third-party media processed through the downloader.

The ability to technically access or download public media does not transfer ownership or grant a license to the user.

5. Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you are a copyright owner or an agent authorized to act on behalf of a copyright owner, and you believe material available on or through FreeInstaVideos infringes an exclusive copyright right, you may submit a written copyright notice through our Contact Us page.

Your notice must be complete, accurate, and submitted in good faith.

Submitting an incomplete notice may delay our ability to identify or review the reported material.

6. Required Elements of a Copyright Notice

A copyright-infringement notice should contain all of the following information:

6.1 Signature

Include your physical or electronic signature, or the signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Typing your full legal name at the end of an electronic notice may serve as an electronic signature where legally valid.

6.2 Identification of the Copyrighted Work

Clearly identify the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed.

If your notice concerns multiple copyrighted works, you may provide a representative list that identifies the affected works with reasonable specificity.

Useful information may include:

  • The title of the work
  • The creator’s name
  • The copyright owner’s name
  • The original publication URL
  • Registration information, if available
  • A description of the protected content
  • Screenshots or supporting documentation

Copyright registration information may be helpful but is not necessarily required merely to submit a report.

6.3 Identification of the Reported Material

Identify the material on FreeInstaVideos that you believe is infringing or connected with infringing activity.

Provide enough information for us to locate it. This should normally include:

  • The complete FreeInstaVideos page URL
  • The relevant submitted or displayed URL, where known
  • The title or description of the reported material
  • Screenshots showing the issue
  • Any other location information reasonably necessary

A general reference to the homepage without identifying the affected material may be insufficient.

6.4 Your Contact Information

Provide information that allows us to contact you, including:

  • Your full legal name
  • Your organization, if applicable
  • Your mailing address
  • Your telephone number
  • Your email address

If you are submitting the notice as an authorized representative, identify the copyright owner you represent and describe your authority to act.

6.5 Good-Faith Statement

Include a statement substantially similar to the following:

I have a good-faith belief that the use of the copyrighted material described in this notice is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

6.6 Accuracy and Authority Statement

Include a statement substantially similar to the following:

I state, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notice is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

6.7 Signature and Date

Conclude the notice with:

  • Your full legal name
  • Your physical or electronic signature
  • The date of submission

7. How to Submit a Copyright Notice

9. What Happens After We Receive a Notice

After receiving a substantially complete copyright notice, we may:

  • Confirm receipt where appropriate
  • Review the notice for completeness
  • Request additional information
  • Attempt to locate the reported material
  • Restrict or remove a page, link, reference, or functionality under our control
  • Disable access to relevant material
  • Preserve limited records where legally necessary
  • Notify the person associated with the affected material, where identifiable
  • Provide information about a counter-notification
  • Reject fraudulent, abusive, or clearly defective notices
  • Refer the matter to a service provider or legal adviser
  • Take any other action we consider appropriate under applicable law

We aim to review legitimate and properly documented complaints in good faith. We do not guarantee a particular outcome or response time.

10. Content Hosted by Instagram or Other Platforms

FreeInstaVideos cannot directly remove a video, Reel, photo, story, highlight, account, or post hosted solely by Instagram or another third-party platform.

If the original content is hosted by Instagram, a report to FreeInstaVideos may affect only material or functionality under our control.

To seek removal of the original post, you may need to contact:

  • Instagram through its official reporting tools
  • The account that uploaded the content
  • The relevant hosting provider
  • A search engine
  • Another platform displaying the content

FreeInstaVideos is not responsible for the actions, response times, or decisions of independent platforms.

11. Counter-Notification

If material under your control was removed or access was disabled because of a copyright notice, and you believe the removal occurred because of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification.

A counter-notification is a legal request. You should consider obtaining legal advice before submitting one.

12. Required Elements of a Counter-Notification

A counter-notification should include:

12.1 Your Signature

Provide your physical or electronic signature.

12.2 Identification of the Removed Material

Identify the material that was removed or to which access was disabled.

Describe where the material appeared before removal and provide the previous URL or location where available.

12.3 Statement Under Penalty of Perjury

Include a statement substantially similar to:

I state, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification.

12.4 Your Contact Details

Provide:

  • Your full legal name
  • Your mailing address
  • Your telephone number
  • Your email address

12.5 Consent to Jurisdiction and Service

Where the U.S. DMCA procedure applies, include a statement substantially similar to:

I consent to the jurisdiction of the United States Federal District Court for the judicial district in which my address is located. If my address is outside the United States, I consent to the jurisdiction of any United States Federal District Court in which the service provider may be found. I will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original copyright notice or an agent of that person.

12.6 Signature and Date

End the counter-notification with your full legal name, signature, and date.

13. How to Submit a Counter-Notification

Submit your counter-notification through:

Counter-notification form: https://freeinstavideos.com/contact-us/

Use “DMCA Counter-Notification” as the subject.

The counter-notification must contain all applicable information described above. We may be unable to process an incomplete submission.

14. Action Following a Counter-Notification

Where the applicable DMCA process applies, we may forward a valid counter-notification to the party that submitted the original notice.

The original complainant may then have a limited period to notify us that legal action has been filed seeking a court order concerning the disputed material.

Subject to applicable law, we may restore material or access after the required period if we do not receive notice of such legal action. Restoration is not guaranteed where separate legal, security, technical, contractual, or policy reasons support continued restriction.

15. Misrepresentations and False Notices

Copyright notices and counter-notifications are serious legal communications.

You must not knowingly submit:

  • False ownership claims
  • Fraudulent signatures
  • Misleading allegations
  • Notices targeting lawful material in bad faith
  • Notices intended to harass a user
  • Notices concerning rights you do not own or represent
  • Counter-notifications containing false statements

A person who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation may face legal liability, including potential damages, costs, or attorneys’ fees under applicable law.

FreeInstaVideos may reject or disregard notices that appear fraudulent, abusive, automated, incomplete, or unrelated to copyright.

16. Repeat Infringement

Where appropriate and technically possible, FreeInstaVideos may restrict or terminate access associated with users or systems that repeatedly misuse the service for copyright infringement.

Because the website may not require user accounts, available enforcement measures may include:

  • Blocking abusive requests
  • Applying rate limits
  • Restricting particular URLs
  • Disabling website functionality
  • Blocking technical identifiers
  • Preserving records necessary to investigate repeated misuse
  • Reporting unlawful activity where appropriate

We may also act against users who repeatedly submit fraudulent copyright complaints.

17. Fair Use, Fair Dealing, and Authorized Uses

Not every use of copyrighted material is necessarily infringing.

Applicable law may permit certain limited uses for purposes such as:

  • Criticism
  • Commentary
  • News reporting
  • Research
  • Teaching
  • Scholarship
  • Parody
  • Quotation
  • Other legally recognized purposes

Whether a particular use qualifies for fair use, fair dealing, or another exception depends on the relevant law and specific facts.

FreeInstaVideos does not decide whether a user’s activity qualifies for an exception. Rights holders and users should carefully consider authorized uses and legal exceptions before submitting notices or counter-notifications.

18. Trademark, Privacy, and Other Complaints

This DMCA Policy is intended primarily for copyright claims.

If your concern involves:

  • Trademark infringement
  • Impersonation
  • Privacy violations
  • Defamation
  • Publicity rights
  • Personal data
  • Harassment
  • Illegal content
  • Another non-copyright issue

Submit your complaint through our Contact Us page and clearly identify the nature of the issue.

Different information and procedures may apply to non-copyright complaints.

19. No Legal Advice

This Policy is provided for general informational purposes and to explain our copyright-reporting procedure.

It is not legal advice and does not create:

  • An attorney-client relationship
  • A fiduciary relationship
  • A professional advisory relationship
  • A guarantee of DMCA safe-harbor protection
  • A promise that any notice will produce a particular result

Copyright laws and procedures vary by jurisdiction. Rights holders and affected users should consult qualified legal counsel when necessary.

20. Privacy of Copyright Communications

Information submitted in a copyright notice or counter-notification may be used to:

  • Review the claim
  • Contact the submitting party
  • Identify reported material
  • Take action on the complaint
  • Notify an affected party

A notice or counter-notification may be forwarded to the affected party, service providers, legal advisers, or authorities where reasonably necessary or legally required.

Do not include unnecessary sensitive personal information.

For additional information, review our Privacy Policy.

21. No Guarantee of Removal

Submitting a complaint does not guarantee that material will be removed or that access will be disabled.

We may decline or delay action when:

  • The notice is incomplete
  • The reported material cannot be located
  • The claim does not concern material under our control
  • Ownership or authority is unclear
  • The notice appears fraudulent
  • The request concerns a non-copyright dispute
  • The requested action is technically impossible
  • Applicable law does not require the requested action
  • Additional information is reasonably necessary

We may still take voluntary action where we consider it appropriate.

22. Changes to This Policy

We may update this DMCA and Copyright Policy to reflect changes in:

  • Applicable law
  • Copyright procedures
  • Website functionality
  • Contact methods
  • Technical infrastructure
  • Service-provider relationships
  • Enforcement practices

The revised Policy will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.
