## The short answer

Replavia asks Instagram for three permissions and nothing more. You approve them on Instagram’s own page when you connect. Our [Privacy Policy](https://stage.mydmflow.com/privacy) says we “only request the minimum permissions needed”.

| Permission | What Replavia uses it for |
|---|---|
| Basic profile | Your username, name, profile picture, follower count and post count |
| Manage comments | Reading new comments, replying, and hiding one when you click |
| Manage messages | Reading DMs sent to you and sending your automated replies |

## Your password stays with Instagram

You connect with Instagram Login, run by Meta. You type your password on Instagram’s page, never on ours. Replavia never sees or stores it. See [How to connect your Instagram account](https://stage.mydmflow.com/help/connect-instagram).

## What Replavia can read

- **New comments on your posts.** Instagram sends them to Replavia, which checks each one against your automations.
- **DMs people send you.** Replavia checks them for your keywords, a STOP request, or a shared email or phone.
- **Your list of posts.** This fills the post picker when you build an automation.
- **Basic details of people who message you.** For example their username, and whether they follow you. The follow check is only used for the [follow invite](https://stage.mydmflow.com/help/follow-invite).

What Replavia keeps from all this is explained in [Does Replavia read or store my DMs?](https://stage.mydmflow.com/help/do-you-read-my-dms)

## What Replavia can do

- Send the DMs and public comment replies your automations are set to send.
- Hide, unhide or delete a comment on your own post, only when you click. It never does this on its own.
- Show the ice breaker questions you save, when someone opens a chat with you.

## What Replavia cannot do

- It cannot post, edit or delete your posts, reels or stories.
- It cannot see your followers list or who you follow.
- It cannot message people who have not contacted you first.
- It cannot change your password, name, bio, photo or account settings. It only sets the ice breakers and DM menu you write, if you use them.

## How to remove access

You can stop Replavia at any time, in two places.

**In Replavia:**

1. Open **Accounts**.
2. Click **Disconnect** next to the account, then **Yes, disconnect**.

Your automations, leads and history are kept, and the account stops working until you reconnect.

**In Instagram:** open Settings and privacy, then Website permissions, then Apps and websites. Remove Replavia there. This ends our access completely.
