Hashtag Expert

Thank you for visiting Shakd, LLC and our Service (“Shakd Apps”). Your privacy is important to us. This notice explains our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is used at our Service.

The Information We Collect

We do not collect personally identifiable information about you – such as your name, address, telephone number, fax number, e-mail address, etc. – unless you choose to complete registration and become a Member and affirmatively consent to our collection of such personally identifiable information.

We do automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit our Service. We call this information “Anonymous Data”. Anonymous Data is non-personally identifiable information about your use or the aggregate use of all users that allows us to provide analytics and information on application or Instagram performance, trends, and other metrics that may be useful to users or us. Anonymous Data includes, but is not limited to, the type of browser you are using, the type of operating system you are using, the domain name of your Internet service provider (e.g. Comcast, Verizon FIOS, etc.), the country a mobile device is used in, the time zone of use, the type of mobile device, non-personally identifiable information about use or performance of an Instagram account, and similar information.

We collect your instagram account ID and username which can be used in some cases to personally identify you. This is used, with your permission, to perform the services of the apps including calculating stats and analyzing your accounts. Your Instagram account username is not publicly accessible to other users unless you affirmatively opt-in for it to be.  

We retain your Instagram account username(s) and id(s) in our database indefinitely. Certain calculated analytics containing your Instagram username will remain in our system including hourly and daily data points. These data points contain snapshots of your accounts’ various stats at given times. For example, the number of followers you have. This information can be erased by request.

Unfortunately, we cannot perform the core services of this app without access to your Instagram id(s) and username(s). If you do not login with your Instagram account, we cannot offer you the analytics and stats the application provides.

We also use your Instagram account username and other self-reported information like niche and account type to analyze how you use the application so we can make the experience better for you.

We will not sell your Instagram account data or statistical information unless you affirmatively opt-in for it. We may anonymize your data and then use it to calculate aggregate statistics. For example, we may use your best time to post, your follower count, account niche, and account type to contribute to an aggregated best time to post. With such analytics, however, your username and personally identifiable information will not be accessible.

Once your account is removed, try logging in with Facebook again and connect all your eligible accounts.

Error "No User Found. We couldn’t find your Profile."

It seems there is a problem with the latest iOS 14 update which causes Apple devices to keep losing the connection to Wi-Fi. Internet connections are not established automatically as they should, so users have to go into Settings and reconnect manually to Wi-Fi. First, please make sure your iPhone is updated to the latest iOS version. If you are on cellular internet (mobile data), make sure both iCloud Drive and Hashtag Expert are allowed to use mobile data. The following settings are usually the ones causing problems for many users: Go to iPhone Settings > Mobile Data (Cellular Data) > enable for Hashtags Expert app AND then scroll down to the bottom of the list to enable it for iCloud Drive.
