Tour de Feed – Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 14, 2026

Tour de Feed is a free, fictional cycling game played on Instagram (@tourdefeed). When you comment on one of our posts, a pixel rider is created for you and races in simulated events. This page explains what data we use and why.

Who is responsible

Tour de Feed is run by an independent individual as a non-commercial hobby project. For any question about your data, or to exercise your rights, write to tourdefeed@gmail.com.

What data we use

• Your Instagram username and the account ID Instagram gives our app.
• The text and time of your comments on our posts, and the number of likes each comment receives.
• The nation and goal you choose with a hashtag, if any.
• Game data we generate: your rider's attributes, results and rankings.

We do not collect your email, phone number, location, messages or the list of your followers. We only read comments on our own posts, through Instagram's official API.

Why we use it

• To create your rider and train it with your comments.
• To run the races and publish results and rankings on Instagram, where your username may appear.
• To prevent abuse, such as fake accounts or offensive usernames.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in running a game you choose to join by commenting. You can leave at any time (see below).

Who else handles it

We use Meta (Instagram) to read comments and publish posts, GitHub to run the game and store its data, and Cloudflare to host images and this page. They process data for us under their own terms. We do not sell or share your data with anyone else, and we do not use it for advertising.

How long we keep it

Game data is kept until the end of the current season. Within 60 days after the season ends we delete it, except for the list of winners (the "hall of fame"), which shows only usernames and titles.

How to leave and delete your data

Comment STOP on any of our posts, or write to tourdefeed@gmail.com with your Instagram username. We delete your rider and your data within 30 days. Results already published on Instagram stay visible until you ask us to remove your username from them.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, or object to its use, by writing to tourdefeed@gmail.com. If you are in the EU, you can also complain to your data protection authority (in Italy, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali).

Age

You must be at least 16 years old to play. If we learn that a rider belongs to someone younger, we delete it.

Changes

If this policy changes, we update the date at the top of this page.
