Privacy Policy
What data TG Inspector collects and how it is used.
1. Public channel data
TG Inspector collects public Telegram channel metrics only:
- Channel subscriber count.
- Views, reactions, forwards, and comments for approximately 40 recent public posts.
- Channel creation date and Telegram service flags such as scam, fake, restricted, or verified.
- Public channel username and title.
This information is visible to anyone who opens the channel in Telegram. We do not request access to private channels or collect data unavailable to an ordinary Telegram user.
2. Requests to add a channel
The “Add a channel” form accepts only the username of a public channel — it does not ask for your name, phone number, or any other data about you. To protect the form from abuse, the site counts requests from one address for up to an hour in anonymized form.
3. Bot user data
The TG Inspector bot is closed to public access. For people who used it, the service stores:
- Telegram user ID for account identification.
- Username and display name for the bot interface.
- Request history, including which channels were requested and when.
- Credit balance and payment history, if any.
We do not disclose personal data to third parties except where required by Russian law.
4. Public channel pages
Channel pages are published in the TG Inspector catalog, for example /channel/username.
A channel page may show the cleanliness index and grade, the level of metric deviations (traffic light), ERR, subscriber count and median views, niche, a short conclusion, the main observation, the placement and ad-reach forecast, the reach of ad posts, view dynamics and index history, similar catalog channels, answers to common questions about the channel, and links to other channels through forwarding — the public names of channels whose posts this channel forwards and of channels that forward its posts.
The statistics page publishes a forwarding map between catalog channels — anonymously, without channel names.
A page does not show who added the channel to the catalog, only the date of its data. We do not publish personal information about channel owners or users, including comment authors.
If you own a channel and want its page removed from public access, contact us. We process removal requests within 24 hours without additional conditions.
5. Retention
Data is stored on a server in the Russian Federation. It is retained until deletion is requested or for up to two years after the last data update.
6. Cookies and analytics
The website uses Yandex.Metrika and Ahrefs Analytics for aggregate visit statistics. It also creates a random first-party identifier that contains no name, phone number, or Telegram ID. This identifier counts page views and link clicks on the site without duplicates.
Attribution stores only a source category such as Google, Yandex, ChatGPT, or Perplexity. TG Inspector does not record the complete referrer URL or search-query text in its own analytics.
We do not use advertising cookies or send visitor data to advertising networks.
7. Your requests
