This involves the processing of data in the form of so-called 'Instagram Insights' which are described in more detail at https://help.instagram.com/788388387972460?helpref=faq_content.

Evaluations and statistics are generated in the form of Instagram Insights from the usage data of the Instagram pages, which support us in improving our marketing activities and our external presence. Instagram Insights lets us learn more about our users and the performance of our content with you as audience. For this purpose Instagram provides us with statistics on specific posts and stories created to find out how users interacted with them. When classifying people into target groups, demographic data or data about the location of a person is also included in order to place targeted advertisements with these people. If you use Instagram on several end devices, a cross-device analysis of the data can take place. The data collected in this way is statistically processed and usually anonymous, i.e. we cannot establish any reference to the individual person.
