addy.rehman.uaeQ: White listing does not work.
I mean, the white listing doesn't work. It's a link. But the main link can be seen by anyone who goes and inspects the source code of that page. Once they have that, the link is visible and accessible to everyone; even the content is visible. So, I don't understand how this white listing is working.

Edited Sep 29, 2026A: Edit: I would like to point out that domain whitelisting should not be used to secure data (it only prevents your chart from being embedded in other websites. Webscrapers and API's can still view whitelisted content with spoofed headers). If you need data secured, the chart needs to be behind a password. We currently offer sharing with specific users to meet this need. We are working on offering passwords for shares: https://instacharts.canny.io/feature-requests/p/password-protected-shares
Hello,
Thanks for using InstaCharts and reaching out with your question.
Whitelisting a share prevents it from being embedded in any other website other than one you specify.
Many of our early users were embedding content in public websites, and viewing a chart larger in the full screen share (with editor controls) was a feature. I can see how with a private website, you'd prefer the full screen share to not load at all.
I am sorry whitelisting didn't work the way you expected - I'll get the team working on additional privacy controls to address this.

Yes, this whitelisting is only valuable if our data is saved from viewers, obviously. Right now, in the shareable code, you just need to copy that URL and paste it in the address bar, and your data is available for everyone. So, this whitelisting isn't technically whitelisting anymore. Please work on this, and then we'll go for the highest tier and work with it. Thank you.
We have made changes - If you turn off "Allow top loading", it will now prevent full page shares from loading too. Please check it out and let me know if it works for you at [email protected].
