https://www.instagram.com/help/support/privacy and click away the login box with the link at the bottom. I haven't tried it myself, so I don't know if it will work.

On the website select "Yes" -> "How can I get support for a privacy issue from the Data Protection Officer?" -> Click the link at the bottom named "Create Ticket" or similar -> fill out the form.
