Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Snapzy ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our macOS application and website (snapzy.app).

Snapzy is built with a privacy-first philosophy. All screen captures, recordings, and extracted text are stored locally on your device by default. We do not monitor, access, or collect your content unless you explicitly use sharing features.

The data controller for information processed through Snapzy is:

• Entity: Snapzy
• Email: support@snapzy.app
• Website: snapzy.app

Local-only data (never leaves your device):

• Screenshots and screen recordings
• Audio recordings (when microphone is enabled)
• OCR-extracted text from captures
• Annotations and edits
• File paths and save locations

Transmitted data:

• Update checks via Sparkle framework: app version, macOS version, IP address
• Shared content: only when you explicitly use sharing features

Website data:

• Waitlist email addresses (voluntarily submitted)

We do not collect: keystroke data, background screen monitoring, browsing history, or any data beyond what is listed above. We do not sell your data to third parties.

• Update checks: To notify you of new versions and security patches
• Sharing features: To host temporarily shared content via links you create
• Waitlist emails: To notify you about product updates and availability

• Consent: Microphone access, sharing features, waitlist email submission
• Legitimate interest: Automatic update checks to keep the app secure and functional
• Contract fulfillment: Processing subscription and license purchases

All capture data is stored locally on your Mac in locations you choose. We do not have access to your local files.

When data is transmitted (update checks, shared content), we use HTTPS/TLS encryption. Shared content is stored on secure servers with access controls.

When you use sharing features, the selected content is uploaded via encrypted connection. A temporary link is generated that you can share with others.

You can revoke any share link at any time from within the app. Once revoked, the shared content is deleted from our servers.

Sparkle Framework: Used for automatic update checks. Sparkle transmits your app version, macOS version, and IP address to GitHub to check for new releases. See Sparkle's documentation for details.

We do not use website analytics services. We do not track your browsing behavior.

• Local files: You control retention — delete them whenever you want
• Shared content: Retained until you revoke the share link
• Waitlist emails: Retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion
• Update check logs: Not retained by Snapzy

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:

Under GDPR (EU users): Access, rectification, erasure, data portability, restriction of processing, objection, withdrawal of consent.

Under CCPA (California users): Right to know, delete, opt-out of sale/sharing (we do not sell data), non-discrimination.

Under Vietnam PDPL: Right to know, consent/decline, view/edit/delete, request data provision, restrict/object processing.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@snapzy.app. We will respond within 30 days.

Sparkle update checks are routed through GitHub's infrastructure, which may involve servers in multiple countries. Shared content may be stored on servers outside your home country.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including standard contractual clauses where required.

Snapzy is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EU). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at support@snapzy.app and we will promptly delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via the application or our website. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly.

Your continued use of Snapzy after policy changes constitutes acceptance. For material changes that affect how we process your data, we may request renewed consent where required by law.
