Privacy Policy
Effective Date: April 28, 2025
Snifty ("we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the Snifty mobile application (the "App"). Please read this policy carefully.
Information We Collect
- Photos and Media: Photos selected or captured within the App are processed locally on your device whenever possible. If external services are used for enhanced analysis (e.g., face detection, scene description), minimal data (such as a processed low-resolution copy) may be sent securely for analysis, but not stored or reused.
- Metadata: Information such as timestamps and location tags embedded in your photos may be accessed to generate contextual captions and memories. This metadata is processed locally unless otherwise stated.
- Device Information: We collect anonymized device information (such as app version, device type, and iOS version) to improve app performance and stability.
- Purchase Data: If you purchase a subscription or premium feature, we receive transaction information from the App Store but not your credit card or billing details.
How We Use Your Information
- To generate captions, themes, and personalized memories based on your photos.
- To provide, maintain, and improve Snifty’s features.
- To support subscription management and customer support.
- To analyze anonymized usage patterns for product improvement.
- To comply with legal obligations and enforce our policies.
Data Storage and Retention
Snifty does not permanently store your photos or metadata on external servers unless explicitly authorized by you (e.g., optional cloud backups in future versions). Most data remains on your device and is deleted when you delete the app. Minimal subscription or analytics information may be stored securely as required by law or operational needs.
Third-Party Services
We may use trusted third-party services to enhance Snifty features, such as AI caption generation or in-app purchases (e.g., Apple App Store, RevenueCat). These third parties are contractually obligated to safeguard your information in compliance with privacy laws.
Your Rights and Choices
- Access: You may request information about the data we hold about you.
- Deletion: You may delete your Snifty app and associated local data at any time. Subscription-related data can be deleted by contacting support@snifty.app.
- Control: You can limit access to photos and location through your device settings at any time.
Children’s Privacy
Snifty is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If we discover such data, we will delete it immediately.
Security
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect your information from loss, theft, and misuse. However, no internet transmission is ever completely secure or error-free.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify you of any material changes via the App or email, as required by law. Continued use of Snifty after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
