Last Updated: February 14, 2024

Introduction

Welcome to Snap View's Privacy Policy. This policy describes how Snap View ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, and shares your information when you use our Chrome extension.

We take your privacy seriously and are committed to protecting your personal information. Please read this policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your data.

By installing and using Snap View, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information Collection

We collect minimal data. Snap View is designed with privacy in mind, and we limit data collection to only what's necessary for the extension to function properly.

Information we collect:

  • Usage Data: Anonymous information about how you use the extension, such as which features you use most frequently and any errors that occur.
  • Saved Previews: If you choose to save previews, we store this information locally on your device. This data is not transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly enable cloud sync.
  • Extension Settings: Your preferences and configuration settings for the extension are stored locally on your device.

Information we DO NOT collect:

  • Browsing History: We do not track or store the websites you visit.
  • Personal Information: We do not collect names, email addresses, or other personal identifiers unless you voluntarily provide them for support purposes.
  • Payment Information: As Snap View is free, we do not collect any payment details.

How We Use Information

We use the limited information we collect for the following purposes:

  • Improving the Extension: Understanding how users interact with Snap View helps us improve the user experience and fix issues.
  • Providing Support: If you contact us for support, we may use information you provide to help resolve your issue.
  • Extension Functionality: To provide the core functionality of previewing links and saving sessions.

We will never sell your data to third parties or use it for advertising purposes.

Data Storage & Security

Local Storage: Most of the data Snap View uses is stored locally on your device using Chrome's storage APIs. This includes your saved previews and settings.

Security Measures: We implement appropriate security measures to protect any data we do collect. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention: We retain usage data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. You can clear local extension data at any time through your browser settings.

Third-Party Services

Snap View uses a limited number of third-party services to help us improve the extension:

  • Chrome Web Store: When you download or update Snap View, Google's Chrome Web Store collects certain information according to their own privacy policy.
  • Error Tracking: We use error tracking to identify and fix bugs. This service collects anonymous information about any crashes or errors you might experience.

These services are governed by their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information:

  • Access: You can request information about what data we have collected about you.
  • Correction: You can request that we correct inaccurate information.
  • Deletion: You can request that we delete your data.
  • Objection: You can object to certain uses of your information.
  • Data Portability: You can request a copy of your data in a structured, commonly used format.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information in the "Contact Us" section.

Children's Privacy

Snap View is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take necessary actions.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
