Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This policy applies to all services at snipinsta.app and explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our online tools and related browser extension.

2. Information We Collect

Uploaded Content

When you upload images (for compression, conversion, background removal, etc.), we process them temporarily to produce your requested output. We do not sell your images. Depending on the tool, processing may happen locally in your browser or on our servers.

For server-processed tasks, uploads and outputs are typically deleted within 24 hours (or sooner) to operate the service and handle retries, abuse prevention, and support diagnostics.

Usage Data

We automatically collect non-personal data–timestamps, tool used, browser type, and IP address–to monitor performance and prevent abuse.

3. Browser Extension Privacy

The Snipinsta browser extension is optional. It helps you detect media (images/videos) on web pages and send selected items to Snipinsta tools.

What the extension may access

• Page media URLs (e.g., image/video URLs) to let you select items for processing.
• Basic page context needed to extract media elements (for example, the current tab and the media elements on the page).
• Extension settings and queue state stored in extension storage on your device.

What the extension sends to Snipinsta

When you run a tool from the extension, the extension may send the selected media (either by downloading the media and uploading it, or by sending the URL—depending on the tool/flow) to Snipinsta to perform the requested processing. The extension does not sell this data.

Authentication

If you connect the extension to your Snipinsta account, the extension stores an authentication token in extension storage to authorize requests. You can disconnect at any time by signing out in the extension options or clearing extension storage.

4. How We Use Information

• Provide, maintain, and improve our services.
• Prevent spam, fraud, and malicious activity.
• Analyze site usage and performance.

5. Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences (e.g., dark mode), enable core features, and gather anonymized analytics via Google Analytics. You can manage or disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may be affected.

6. Third-Party Services

We rely on these providers:

• Cloudflare for CDN, DDoS protection, and security.
• Google Analytics for anonymized usage statistics.
• Stripe for payment processing, where applicable.

Each has its own privacy policy–please review their terms for details.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under laws like GDPR or CCPA, including:

• Accessing the personal data we hold about you.
• Requesting correction or deletion of your data.
• Opting out of certain data processing.

To exercise any rights, please contact us.

8. Data Security & Retention

We employ industry-standard security measures (HTTPS, access controls) to protect your data. For server-processed tasks, uploaded files and outputs are typically purged within 24 hours. We may retain limited logs for security and abuse prevention.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the latest revision. Continued use of our site implies acceptance of any changes.
