Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 26, 2026

SnapVid respects your privacy. This policy explains our data practices, how we handle your information, and how we comply with advertising standards like Google AdSense.

1. Data Collection & Minimization

SnapVid does not require an account. We do not collect personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, emails, or phone numbers. All media downloads are processed ephemerally; we do not host, store, or monitor the files you download.

Like most web services, we automatically collect limited technical data to ensure service stability. This includes your IP address (anonymized where possible), browser type, device metadata, and a timestamp of access. This information is used solely for security monitoring, preventing automated abuse (scraping), and optimizing our server performance.

2. Advertising & Cookies (Google AdSense)

To keep SnapVid free, we use third-party advertising companies like Google AdSense. These vendors use cookies to serve ads based on your visit to this and other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DART cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their interests. You may opt-out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings (https://www.google.com/settings/ads) or by using 'AboutAds' (www.aboutads.info).

3. GDPR, CCPA & International Rights

If you reside in the EEA or California, you have specific rights regarding your data. Since SnapVid does not maintain user profiles, we have no personal files to export or delete. However, you have the right to block tracking cookies via your browser settings.

Our legal basis for processing technical logs is 'Legitimate Interest' under GDPR Article 6(1)(f), specifically for the purposes of network security and service availability.

4. No Host Policy & Legal Compliance

SnapVid is a purely technical utility. We do not host or archive any content. When you paste a link, our engine fetches the media directly from the original social media CDN.

5. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

SnapVid is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with any data, please contact us immediately so we can remove it from our temporary security logs.

6. Log Retention & Security

Technical security logs are kept for a maximum of 30 days before being automatically purged, unless required for an ongoing security investigation. We use industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption to protect all data in transit between your device and our servers.

7. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to external sites not operated by us. We have no control over the content or privacy practices of these sites and cannot accept responsibility for their respective policies.

8. Policy Changes

We reserve the right to update this policy to reflect changes in our service or legal requirements. Use of SnapVid constitutes acceptance of the current Privacy Policy terms.

9. Contact & DMCA
