We don't want your data.
SnapSafe was built with privacy as its first‑class feature. Below is the plain‑language summary of what happens to your data when you use the app:
| What we collect | Where it goes | Why we need it |
|---|---|---|
| Nothing—no personal data, usage analytics, or diagnostics | Nowhere (the app has no Internet permission) | We don't |
SnapSafe does not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII), usage data, or any other kind of data whatsoever. All photos and videos remain solely on your device, unless you explicitly share them.
The app's manifest deliberately omits android.permission.INTERNET. Consequently, SnapSafe is technically incapable of connecting to the Internet, cloud services, or third‑party APIs.
SnapSafe operates entirely within its private app storage for saving images you capture. It does not request broad file‑system access (e.g., MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) and never reads files outside its own sandbox.
android.permission.CAMERA – required to capture photos and video.android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION – Users can optionally grant this permission if they want obfuscated location data saved with their photos.android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION – Users can optionally grant this permission if they want precise location data saved with their photos.No other runtime permissions are requested.
None. SnapSafe is 100% open source and contains no advertising or analytics libraries.
If SnapSafe's behavior ever changes in a way that affects privacy, this document will be updated in the source repository and a new release will note those changes.
