Privacy Policy
This policy explains what data Snippets handles today, where it is stored, and how limited service data is used to keep the product running reliably.
Overview
Snippets is designed around a local-first model. In normal use, notes and related content are stored on the user's own device unless the user chooses an external sync option.
We aim to keep data collection limited to what is required to operate the website, receive feedback, prevent abuse, and support optional features chosen by the user.
Data Storage and Optional Sync
Notes are stored locally on the user's device by default. Users may optionally enable synchronization using the local file system or a GitHub repository under their own GitHub account.
If GitHub sync is enabled, synced content is stored and processed by GitHub under the user's own GitHub setup and is subject to GitHub's terms and privacy practices.
User Accounts
Snippets does not currently require users to create an account to use the app. Future versions may introduce account-based features, and this policy will be updated if that happens.
Network Requests and Feedback
The app uses a small number of backend endpoints, for example to submit feedback or similar service requests.
For those requests, the client's IP address may be processed to prevent abuse, apply rate limits, and protect service stability. Feedback content is stored as submitted so it can be reviewed and acted on.
Website Analytics, Cookies, and Trackers
The Snippets website uses limited first-party analytics to understand basic website usage and interest in downloads. In particular, the landing page may send events when it is visited, when a visitor scrolls substantially through it, when a download button is clicked, and when a browser referrer is available.
These analytics events are sent directly to a Snippets-owned backend endpoint. They are not used for advertising or cross-site behavioral profiling, and the website does not use cookies for analytics or marketing.
Like any standard web request, analytics requests may include technical information such as the client's IP address and request metadata processed by the receiving infrastructure.
Hosting and Sharing
Data collected through backend service endpoints is hosted on Amazon Web Services. That data is not sold and is not shared with third parties except as needed to operate the service infrastructure used by Snippets.
Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated as Snippets evolves, including when new product features, authentication, or additional online services are introduced.
