Snip ("we", "our", "the app") is a mobile application that lets you save, organize, and revisit highlights from books. This policy explains what information we collect, why, and how it's used.
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Email address | Account sign-in (passwordless magic link) |
| Highlights you save | Text, photos, and voice notes you choose to save are stored so you can access your library across sessions and devices |
| Book title / author | Organizes your highlights by book; optionally looked up via public book APIs (Google Books, Open Library) when you search |
| Usage analytics | Anonymized app usage (screens viewed, features used) to improve the product — no highlight content is included |
| Purchase status | Whether you have an active subscription, managed by Apple and our subscription platform |
When you photograph a book page or share text into Snip, the image or text is sent to our processing service to extract the highlighted text and suggest topic tags. This happens over an encrypted connection and the content is not used for any purpose other than returning your highlight to you.
You can permanently delete your account and all associated data at any time from Settings → Delete Account inside the app. This immediately and irreversibly removes your highlights, voice notes, and profile information from our systems.
We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, your data is deleted immediately — we do not keep backups beyond what's required for a short operational recovery window.
Snip is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated date.
