Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Snap Tools ("we", "our", or "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal privacy and the confidentiality of your data. This comprehensive Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website (Snap Tools) and use our suite of digital utilities.

Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.

2. Data We Do NOT Collect (File Processing)

Because of our unique client-side architecture, we do not have access to the files you process. Specifically:

• No File Uploads: When you drag and drop a PDF, image, or SVG into our tools, it is loaded directly into your device's RAM via the HTML5 File API.
• No Server Processing: All heavy lifting is done by JavaScript and WebAssembly (WASM) running on your own CPU.
• No Metadata Extraction: We do not log, scrape, or extract any EXIF data, text, passwords, or visual information from the files you manipulate.

3. Information We May Collect

While we do not collect your files, we may collect certain information automatically when you visit the site, or when you voluntarily provide it to us:

A. Personal Data

We do not require you to register an account. However, if you voluntarily contact us via our Contact Page, we will collect your Name and Email Address, along with the contents of your message, strictly for the purpose of responding to your customer support inquiry.

B. Derivative Data & Analytics

Our servers and third-party analytics providers (such as Google Analytics) automatically collect basic, anonymized information about your device and how you interact with our website. This may include:

• Your anonymized IP address.
• Your browser type and version.
• Your operating system.
• Pages viewed, time spent on pages, and referring URLs.

This data is used exclusively to maintain website stability, monitor traffic capacity, and improve user experience.

4. Cookies and Web Beacons

We may use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies on the Site to help customize the Site and improve your experience.

Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can remove or reject cookies in your browser's settings, but be aware that such action could affect the availability and functionality of the Site.

5. Third-Party Advertisements

To keep Snap Tools completely free for everyone, we use third-party advertising companies, specifically Google AdSense, to serve ads when you visit the Site.

• Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to Snap Tools or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your browsing history.
• You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.

6. GDPR & CCPA Compliance (Your Privacy Rights)

Even though we collect minimal data, we fully respect and comply with global privacy regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for European users and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) for California residents.

You have the right to:

• Request Access: Ask us what limited personal data (like support emails) we have on file.
• Request Deletion: Ask us to permanently delete any correspondence or data associated with you.
• Opt-Out: Decline the use of analytics or tracking cookies via your browser settings or ad network opt-out pages.

7. Policy Regarding Children

We do not knowingly solicit information from or market to children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.

8. Third-Party Technologies

Snap Tools relies on several open-source libraries that execute within your browser sandbox (e.g., pdf-lib, pdf.js). These scripts run locally and do not phone home or transmit your file data to their respective developers.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. We will alert you about any changes by updating the "Last updated" date of this Privacy Policy. You are encouraged to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed of updates.
