SnapStudy Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how this application ("the App", "we", "us") collects, uses, and protects your information.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Content You Provide

We may collect the following content that you voluntarily provide when using the App:

• Photos (e.g. textbook images)
• Audio recordings (e.g. lecture recordings)
• Text input related to summaries or practice exams
• File titles and metadata you create within the App

This content is used solely to provide AI-powered features such as summaries, learning materials, and practice exams.

1.2 Automatically Collected Information

We may automatically collect limited technical information necessary to operate the App, including:

• Device type and operating system
• App version
• Anonymous usage data (e.g. feature usage, error logs)

This information does not directly identify you.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your information is used for the following purposes:

• To generate summaries, learning content, and practice exams
• To process photos (OCR) and audio (speech-to-text)
• To store your saved recordings and generated results on your device
• To improve app performance and reliability
• To diagnose errors and prevent abuse

We do not use your content for advertising or profiling.

3. AI & Third-Party Services

To provide core functionality, the App uses third-party AI services, which may process your content temporarily:

• Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
• Speech-to-Text (audio transcription)
• AI-generated summaries and exam questions

These services process data only to perform the requested task and do not receive your identity. We do not allow third-party providers to use your data for their own purposes.

4. Data Storage & Retention

• Photos and audio recordings are stored locally on your device unless explicitly uploaded for processing.
• Generated summaries and exams may be stored locally for history access.
• Temporary processing data may be stored briefly on secure servers and deleted after processing.

You can delete your content at any time within the App.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties, except:

• When required to provide core AI functionality
• When required by law or legal process

6. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including:

• Secure transmission (HTTPS)
• Limited access to processing systems
• Separation between user identity and content

However, no system can be guaranteed 100% secure.

7. Children's Privacy

The App is designed for educational use. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under 13 without parental consent.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access your data
• Delete your data
• Stop using the App at any time

Most data can be deleted directly within the App.
