Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

SnapInsta is designed to be used without creating an account, and we deliberately collect as little personal information as possible. You can browse the Site and use our tools anonymously. The information involved in your use of the Site generally falls into two categories:

• Information you voluntarily provide. If you email us or submit a request through our Contact page, we receive the contact details and message content you choose to share so that we can respond.
• Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our servers and third-party tools automatically record certain non-personal technical data when you visit. This may include your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, referring pages, the pages you view on our Site, and the date and time of your visit. This log data helps us keep the Site secure, diagnose problems, and understand how the Site is used.

The links you paste into our tools are processed to return the media you requested and are not used to build a personal profile of you.

2. Cookies and Similar Technologies

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device. SnapInsta and our partners use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences (such as your chosen language), to measure traffic and performance, and to serve advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time, and you can set most browsers to refuse cookies. Please note that disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the Site function.

3. Advertising and Third-Party Vendor Cookies

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit the Site. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet.

4. Google AdSense and the DART Cookie

Some of the advertisements on our Site are served by Google through Google AdSense. Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our Site and other sites on the Internet. The DART cookie uses non-personally identifiable information and does not track personal information about you, such as your name, email address, or physical address.

You may review Google's advertising and privacy practices, and learn more about how Google uses data, at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

5. Your Advertising Choices and Opt-Out Options

You have several ways to control personalized advertising and opt out of interest-based ads:

• You may opt out of personalized advertising by Google by visiting Google's Ads Settings at https://www.google.com/settings/ads.
• You can opt out of interest-based advertising from many third-party vendors through the Digital Advertising Alliance at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/.
• Users in the European Union can manage their choices through the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance at https://www.youronlinechoices.eu/.
• You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

6. Analytics and Other Third-Party Services

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the Site so we can improve it. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the Site, what pages they view, and what other sites they used prior to arriving. We use this information in aggregate to improve our content and performance. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit, rather than your name or other identifying information. You can learn more about how Google handles data in Google's Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

7. How We Use Collected Information

We use the limited information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and our tools;
• Respond to your questions, feedback, and support requests;
• Monitor and analyze usage and trends to enhance performance and user experience;
• Serve and measure advertising that keeps the Site free;
• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues, abuse, and security incidents; and
• Comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties except as described in this policy or as required by law.

8. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can promptly delete it. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verified parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information.

9. Your Rights Under GDPR and CCPA

Depending on where you live, you may have specific rights regarding your personal information. If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) grants you the right to access, correct, update, or request deletion of your personal data, the right to object to or restrict certain processing, and the right to data portability. If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) grants you the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion of that information, and the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information — noting that we do not sell personal information. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in the "Contact Us" section below. We will respond to legitimate requests within the timeframes required by applicable law.

10. Data Retention

We retain automatically collected log data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, such as security, analytics, and troubleshooting, after which it is deleted or anonymized. Correspondence you send us is kept only for as long as needed to address your request and to maintain a reasonable record of our communications.

11. International Data Transfers

SnapInsta is accessible worldwide, and the third-party services we rely on, including Google, may process and store data on servers located in countries other than your own, including the United States. Data protection laws in those countries may differ from those in your jurisdiction. By using the Site, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to and processed in these locations, and we and our partners take reasonable measures to protect it in accordance with applicable law.

12. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited information handled through the Site. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

13. Links to Other Websites

Our Site and its advertisements may contain links to third-party websites that we do not operate or control. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those sites, and we encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party website you visit.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically so you stay informed about how we protect your information. Your continued use of the Site after any changes signifies your acceptance of the updated policy.
