Privacy Policy
In short: Snapshy frames, styles, redacts and stitches your screenshots on your device. Your screenshots are never uploaded to us. Snapshy has no accounts and shows no ads. Usage statistics, the advertising ID and crash reports are sent only if you allow them. The App gets its settings from Google Firebase and sells Snapshy Pro through Google Play. Request deletion of your data.
1. Who We Are
Snapshy: Screenshot Editor (the “App”, package com.gray.snapshy on Google Play) is developed and published by Mondrus CCS Inc (“Mondrus”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). Mondrus is the data controller for the information described in this Policy. Privacy questions and requests may be sent to snapshy@mondoapps.app.
2. Information That Stays on Your Device
2.1 Screenshots and pictures
You choose screenshots and photos with the Android photo picker. The App reads only the pictures you pick and keeps working copies of them in its private storage to build your projects. It frames them, adds backgrounds, text, stickers and drawings, covers what you choose to hide, stitches several screenshots into one, and saves the result to your gallery in the folder Pictures/Snapshy. Your screenshots, projects, exported images and their contents are not sent to Mondrus, Firebase or any other server.
2.2 Text and face detection
To let you cover words and faces with a tap, the App finds the text and the faces on a screenshot on your device, with Google ML Kit text recognition (its model is part of the App) and ML Kit face detection (Google Play services delivers its model to your device). The words, boxes and faces it finds stay on the device, are used only to place covers where you tap, and are not used to identify anyone.
2.3 Projects and settings
Your projects (the screenshot copies, template, layers and edits), recent colors and stickers, your preferences, consent answer, onboarding and trial reminder state, and your purchase status are stored in the App’s private storage on your device.
2.4 Backup
Android may back up the App’s settings to your Google account under your device’s backup settings; your projects and screenshots are not included in that backup.
2.5 Sharing
When you tap Instagram or Share, the App hands the saved image to that app or to the system share sheet. The app you choose receives the file under its own terms and privacy policy. We do not receive a copy.
3. Information That Leaves Your Device
| Data | Recipient | Purpose | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| App interactions (for example, a template or tool used, a redact or stitch done, an export, onboarding steps, paywall views and purchase steps), app and device information, approximate location derived from the IP address, a pseudonymous app-instance identifier and the Android advertising ID | Google Firebase / Google Analytics | Understand how features are used, improve the App, and measure which campaigns bring new users | Only if you allow usage statistics |
| Crash reports and diagnostics: stack traces, device model, Android and App version, memory and disk state, and the Firebase installation identifier | Google Firebase Crashlytics | Find and fix crashes | Only if you allow usage statistics |
| Firebase installation identifier, App version, country and language, and request information | Google Firebase Remote Config and Installations | Retrieve operational settings for the App, for example when the paywall or a reminder is shown | Always |
| Purchase and subscription information | Google Play | Sell Snapshy Pro and confirm your purchase on the device | When you buy or restore |
| A request to show the rating sheet | Google Play In-App Review | Let you rate the App without leaving it | After a successful export, at most every 30 days |
3.1 Usage statistics and crash reports
On first launch the App asks whether it may send anonymous usage statistics and crash reports. Nothing is sent to Firebase Analytics or Crashlytics until you tap Allow. You can change your choice at any time in Settings → Privacy. Events never contain your screenshots, the text on them, texts you typed, file names or file paths. Analytics data is linked to an installation of the App, not to your name or email address.
3.2 Advertising ID
The App shows no ads. If you allow usage statistics, Firebase Analytics reads the Android advertising ID to measure app usage and which advertising campaigns bring new installs. Without your consent the advertising ID is not read or sent. Ad personalization signals are turned off. You can reset or delete the advertising ID at any time in Android settings (Google → Ads, or Privacy → Ads).
3.3 Purchases
Snapshy Pro is a weekly or yearly subscription that may start with a free trial. Google Play sells, bills and manages it. The App reads your purchases from Google Play to unlock Pro on your device. We do not receive your payment card details, and we do not send purchases to our own server.
4. Device Permissions
| Permission | How Snapshy uses it |
|---|---|
| Photo picker (no storage permission) | Open only the pictures you pick. |
| Saving to the gallery (no permission) | Save exported images to Pictures/Snapshy. |
| Notifications | Remind you before a free trial ends, if you turn the reminder on. The reminder is scheduled on your device. |
| Internet | Remote configuration, Google Play purchases and, with your consent, statistics and crash reports. Editing works offline. |
| Google Play Billing | Buy and restore Snapshy Pro. |
| Advertising ID | Read by Firebase Analytics, only if you allow usage statistics, to measure usage and install campaigns. |
You can revoke permissions in Android settings. Related features may then stop working.
5. How and Why We Use Information
We use information to provide the features you request, keep the App reliable, understand which features are used, improve the product, verify purchases, answer support requests, comply with law, and protect our users and our rights.
Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, our legal bases are the performance of our agreement with you for the App’s functions, including remote configuration and purchases; your consent for usage statistics and crash reports; our legitimate interests in operating and securing the App where they are not overridden by your rights; and compliance with legal obligations.
6. Service Providers and Disclosure
We do not sell personal information. We make data available only as described here:
- Google LLC: Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, Installations and Remote Config, ML Kit models through Google Play services, Google Play billing and In-App Review. See Google’s Privacy Policy and Privacy and Security in Firebase.
- Apps you share to: only the images you choose to send.
- Authorities or transaction parties: when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights and safety, investigate abuse, or complete a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, with appropriate safeguards.
7. Retention and Deletion
- On your device: projects, screenshot copies, settings and purchase status stay until you delete a project, clear the App’s storage or uninstall the App. The images you saved are your files and stay in your gallery until you delete them.
- Analytics: user-level event data is kept for no longer than 14 months; aggregated reports may be kept longer.
- Crash reports: Crashlytics keeps crash data for up to 90 days.
- Firebase installation identifiers: kept by Google under Firebase retention and deletion rules.
- Purchase records: controlled by Google under its retention rules.
- Support emails: kept only as long as needed to answer you and meet legal obligations.
- Delete your data: see Delete your Snapshy data. Uninstalling the App stops all collection and resets its Firebase identifiers on that device. Uninstalling does not cancel a subscription; cancel it in Google Play subscriptions.
8. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or port your personal data, to object to processing, to withdraw consent, and to complain to a data protection authority. To use these rights, email snapshy@mondoapps.app. Because Snapshy has no accounts, we may ask for details that help us find the data of your installation. We will not discriminate against you for using a privacy right.
California residents may request information about the categories of personal information collected, its sources, purposes and recipients, and may request access, correction or deletion. We do not sell personal information and do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
9. International Processing
Google may process the data described in this Policy in the United States and other countries where it operates. Where the law requires it, transfers rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.
10. Security
Data sent by the App travels over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Data on your device is kept in the App’s private storage, protected by Android. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we work to protect the information we handle.
11. Children
Snapshy is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy when the App, our providers or the law change. We will post the new Policy at this address and update the “Last updated” date. Where a change significantly affects how we use your information, we will tell you in the App or on this page.
