Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

Overview

Snapshot (“we”, “our”, or “us”) provides a browser extension and related services that allow users to capture and organize public posts from the web for personal reference and research.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your data when using the Snapshot browser extension and website.

By using Snapshot, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect
1. Account Information

When you create an account or sign in, we may collect basic account information such as:

Name

Email address

Authentication provider ID (for example, Google sign-in)

This information is used solely to create and manage your account.

1. Content You Save

When you choose to save a post using the Snapshot extension, the service may collect:

Post text content

Author username or profile information

Post URL

Timestamp of capture

Screenshot of the post

Associated metadata (likes, replies, etc.)

This information is saved to your personal library so you can search and access saved posts later.

Snapshot only collects this information when you actively choose to save a post.

1. Technical and Usage Information

To maintain service functionality and security, we may collect limited technical information such as:

Browser type and version

Device type

Extension version

This data is used only to improve reliability and troubleshoot issues.

How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

Provide the Snapshot service

Store and retrieve saved posts for users

Enable search, tagging, and organization features

Improve system performance and reliability

Detect abuse, fraud, or misuse of the service

We do not use user data for advertising or profiling.

Browser Permissions and Data Access

The Snapshot browser extension requests access to certain websites (such as X.com or Twitter.com) in order to allow users to save posts directly from those pages.

The extension:

Reads content only on pages where the user triggers a save action

Does not collect unrelated page content

Does not monitor browsing history

Data Storage

Saved content and account information may be stored on secure servers to allow access across devices.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to protect user data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

Data Sharing

We do not sell or rent personal information.

We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:

With service providers that help operate the service (e.g., cloud infrastructure)

If required by law or legal process

To prevent fraud, abuse, or security threats

These parties are required to protect user data and only use it for providing the service.

Data Retention

User data is retained as long as the user maintains an account or until the data is deleted.

Users may delete saved content or request account deletion at any time.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to:

Access your personal data

Correct inaccurate data

Request deletion of your data

If you want, I can also give you a Mozilla-optimized version (much shorter) that has a higher approval success rate for Firefox Add-ons. Mozilla reviewers prefer a very explicit “we do NOT collect browsing data” wording, and I can tune it exactly for their checklist.
