Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2026
At SnapUtil ("we", "our", or "us"), we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website at snaputil.app and all associated tools and services. SnapUtil is designed with a privacy-first approach — the vast majority of our tools process your data entirely within your web browser, meaning your data never reaches our servers.
SnapUtil is fundamentally different from most online tool platforms because we prioritize client-side (browser-based) processing. Here is how your data is handled:
- Browser-side processing: The overwhelming majority of SnapUtil tools process your data entirely within your web browser using JavaScript. This means your text, files, images, and other inputs are never transmitted to or stored on our servers. When you format JSON, convert colors, generate passwords, count characters, or use most other tools, all processing happens locally on your device.
- No server-side storage of user data: We do not store, log, or retain any data that you input into our tools. Once you close or refresh the page, your data exists only on your own device.
- No user accounts: SnapUtil does not require you to create an account, sign in, or provide any personal information to use our tools. We do not collect names, email addresses, or other personally identifiable information through the use of our tools.
- Temporary processing: In the rare cases where server-side processing may be involved (such as certain API-based tools), data is processed in real-time and immediately discarded. It is never stored, logged, or associated with any identifier.
SnapUtil uses a minimal number of cookies to ensure basic functionality and improve your experience:
Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They include cookies for locale/language preference, theme preference (light/dark mode), and cookie consent status. These cannot be disabled as they are required for basic site operation.
Analytics cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website in aggregate. This helps us improve the platform and prioritize new tools. Analytics data is anonymized and does not contain personally identifiable information.
Advertising cookies
Our site displays advertisements to support the free service. Ad networks may use cookies to serve relevant ads. You can manage your ad preferences through your browser settings or the cookie consent banner.
We use web analytics services to collect anonymized, aggregated data about how our website is used. This includes:
- •Pages visited and tools used (without any connection to your personal identity)
- •General geographic region (country-level, derived from IP address which is then discarded)
- •Browser type, device type, and operating system
- •Referral sources (how you found our website)
- •Session duration and page interaction patterns
SnapUtil is a free service supported by advertising. We work with third-party advertising partners who may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads on our site. These partners may collect information about your browsing activities across different websites to provide targeted advertising. You can opt out of personalized advertising through the cookie consent banner displayed on your first visit, or by adjusting your browser settings. Even with personalized ads disabled, you will still see advertisements, but they will not be tailored to your interests.
Our website may contain links to other websites or embed third-party content. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party services. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with through our platform.
SnapUtil is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to remove such information.
Since SnapUtil collects minimal data and processes everything in your browser, your data is inherently under your control. However, depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:
- •The right to access any personal data we hold about you
- •The right to request deletion of any personal data
- •The right to opt out of analytics tracking and personalized advertising
- •The right to withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time
- •The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us at support@snaputil.app.
