Privacy Policy
Welcome to SnapDish. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any information we collect. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data currently and how we intend to handle it as we introduce new features like web platforms and recipe sharing.

SnapDish provides a recipe storage and organization service. By using our mobile application and any future web platforms (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect
We collect information to provide a better experience for all our users.
A. Information You Provide to Us
Current (Local-First):
Currently, SnapDish does not require an account. Any recipe titles, notes, or tags you enter are stored locally on your device.
Future (Web/Account-Based):
When we introduce our web platform and sharing features, we may collect:
Account Information: Name, email address, and profile picture.
Shared Content: Recipes, screenshots, and metadata you explicitly choose to "publish" or "share" to the community library.
B. Information Collected Automatically
To improve app performance, we may collect:
Usage Data: Information on how the Service is accessed (e.g., app version, device type, and time spent in-app).
Identifiers: IP addresses, for analytics purposes.
Cookies (Web Platform): For our future web platform, we will use cookies to maintain your session and remember your preferences.
C. Image Data and OCR
On-Device Processing:
Our OCR (Optical Character Recognition) currently runs locally on your device. SnapDish does not "see" your screenshots unless you choose to upload them to a shared platform in the future.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected data for various purposes:
- To provide and maintain the Service: Ensuring your recipes stay organized.
- To enable sharing: Allowing you to view and save recipes from the community to your local library.
- To improve the Service: Analyzing usage patterns to fix bugs and design new features.
4. Data Storage and Transfer
Local Storage:
By default, your data is stored on your device. We do not have access to your private, non-shared recipes.
Cloud Storage (Future):
If you use sharing features or cross-device syncing, your data will be stored on secure servers. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of information to servers located outside your country of residence.
5. Sharing and Disclosure of Information
We do not sell your personal data. We may share information only in the following cases:
- With Your Consent: When you choose to make a recipe "Public" on our web platform.
- Service Providers: We may employ third-party companies (e.g., Firebase for database hosting) to facilitate our Service.
- Legal Requirements: If required by law to comply with legal obligations or protect our rights.
6. Third-Party Services
SnapDish is free of charge and contains no advertising. The app integrates no advertising SDKs and uses no advertising identifiers such as the IDFA on iOS or the AAID on Android.
Our future web platform may use third-party analytics (like Google Analytics) to monitor and analyze web traffic.
7. Your Data Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:
- Access/Portability: Request a copy of the data we have on you.
- Deletion: Request that we delete your account and shared recipes.
- Opt-out: Object to the processing of your data for marketing purposes.
To exercise these rights, please contact us at contact@arsoftware.tech.
If you are in the EU or the EEA, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority — normally the authority of the state where you live or work, or where the alleged infringement took place. The authority responsible for us is the Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision (Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht, BayLDA).
8. Children's Privacy
SnapDish does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it immediately.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes.
