Privacy Policy
How SnapAura protects your data and privacy
🔒 Privacy First: SnapAura processes all your screenshots locally in your browser. We never upload, store, or transmit your images to external servers.
Information We Collect
SnapAura collects minimal information to provide its screenshot editing services:
- Local Image Processing: Screenshots you capture or upload are processed entirely within your browser
- User Preferences: Settings like background choices, borders, and effects (stored locally in your browser)
- Premium Status: Payment and subscription information through our secure payment processor ExtensionPay
How We Use Your Information
Screenshots and Images
All screenshot editing, background application, and effect processing happens locally in your browser. Your images never leave your device unless you explicitly choose to download or share them.
User Settings
Your preferences (gradient choices, border settings, etc.) are stored locally using Chrome's storage API to maintain your settings between sessions.
Premium Features
When you purchase premium access, we only collect the minimum information necessary to verify your payment and unlock premium features.
