Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 24, 2026

🔒 SummarySnap does not collect, store, or transmit any of your data. All text processing happens entirely on your device using Apple's on-device AI. We couldn't read your text even if we wanted to.

Overview

SummarySnap is built with privacy as a core principle. The app uses Apple's Foundation Models framework to summarize and translate text entirely on your device. No text you enter, paste, or share ever leaves your iPhone or iPad.

Data We Collect

None. SummarySnap does not collect any personal data, usage data, analytics, or telemetry of any kind. Specifically:

We do not collect your name, email, or any personal information
We do not read, store, or transmit the text you summarize
We do not track your usage patterns or behavior
We do not use any analytics SDKs or tracking tools
We do not use cookies or similar technologies
We do not share any data with third parties

On-Device Processing

All summarization and translation is performed by Apple's Foundation Models, an AI model that runs entirely on your device. This means:

Your text never leaves your device
No internet connection is required for summarization
No data is sent to any server — not ours, not Apple's, not anyone's

Data Storage

Your summaries, history, and collections are stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. This data:

Is stored only on your device
Is not backed up to any external server
Is deleted when you delete the app
Can be deleted at any time from within the app

Export

When you export summaries as PDF, Markdown, or plain text files, the export is generated locally on your device. The exported files are shared using Apple's standard share sheet — SummarySnap does not upload exports to any server.

Widgets & Spotlight

SummarySnap's Home Screen widgets and Spotlight indexing use data stored locally on your device. Widget data is shared between the app and the widget extension via a local App Group container and never leaves your device.

In-App Purchases

SummarySnap offers a one-time in-app purchase ("SummarySnap Pro") processed entirely through Apple's App Store. We do not process any payment information directly. Apple's privacy policy governs the purchase transaction.

Share Extension

When you use SummarySnap's Share Extension to summarize content from other apps (such as Safari), the shared text is processed on-device and is not transmitted anywhere. URL content fetching (to extract article text from web pages) uses a standard network request to download the webpage, but the downloaded content is only processed locally and is never sent to our servers.

Children's Privacy

SummarySnap does not collect any data from any users, including children under the age of 13. The app is safe for users of all ages.

Changes to This Policy

If we ever change this privacy policy, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Since we don't collect any data, we don't anticipate needing to make changes, but we will notify users of any material changes through an app update.
