Snap Science Privacy Policy

Last Updated: Feb 8 2025

Welcome to our app ("Snap Science" or "the App"). We value your family’s privacy and want to ensure you understand how we handle any information that may come from using our services. This Privacy Policy outlines what data we do and do not collect, how we use it, and how we keep your experience safe and secure.

1. Personal Data Collection (Optional)

Snap Science is designed to be used without collecting any personally identifiable information. However, we now offer an **optional** account feature that allows users to create an account to save their progress and enhance their experience.

- If you **choose to create an account**, we collect and store your **email address** solely for the purpose of saving progress and providing access to additional features.

- **Creating an account is completely optional.** You can use the App without registering, and in that case, no personally identifiable information will be collected.

2. On-Device Processing

Our App leverages advanced AI technology to provide quick, kid-friendly answers to your questions and explain images taken with the device’s camera. All primary analysis and data processing happen on the device whenever possible.

- Images taken through the App are analyzed locally, and their content is not permanently stored off-device.

- Text queries are processed securely through our trusted AI service. Any data sent is minimized and not tied to any personal identifier.

3. Non-Identifiable Usage Data

We may use aggregated, anonymous usage patterns to improve the App’s functionality and experience. This means we might look at how often certain features are used to improve stability and educational content quality. However, these metrics contain no personal data and cannot be traced back to you or your child.

4. No Tracking or Third-Party Advertising

The App does not include third-party ads or tracking libraries. We do not track your location, browsing history, or any external activities. We are dedicated to providing a safe, ad-free learning environment.

5. Data Security

We take security seriously. Whether you use the App with or without an account, we implement industry-standard security measures to protect any data processed.

- If you create an account, your email is securely stored and protected.

- Any communication with our AI service is encrypted to maintain security.

6. Compliance with Children’s Privacy Regulations

Since personal data collection is **optional**, and the App can be used without creating an account, we comply with children’s privacy regulations (such as COPPA in the United States). The App is designed with safety features and does not require parental consent for personal data if the account feature is not used.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect improvements or changes in the App. We will post any modifications on this page with a new “Last Updated” date. We recommend reviewing the Privacy Policy from time to time.
