SnapShorts (“we”, “our”, “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have regarding your information when using our software application, SnapShorts (“Software”).

1. Information We Collect
We collect only the minimum amount of data required to provide and maintain the Software’s core functionality and enforce licensing. This includes:

1.1. License & Usage Data
License key and activation status
Video generation and upload count
Activation timestamps
Device ID (basic, non-personalized metadata like OS type, version, and IP for fraud prevention)

1.2. User-Provided Content
Images and data you upload into SnapShorts remain on your local machine.
We do not transmit or store your media files unless explicitly required for licensing or feature delivery.

1.3. Firebase Integration
We use Google Firebase services for:
License validation
Plan tracking
Secure storage of minimal metadata (e.g., license usage counters)
No personal images, videos, or content created with SnapShorts are uploaded to Firebase unless explicitly stated.

2. How We Use Your Information
We use your data for the following purposes:
To activate and verify your license
To monitor plan limits and prevent abuse
To provide updates, patches, and support
To improve software functionality and security
To notify you of changes to your subscription or important software updates

3. Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We only share data in the following situations:
With service providers like Firebase, solely for license management and data hosting
To comply with legal obligations, such as a court order or law enforcement request
In case of business transfer, such as a merger or acquisition, with appropriate safeguards

4. Data Security
We implement industry-standard encryption and secure cloud practices to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no system can be 100% secure, and we advise users to use SnapShorts responsibly.

5. Data Retention
License and usage data are retained as long as your subscription is active.
After license expiration or inactivity beyond a defined threshold (e.g., 6 months), your data may be anonymized or deleted from our servers.

6. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
Access the data we hold about you
Request correction or deletion of your data
Withdraw consent (may result in loss of access to paid features)
Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority
You can contact us directly at support@snapshorts.site for any such request.

7. Third-Party Services
SnapShorts uses Selenium to automate certain browser-based workflows (e.g., YouTube uploads). While this does not share your credentials with us, you are solely responsible for how this feature is used in accordance with third-party platforms’ terms.
SnapShorts is not affiliated with YouTube or any other third-party site. Use of automated uploaders is at your own discretion.

8. Children’s Privacy
SnapShorts is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or store data from children. If we become aware of such data, we will delete it promptly.

9. International Users
If you are using the Software from outside your home country, your data may be transferred to and stored in regions where our cloud providers operate. By using the Software, you consent to this transfer.

10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date. You are encouraged to review this policy periodically to stay informed.
