Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 2026
This Privacy Policy is issued by the Individual Developer of Snaptap Translate ("we", "us", or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy.
Core Privacy Promise: As an individual developer, I do not have servers to store your private data. The screen content captured via MediaProjection API is processed in real-time for translation only. We do not record, save, or upload your screenshots to any private server.
1. Information Collection
We collect minimal data via third-party SDKs to provide and improve our services:
- Account Info: We use Google Login (Firebase Auth). We collect your Name, Email, and User ID solely for authentication and account management.
- Voice Data: Our App collects voice recordings only when you use the Speech-to-Text feature. This data is processed in real-time for transcription and is not stored or recorded on our servers.
- Subscription & Payments: We process subscriptions through Google Play Billing. We retain necessary transaction records to provide and verify your membership services. We do not store your credit card info.
- Identifiers: Google Advertising ID (GAID) used by AdMob for ad delivery and frequency capping.
- Analytics: Anonymous technical data (device model, crash logs) provided by Firebase to fix bugs.
2. Third-Party Services
The App uses third-party services that may collect information used to identify you:
3. Permissions
- Screen Capture: Mandatory for the "Translate" function. Data is volatile and deleted immediately after text recognition.
- Microphone: Used only for the Speech-to-Text feature with user consent.
- Network: To communicate with translation engines, billing services, and ad providers.
4. Account Deletion
Data Deletion Request: Users can request the deletion of their account and associated data (such as Email and User ID provided via Google Login) by sending an email to dawsonchow063@gmail.com. We will process your request and delete the data from our Firebase systems within 30 days.
5. Children's Privacy
This App does not address anyone under the age of 13. I do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children.
