1. Introduction

Welcome to ShotSnap ("we," "our," or "us"). ShotSnap is a screenshot application designed for macOS that helps you capture, analyze, and organize screenshots with AI-powered intelligence. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your data.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our macOS application. Please read this policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your data.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Screenshots and Screen Recordings

ShotSnap requires screen recording permissions to capture screenshots on your Mac. All screenshots are stored locally on your device. We do not upload or transmit your screenshots to any servers.

2.2 File System Access

To organize and save your screenshots, ShotSnap requires access to your file system. This access is limited to folders you explicitly grant permission to access. We only access files and folders necessary for the app's functionality.

2.3 Usage Data

We may collect anonymous usage statistics to improve the app, such as:

  • Feature usage frequency
  • App performance metrics
  • Crash reports and error logs
  • Device information (macOS version, device model)

This data is anonymized and cannot be used to identify you personally.

2.4 AI Processing

When you use AI-powered features (such as image analysis, text extraction, or smart categorization), your screenshots may be processed by AI services via API calls. Screenshots are transmitted securely for processing only, and are not stored by the AI service provider after processing. All processed data remains on your local device.

Local Storage: All screenshots are stored locally on your Mac. We use macOS's standard file system permissions and security features to protect your data. We do not store any of your screenshots or data on cloud servers.

Security Measures: We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. All data remains on your local device under your control.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information or screenshots to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

  • AI Service Providers: When using AI features, we may share screenshots with third-party AI service providers for processing. These providers are contractually obligated to process data securely and not store it after processing.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or in response to valid legal requests.
  • Service Providers: We may share anonymized usage data with service providers who help us operate the app (e.g., analytics, crash reporting).

  • Access: You can access all screenshots stored locally on your device at any time.
  • Deletion: You can delete screenshots at any time through the app or by deleting files from your file system.
