Privacy, in plain English.
Snapped only works if you trust it. Here is exactly how we treat your face.
Your selfie is a key, not a product.
We use the selfie you upload to match you to photos. We do not sell it. We do not share it. We do not use it to train external AI models. It exists to do one job: find your photos.
You can delete everything, anytime.
One tap removes your selfie and all biometric data tied to it. Your face is no longer searchable in our system. We do not retain backups of biometric data.
You decide who can find you.
By default, only you can search for photos of you. Photographers cannot search by your name or browse a directory of faces.
Minors are protected.
Anyone under 18 has stricter defaults, no public visibility, and parental consent requirements where applicable.
We follow the strictest laws as a baseline.
That means BIPA (Illinois), GDPR (Europe), CCPA (California), and equivalent biometric laws everywhere we operate. If a stricter rule exists in your jurisdiction, we apply it everywhere.
If you're not in our database, you can't be found in it.
We do not scrape social media. We do not build face databases from public photos. We only index faces that have either uploaded a selfie themselves, or that photographers have explicitly uploaded — and even then, we only show photos to the matched subject.
We will update this page in plain English every time our policies change. No fine print, no legal traps.
