Introduction

Welcome to Snipit. This Privacy Policy explains how Snipit ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your information when you use our browser extension, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service").

Snipit is an AI-powered tool that provides instant product summaries to help users make informed purchasing decisions. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

Key Point: We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We only collect what's necessary to provide and improve our service.

Third-Party Services

Payment processing is handled by Stripe. We never store your full credit card information on our servers. Stripe's privacy practices can be found at stripe.com/privacy.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic and usage patterns. This data is anonymized and aggregated.

NextAuth.js

We use NextAuth.js for authentication, which may integrate with third-party identity providers (e.g., Google, GitHub) if you choose to sign in with those services.

Data Storage & Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including:

  • Encryption of data in transit (HTTPS/TLS)
  • Secure cloud infrastructure with access controls
  • Regular security audits and updates
  • Limited employee access to personal data on a need-to-know basis

While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
