Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how SnapGuide (“SnapGuide,” “the App,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, stores, processes, and shares information when you use the App.

SnapGuide is provided by Chengdu Nebula Scroll Technology Co.

SnapGuide helps users analyze reference photographs using artificial intelligence and convert them into step-by-step photography guidance.

If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the App.

1. Information We Collect and Process

Depending on how you use SnapGuide, we may collect or process the following categories of information.

1.1 Reference Photos

When you use SnapGuide’s AI photography guidance features, you may select or submit a photograph for analysis.

The photograph may contain people, faces, locations, objects, surroundings, clothing, or other visible information.

Reference photos are processed so that SnapGuide can analyze elements such as composition, subject placement, camera position, shooting distance, perspective, lighting, posing, and other visual characteristics needed to generate photography guidance.

Please only submit photos that you have the right or permission to use. Avoid submitting sensitive personal information, identification documents, payment cards, addresses, or other information that you do not want processed by third-party AI services.

1.2 AI Analysis and Generated Content

SnapGuide may generate and process information derived from a reference photo, including:

• A title describing the reference shot;
• Suggested items or preparation needed before shooting;
• Step-by-step photography instructions;
• Information about composition, camera position, distance, angle, subject placement, pose, lighting, or similar photography characteristics;
• Structured information used to create photography guidance;
• An AI-generated instructional sketch or illustration.

AI-generated results are produced automatically and may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unsuitable for a particular situation.

1.3 Saved Photography Guides

If you choose to save a photography guide to your SnapGuide library, the App may store the following information locally on your device:

• The reference photo;
• The AI-generated instructional image;
• The generated title;
• Preparation instructions;
• Step-by-step shooting instructions;
• The date and time the guide was saved;
• Internal identifiers used to organize saved guides.

This information is used to display and manage your saved photography guides.

Saving a guide is optional.

1.4 Subscription and Purchase Information

SnapGuide may offer paid features through SnapGuide Pro.

Purchases are processed through Apple’s App Store and subscription and entitlement information is managed with RevenueCat.

Depending on your purchase activity, Apple and RevenueCat may process information such as:

• Product purchased;
• Purchase history;
• Subscription status;
• Subscription start and expiration information;
• Renewal or cancellation status;
• Trial eligibility or trial status;
• Transaction or receipt information;
• Entitlement status;
• An anonymous RevenueCat App User ID;
• Device type and operating system information associated with subscription services.

RevenueCat may generate an anonymous identifier for your installation when the RevenueCat SDK is initialized.

SnapGuide does not receive your full payment card number or full payment credentials from Apple.

1.5 App and Device Information

SnapGuide uses Firebase services to provide AI functionality and may process limited technical information necessary to operate those services.

Depending on Firebase configuration and platform behavior, this may include:

• App version;
• Device type;
• Operating system version;
• Firebase project or installation-related information;
• Request information;
• Security or app-integrity information;
• App Check or device attestation information where applicable;
• Technical information necessary to detect misuse or protect AI services.

SnapGuide does not currently use Firebase Analytics to collect behavioral analytics through the App.

Future versions may change the services used. If a change materially affects how personal information is collected or processed, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.

1.6 Local App Preferences

SnapGuide may store limited information locally on your device to remember App state and preferences, such as onboarding completion, feature state, or similar settings required for normal App operation.

2. How We Use Information

We use information described in this Privacy Policy to:

• Analyze reference photographs;
• Generate photography preparation instructions and step-by-step shooting guidance;
• Generate AI-powered instructional illustrations;
• Display and manage photography guides that you choose to save;
• Provide and verify SnapGuide Pro features;
• Process and restore purchases;
• Maintain subscription entitlements;
• Operate, maintain, secure, and troubleshoot the App;
• Prevent fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, and misuse;
• Respond to support or privacy requests;
• Comply with legal, regulatory, platform, and App Store requirements.

We do not sell your reference photos or saved photography guides.

We do not use submitted photographs for the purpose of identifying the people appearing in them.

3. AI Processing and Google/Firebase Services

SnapGuide uses Firebase AI Logic and Google Gemini-related services to provide AI-powered photography analysis and image generation.

When you submit a reference photograph for AI analysis, the photograph and related request information are transmitted to Google/Firebase services so that the selected Gemini model can process the image and generate a response.

Generated information may then be used to create photography instructions and an AI-generated instructional illustration.

Google/Firebase may process request information according to its applicable terms, privacy policies, data-governance practices, and Gemini API terms.

SnapGuide does not control the independent data-processing practices, infrastructure, or retention policies of Google or Firebase.

By using SnapGuide’s AI features, you understand that the photographs and related prompts or generated information necessary to provide those features may be processed by Google/Firebase.

4. RevenueCat

SnapGuide uses RevenueCat to manage purchases, subscription entitlements, offerings, purchase restoration, and SnapGuide Pro access.

RevenueCat may process purchase history, Apple transaction or receipt information, anonymous user identifiers, device information, product identifiers, subscription status, and other technical information required to provide its services.

RevenueCat processes this information according to its own privacy policy and applicable service terms.

We use RevenueCat information primarily to:

• Determine whether SnapGuide Pro is active;
• Display available purchase options;
• Complete and verify purchases;
• Restore purchases;
• Maintain subscription access;
• Diagnose subscription-related problems;
• Prevent payment or entitlement abuse.

5. Apple Services

Payments, subscriptions, renewals, cancellations, refunds, purchase restoration, and other App Store transactions are provided by Apple.

Apple may process payment information, Apple ID information, device information, transaction information, purchase history, and other information according to Apple’s own privacy policy and applicable terms.

We do not control Apple’s data-processing practices.

6. Local Storage

Saved SnapGuide photography guides are stored locally using Apple platform storage technologies.

Local data may include your:

• Reference photographs;
• AI-generated instructional images;
• Guide titles;
• Preparation instructions;
• Shooting steps;
• Save dates and identifiers.

Local information generally remains on your device until you delete the corresponding guide, remove the App, erase your device, or otherwise remove the relevant data.

Depending on your Apple and iCloud backup configuration, locally stored App data may also be included in device backups.

We do not operate a SnapGuide user account or cloud library for saved photography guides in the current version of the App.

7. Data Sharing

We may disclose or allow information to be processed by the following categories of third parties when necessary to provide SnapGuide:

• Google/Firebase, for AI analysis, AI-generated images, service infrastructure, app integrity, and security;
• RevenueCat, for purchases, subscription management, entitlements, and purchase restoration;
• Apple, for App Store purchases, billing, subscriptions, refunds, device services, and platform functionality;
• Service providers that may assist with infrastructure, customer support, security, or legal compliance;
• Government authorities, courts, regulators, or other parties where disclosure is required by applicable law or valid legal process, or where reasonably necessary to protect legal rights, safety, or security.

We do not sell your reference photographs or saved photography guides.

We do not share personal information with third parties for third-party targeted advertising.

8. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide SnapGuide, fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce agreements.

Saved photography guides stored locally remain on your device until you delete them, remove the App, or otherwise remove the App’s local data.

Information processed by Google/Firebase, RevenueCat, and Apple may be retained according to those companies’ respective policies, service terms, legal obligations, and technical requirements.

9. Deleting Your Data

You can remove saved photography guides through the App where deletion functionality is available.

You can also remove locally stored SnapGuide data by deleting the App from your device.

Removing SnapGuide does not automatically cancel an active subscription.

Subscriptions must be managed or canceled through your Apple ID or App Store subscription settings.

For assistance with privacy or data-deletion requests, contact us at:

xyhj000@gmail.com

Because SnapGuide currently does not maintain a user account or cloud-based SnapGuide library, some data may exist only on your device and may not be accessible to us.

Third-party providers such as Apple, Google/Firebase, and RevenueCat may require you to exercise certain privacy or deletion rights directly through their respective services.

10. Your Choices and Privacy Rights

You may control certain information and permissions through SnapGuide, iOS, and your Apple ID settings.

Depending on where you live, applicable privacy laws may also provide rights such as access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection to certain processing, or withdrawal of consent.

You may contact us if you wish to exercise a privacy right relating to information under our control.

Some SnapGuide functionality may not operate if required permissions, network access, AI services, or purchase services are disabled.

11. User Photos and Other People

Photographs submitted to SnapGuide may contain images of other people.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have any rights, permissions, or lawful basis necessary to submit those photographs for AI processing.

Please consider the privacy of other people before uploading photographs containing identifiable individuals.

Do not use SnapGuide to process photographs in a manner that violates another person’s privacy, publicity, intellectual property, or other legal rights.

12. Children’s Privacy

SnapGuide is not directed to children under 13 or to children below the minimum age required to consent to data processing in their jurisdiction.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information through SnapGuide without appropriate authorization, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.

13. International Users

SnapGuide may be used in multiple countries and regions.

Information submitted through AI, subscription, or platform services may be processed in countries other than the country where you live, including locations where Google/Firebase, RevenueCat, Apple, or their service providers operate.

Privacy and data-protection laws may differ between jurisdictions.

Where required by applicable law, service providers may use appropriate safeguards for international data transfers.

14. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information associated with SnapGuide.

However, no application, network, device, storage system, or online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device, device passcode, Apple ID, and associated accounts.

15. Third-Party Policies

The operation of SnapGuide depends in part on third-party services.

Your information may therefore also be subject to the privacy policies and terms of:

• Apple;
• Google and Firebase;
• RevenueCat.

These companies operate independently and may update their practices from time to time.

16. No Sale of Personal Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We do not sell your reference photographs or AI-generated photography guides.

We do not use your photographs for third-party advertising.

17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

When we make changes, we will update the Effective Date shown at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.

Where required by law, we may provide additional notice regarding material changes.

Your continued use of SnapGuide after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the updated policy to the extent permitted by applicable law.
