Privacy Policy for SnapCounter

Last updated: 13 April 2026

SnapCounter (“the App”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) respects your privacy.

This Privacy Policy explains how SnapCounter handles information when you use the App.

1. Overview

SnapCounter is a photo-based counting app that allows users to load or capture images, create counting projects, place markers, organise counts by category, and export results.

We aim to keep data handling limited, transparent, and appropriate to the App’s functionality.

2. Information the App Processes

Depending on how you use the App, SnapCounter may process the following types of information:

a) Images and project content

The App allows you to:

• import images from your device,
• capture images using your device camera,
• create counting projects,
• place markers and organise them by category,
• export annotated images and count summaries.

These images and project files are used to provide the core functionality of the App.

b) Device permissions

SnapCounter may request access to:

• Camera, if you choose to take a photo within the App;
• Photos / Media / Files / Storage, if needed to import images, save projects, or export files.

These permissions are only used for the intended features of the App.

c) Purchase information

If you choose to purchase a paid feature or upgrade, payment processing is handled by Google Play and its payment services. SnapCounter does not directly collect or store your full payment card details.

d) Analytics and technical data

SnapCounter uses Firebase Analytics to help us understand app usage, improve the user experience, and monitor general app performance.

This may include technical and usage-related information such as:

• app interactions,
• device and app information,
• general usage data,
• approximate diagnostics related to app performance and engagement.

3. How Information Is Used

SnapCounter uses information to:

• provide the App’s core features;
• allow image import, capture, editing, and export;
• save and manage counting projects on your device;
• enable paid features purchased through Google Play;
• understand how the App is used;
• improve functionality, usability, and performance.

4. Data Sharing

SnapCounter does not sell your personal data.

Your images, counting projects, and exported files are primarily processed locally on your device and are not intentionally shared with us.

However, certain technical and usage data may be processed by third-party service providers that support the operation of the App, including:

• Google Play, for app distribution, licensing, and in-app purchase processing;
• Firebase Analytics, for analytics and app usage insights.

These third-party providers may process data according to their own privacy policies.

5. Data Storage

SnapCounter is designed primarily to work locally on your device.

Your images, counting projects, markers, and exported files are stored on your device unless you choose to move, back up, or share them yourself using services outside the App.

Analytics-related data collected through Firebase Analytics may be processed and stored by Google in accordance with Firebase and Google policies.

6. Data Retention

Locally stored data remains on your device until you delete it or uninstall the App.

Data processed through third-party analytics services is retained according to the policies and settings of those providers.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the App.
