1. Overview
The party operating WifiSnap(the “Service”) (the “Operator”) respects your privacy and processes personal information in line with applicable law. This policy applies to the mobile app and this promotional website (together, the “Service Channels”).
2. Information we process
2.1 On your device
- Camera and photos: Images you capture of Wi‑Fi signage or choose from your library for parsing and QR reading.
- Network and connectivity: Wi‑Fi SSIDs, connection state, and speed-test results, within what the operating system exposes to the app. A speed test may request a public test file over HTTPS to measure download performance; that does not give the Operator access to your general browsing history.
- History you save: SSIDs and passwords (or related fields) you choose to keep in the app's on-device history (e.g. local database). This stays on your device unless you use device backup or transfer features offered by the OS.
- Device and app context: OS version, app version, language, and similar technical data the app needs to run and to show system permission prompts.
2.2 Cloud-assisted analysis of images
When you use features that analyze a photo to suggest Wi‑Fi credentials, the app may send the image (or a region of it) to cloud services the Operator or its service providers operate, over an encrypted connection. A third party may process the content to return structured information to the app. The specific service providers and routing(including whether processing passes through the Operator’s own systems) may change over time and are not itemized in this public policy. Those processors handle data under their own privacy terms for that processing, in addition to this document where applicable.
2.3 Text in images (OCR and similar)
iOS / Android: The app may use on-device and platform capabilities to read text from the camera, photos, or still frames, and in some cases may use additional cloud or third-party servicesdepending on the build and configuration. Use of a third party is subject to that provider’s terms.
2.4 Usage analytics in the mobile apps (iOS and Android)
The mobile apps may include usage and analytics features (often in aggregated or pseudonymous form) that help understand how the app is used and to improve stability. The underlying product may be provided by a platform vendor. You may limit related options or reset advertising identifiers where your device and OS allow.
2.5 Advertising — iOS and Android
The iOS and Android apps display banner advertisements through a major mobile ad network. To deliver and measure ads, that network may process identifiers (such as advertising-related IDs where available), coarse device and app information, IP-related signals, and diagnostics. If the network is operated by Google, see also Google's Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. The Operator does not receive a copy of your Wi‑Fi passwords or camera images from the ad network solely because ads are shown. You can use system privacy and advertising settings (for example, limiting ad tracking or resetting identifiers) where Apple or Google provide them.
iOS: The app may use Apple’s App Tracking Transparency (ATT)prompt when the system and the ad network’s software require your choice before using the advertising identifier (IDFA) for certain cross-app advertising or measurement. You can review or change tracking choices in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking and related ad privacy settings. Denying or limiting tracking does not necessarily remove all ads, but it may change how they are personalized.
2.6 This website
The promotional site does not offer user accounts. We use privacy-oriented web analytics on this site to measure page views and related traffic in aggregate; the vendor may provide its own description of data practices. Access logs (for example IP address, User-Agent, timestamps) may still be created by hosting or CDN providers.
3. Purposes of processing
- Extracting Wi‑Fi network names and passwords (or keys) from images and QR codes
- Cloud and on-device analysis of images and text as described in section 2
- Helping you connect using information the OS provides
- Speed tests and related quality features
- Showing and measuring advertisements in the mobile apps, and understanding app usage and improving stability (including analytics in the apps and on this website)
- Security, abuse prevention, and legal compliance
4. Retention and deletion
- Cloud analysis: Content sent for cloud-assisted analysis is processed to return a result to the app. How long it is held, and in what form, depends on the relevant providers and our configuration; the Operator does not use this public policy to describe every technical log or retention default.
- On-device history: Retained until you delete it in the app, clear app data, or remove the app, subject to OS backup behavior.
- Third parties (e.g. advertising, analytics, cloud and platform services): Retention and deletion follow the applicable third party’s terms and policies.
- Website logs and analytics: Retained according to the hosting, analytics, and CDN configuration we use.
5. Sharing and processors
We do not sell or rent personal information. We use service providers who process data on our behalf, including:
- Cloud infrastructure and analysis — providers we use to host, route, or process data for app features (including image-related processing). Specific vendors and tools may change and are not necessarily listed in public marketing materials.
- Platform and advertising partners — for example Googlewhen the apps use Google’s ad or analytics services; other device or OS vendors and app stores (including Apple and Google) as part of running and distributing the apps
- Website and analytics hosting — providers we use to host and measure traffic on this promotional site
We rely on contractual and technical safeguards where available. Subprocessors may change; material changes will be reflected in this policy or in-app notices when appropriate.
6. Your rights
Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or other rights. Contact us via the email below (and use device or app controls for on-device data). We will respond within a reasonable scope and timeframe.
7. Children
The Service is not directed at children as a primary audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate parental consent where required.
8. Security
We use technical and organizational measures—including access control, encryption in transit (e.g. HTTPS), and careful handling of credentials and configuration—to reduce the risk of loss, theft, leakage, or tampering.
