Privacy Policy

Effective Date: December 17, 2024
This Privacy Policy describes Snippet Buddy's information practices for its website, browser extension, and applications. We take your privacy seriously and want you to understand exactly what information we collect, how we process that information, which pieces of information you can request us to remove, and how to contact us about this policy. Please read this policy carefully.

When it comes to your personal information, most of this policy applies to users who choose to donate to support Snippet Buddy or purchase one of our paid products. If all you do is use the extension then you're practically, except for an anonymous, unique ID, invisible to us.

What is personal information?

The purpose of data protection is to protect personal information. Personal information means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular, by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. This information includes, for example, details such as name and email address, but also information in connection with payments.

Information Snippet Buddy Collects

Personal Information

When you visit the Snippet Buddy website we collect IP address, unique ID, logging of some of the button clicks on our website (clicking download, for example) and user event logging data.

When you donate from the Snippet Buddy website, we collect and store all information, excluding the credit card number, given during the payment process. This includes IP address, unique ID, logging some of the button clicks (payment, download buttons) and user event logging. Snippet Buddy does not handle or have access to full credit card numbers, bank account details or payment account login information. Each payment processor stores and uses the data you provide them differently.

Snippet Buddy uses Stripe as a payment processor when you donate to Snippet Buddy. To learn more about their data collection policies, please consult their privacy policy when using them.

Snippet Buddy Pro

When you purchase or otherwise obtain a Snippet Buddy Pro license Snippet Buddy will store information regarding the license, including: unique extension identifiers associated with the license, email associated with the license, last license check timestamp and license status. This data will be stored during the active lifetime of the license and for a period after cancellation.

The same data that is stored when you make a donation to Snippet Buddy is stored when you purchase Pro.

Google Analytics

Snippet Buddy uses Google Analytics for non-EU/EEA users only to aggregate information about traffic patterns and how our website, extensions, and mobile applications are used. We limit the data sent to Google Analytics, and only do so to improve our extension and website. You can find information about Google Analytics’ data collection practices on their website.

How Snippet Buddy processes and discloses collected information

We try to make Snippet Buddy better

We use the collected usage and analytics information to maintain and improve the Snippet Buddy extension and website, gain insight into how our services are being used, and in our efforts to prevent fraud. The information is only used internally.

How Snippet Buddy processes and discloses collected information

Your information is not for sale

Snippet Buddy never has and never will sell your personal information to any third party without your consent. We sometimes share anonymized and aggregated information that cannot be associated with an individual with third parties or the public.

External services

Snippet Buddy may use external services that may require you to enter personal information. Snippet Buddy has used other services in the past and may use more in the future. We do not control the data on these external services and can not remove or delete the data; any data given to external services is not bound by this policy, and you should read the external service's privacy policy before providing any information.

Changes and updates to this policy

Snippet Buddy reserves the right to change this policy for any reason, and may make small, inconsequential changes to this policy with or without notice. Each time this policy is changed we will revise the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. When substantial changes are made to the disclosure of your personal information Snippet Buddy will attempt to notify you through the email that was provided during the payment process. Your continued use of the Snippet Buddy website or browser extension constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy and any revisions or updates.
