📅 Effective Date

Package Name: com.farkode.replysnap

🛡️ Our Core Promise

🔒 Reply Snap is a 100% offline application. Your data never leaves your device. We do not collect, store, transmit, or sell any personal information to any server, cloud service, or third party.

🚫 Information We Do NOT Collect

Reply Snap does not collect any of the following:

⚙️ How the App Works

Reply Snap allows users to take or select a screenshot of a chat conversation, extract the text using on-device Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and generate contextual reply suggestions — all processed entirely on the user's device.

Process Where It Happens Data Sent to Server?
Screenshot text extraction (OCR) On-device (Google ML Kit) ❌ No
Reply generation On-device (local templates) ❌ No
Reply history storage On-device (Hive local database) ❌ No
Favorites On-device (Hive local database) ❌ No
Language & tone preferences On-device (Hive local database) ❌ No

🔐 Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Protection

When text is extracted from screenshots, the App automatically detects and redacts sensitive information before storing anything in the local reply history. This includes:

✅ This redaction happens entirely on your device. No PII is ever stored in the reply history database, even locally.

📡 Third-Party Services

Reply Snap integrates the following third-party services, which have their own privacy policies:

Service Purpose Data Collected by Service
Google AdMob Banner and rewarded video advertisements Advertising ID, device info, interaction data (by Google)
Google Firebase Analytics Anonymous app usage analytics App opens, session duration, crash reports (by Google)
Google ML Kit On-device text recognition (OCR) None — fully processed on-device

⚠️ Google AdMob and Firebase may collect anonymous device-level data as described in Google's Privacy Policy. Reply Snap does not control this data collection and does not have access to any personally identifiable data collected by these services.

📺 Advertisements

Reply Snap displays advertisements through Google AdMob to support the free availability of the App. These ads may include:

Users are never forced to watch ads. If an ad fails to load or the device is offline, the App continues to function normally without blocking access.

🔑 App Permissions

Permission Why It's Needed

🗄️ Data Retention & Deletion

All data generated by Reply Snap (reply history, favorites, preferences) is stored exclusively on your device using an encrypted local database (Hive).

👶 Children's Privacy

Reply Snap is rated for Everyone and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. The App does not require account creation, login, or any form of personal data input.
