Privacy Policy

Snapwords ("we", "us") provides a Chrome extension and web dashboard for saving and learning vocabulary.

This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data.

Data We Collect

• Email address (for login/authentication)

• Saved words and the specific text you select to add to your vocabulary

• Translations, flashcard progress, quiz results

• Device/sync data (for cross-device use)

• Streaming Immersion data: platform-specific identifiers (for example a YouTube video ID on YouTube), caption segment timestamps/text required to generate bilingual captions, and quota/usage counters (such as video streaming seconds used)

• Payment info is processed only by Stripe; we do not store card data

How We Use Your Data

• Save and sync vocabulary

• Provide quizzes, flashcards, and learning progress

• Manage subscriptions and billing

• Enforce plan limits and quotas (credits and Streaming Immersion usage)

• Prevent abuse and protect the Service (rate limiting, fraud prevention, and security monitoring)

• Improve performance and reliability

Who Has Access

Access to your data is strictly limited to Snapwords internal systems and necessary third-party processors:

• Stripe (for payment processing)

• Supabase (for database and authentication)

• Vercel (for hosting)

 

We do not sell your vocabulary data, browsing data, or personal information to any third parties.

Data Retention

Your Rights (GDPR/CCPA)

You can request at any time:

• Access to your data

Cookies & Tracking

• Essential cookies: login/authentication

• Third-party cookies: Stripe, Supabase, or other service providers

• Users can disable cookies via browser settings, but some features may not work

Children's Privacy

Snapwords is not for users under 13 (or 16 in the EU).

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Chrome Extension

Our Chrome extension processes page text on your device to highlight your saved vocabulary words. We do not collect or store a general history of the URLs you visit or the full content of web pages.

When you add a word, we collect and store only the specific text you selected (and related learning data such as translations and progress).

When you use Streaming Immersion, the extension reads the identifiers needed for that platform (for example a YouTube video ID on YouTube) and requests bilingual captions from our servers. Captions are processed and loaded in short time windows (about 2 minutes) around your playback position for performance. Your Streaming Immersion quota is tracked on our servers based on the caption time ranges processed (recorded as seconds used), not exact second-by-second viewing. If you are not logged in, Streaming Immersion is limited to approximately 3 minutes per video or episode. We do not collect other viewing activity on those services, general browsing history, or unrelated page content for this feature.

The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time.

Major changes will be communicated on the website.

Your continued use of Snapwords constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
