Privacy Policy for SnapOut

Effective date: November 1, 2026

SnapOut is a mobile application designed to help users notice prolonged phone use and take screen time breaks through gentle reminders. The app is free to use and may display advertisements provided by Google AdMob.

Information and Permissions

SnapOut does not require an account. We do not ask users to provide their name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, messages, precise location, or payment information to use the app.

With the user's permission, SnapOut accesses device usage information through Android's Usage Access feature. This information is used on the device to detect active phone use and provide reminders. SnapOut does not read the contents of other apps, messages, websites, or notifications. We do not send the device's app-usage history to our servers or intentionally provide it to AdMob for ad targeting.

How We Use Usage Information

Usage information is processed locally on the device to:

Data Storage

SnapOut stores app settings, reminder state, and usage-related information locally on the user's device. We do not upload this locally stored information to our own servers. Users can remove locally stored app data using Android's app settings or by uninstalling SnapOut, subject to Android's backup and restore behavior.

Advertising and Google AdMob

Versions of SnapOut with advertising use Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK) to load and display ads. To provide, measure, and protect advertising services, Google and its advertising technology partners may automatically collect or process information such as:

This information may be used for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, and related advertising analytics. Data processed by Google is subject to Google's policies and applicable privacy choices. Learn more about how Google uses information from apps that use its services and read the Google Privacy Policy.

Advertising Consent and Privacy Choices

Where required by law, an advertising-enabled version of SnapOut requests advertising-related consent through Google's consent management tools. Depending on the user's region and choices, ads may be personalized, non-personalized, or limited, or may not be shown. Declining personalized advertising does not prevent the user from using SnapOut's reminder features.

Where available, users can revisit advertising consent choices through the privacy options provided in the app. Users can also manage advertising preferences through their Android device settings and Google My Ad Center.

Data Sharing and Analytics

We do not sell users' personal information. We do not share the local app-usage history used for SnapOut reminders with advertisers. However, when advertising is enabled, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may transmit the advertising-related information described above to Google and its partners. SnapOut does not operate a separate account-based analytics service.

Notifications and Alarms

SnapOut uses notification permission to show reminders. It may use exact alarm or reminder scheduling permissions to make reminders appear at the time selected by the app logic and the user's settings.

Children's Privacy

SnapOut is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly request personal information from children.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, together with an updated effective date.
