SnapID

Privacy Policy

Effective April 27, 2026

SnapID is built on a simple principle: your photos stay on your device. This page explains, plainly, what the app does and does not do with your data.

What we collect

Nothing. SnapID does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information. The app has no account system, no analytics, no advertising SDKs, and no third-party trackers.

How your photos are processed

All image processing — face detection, segmentation, background replacement, color adjustment, and layout — runs entirely on your iPhone or iPad using on-device frameworks (Apple Vision, Core Image, Core ML). No image is ever uploaded to any server.

Face data

SnapID uses on-device face detection (Apple Vision and bundled Core ML models) to locate the position and orientation of a face inside the photo you select or capture. This is used only to crop, align, and compose the photo to the dimensions of your chosen ID, passport, or visa spec, and to limit color adjustments to skin regions.

  • SnapID does not perform face recognition or identification. It does not generate, derive, or store any biometric template, face embedding, faceprint, or any other persistent representation of a face.
  • Face detection runs entirely on your device. No face data — including the source photo, the detected face region, or any intermediate inference output — is transmitted to SnapID, to Apple, or to any third party.
  • Face data is not retained. Detection results live only in memory for the duration of a single processing pass and are discarded immediately afterwards.
  • The only artifact saved to your device is the final composed photo, which is written to your Photo Library only after you explicitly tap “Save.” This is treated as an ordinary image, not as biometric data.

Permissions

  • Camera — used only when you choose to take a photo inside the app. We do not record or transmit the camera feed.
  • Photo Library — used only when you pick an existing image, or when you tap “Save” to write the result back to Photos.

You can revoke either permission at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security.

Data stored on your device

SnapID stores the following locally, only on your device:

  • App settings (language, default options, watermark preferences)
  • Custom photo specs you create
  • Your generation history (preview thumbnails and result images), which you can delete at any time from the History tab

This data is never synced to a server. Deleting the app removes it completely.

Children's privacy

SnapID does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children. The app is suitable for all ages.

Changes to this policy

If we materially change how the app handles data, we will update this page and update the “Effective” date above. Because there is no account system, we cannot notify you individually — please check this page from time to time.
