Your photos
stay yours.
Snapost works locally: photos move between your phone and computer over your network. No cloud storage, no app accounts, and no in-app advertising.

At a glance
- The Snapost apps do not have user accounts and do not ask for personal details such as your name, email address, or phone number.
- Photos and files are transferred directly between your paired devices over your local network; they are not uploaded to Snapost cloud servers.
- The apps contain no advertising or behavioral profiling. This website uses privacy-focused visit statistics and a third-party service to process messages sent through its contact form.
1. Data controller
The data controller is the developer of Snapost. For privacy requests, contact info@snapost.it.
2. Data processed by the apps
The Snapost Android and Windows apps process:
- Photos you take or select in the app, saved on your phone and transferred to your paired computer;
- Settings and preferences, such as photo quality, delivery mode, tags, and destination folders, saved only on your devices;
- Pairing information, including your computer's local network address and pairing PIN, stored on your phone so it can remember paired PCs.
This data stays on your devices. Photos received by the Windows app are saved in the computer folders you choose.
3. Permissions and why they are needed
- Camera: to take photos;
- Storage / gallery: to save photos if you enable a gallery copy and to use the app's internal gallery;
- Local network: to send photos to your paired computer and receive photos sent back by that computer;
- Camera (QR scanner): to pair your phone with the computer by scanning the QR code shown in the Windows app.
Each permission is used only for the functions described above.
4. Where data goes
Photo transfers take place directly between your devices over their shared local Wi-Fi network. Photos and app content are not uploaded to cloud storage or sent to third parties by the apps, and are not accessible to the Snapost developer.
5. How long data is kept
Data remains on your devices until you delete it. Photos and settings stay on your phone or computer; deleting items from the app's gallery, clearing its history, or uninstalling the app removes the corresponding app data.
6. This website
The Snapost website is made up of static pages. It does not use advertising or behavioral profiling cookies. The hosting provider may process technical access logs for service security and operation.
Visit statistics: the site uses GoatCounter to understand aggregate website usage. Depending on the configuration, statistics may include page paths, referrers, time, browser and operating system, approximate country, language, and screen width. GoatCounter says it does not store IP addresses or full browser user-agent strings in its statistics database and does not use cookies or browser storage. To distinguish repeat visits, it may temporarily process an IP address and user-agent in memory for up to eight hours. See the GoatCounter privacy information.
Contact form: if you submit the form on the Italian-language home page, the information you provide (name, email address, and message) is sent to Formspree so it can process the submission and deliver it to us. We use it to respond; it is not used to subscribe you to a newsletter. Formspree's privacy policy explains its processing, retention, and international transfers: Formspree Privacy Policy. You can also contact us by email; your email provider will process that message.
7. Your rights
Under the GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679), you may request access, correction, erasure, or object to the processing of your personal data by writing to info@snapost.it. Since app data stays on your devices, you can usually manage it directly in the app or by deleting the files. For information submitted through the contact form, you may also contact us to request deletion.
8. Changes to this policy
If the apps or website change in a way that affects the data they process, this page will be updated and the revision date above will change. The version published here is the current version.
