Who this covers
This policy applies to the SnipText apps published by Pierre-Henry Soria for iPhone, iPad and Mac (together, “SnipText”, “the app”, “we”, “us”).
Data we collect
None. We do not collect, transmit, sell, rent, or share any personal information. SnipText contains no analytics, no advertising, no tracking identifiers, and no third-party SDKs.
Your snippets and settings
- The snippets, shortcuts and preferences you create are stored on your device.
- If you are signed in to iCloud, they sync between your own Apple devices through your private iCloud key-value store, using Apple’s iCloud service. This data is controlled by you and your Apple Account — we never see it and have no server that receives it.
- Apple’s handling of iCloud data is governed by Apple’s Privacy Policy.
The keyboard and system-wide expansion
The SnipText keyboard (iOS) and the system-wide expansion engine (Mac) match the text you type against your own shortcuts entirely on your device to decide when to expand a snippet. Keystrokes are never logged, stored, or sent anywhere. On iOS this requires enabling “Allow Full Access,” which lets the keyboard read your snippet library from your private iCloud store. The keyboard does not contact the developer or any third-party server. On macOS, expansion automatically pauses inside secure password fields.
Permissions we request
- iCloud — to sync your snippets across your own devices. Optional; the app works fully offline without it.
- Keyboard Full Access (iOS) — so the keyboard can read the snippet library synced through Apple iCloud. It does not send typed text to the developer or third parties.
- Input Monitoring (macOS) — so the app can recognize when you type one of your configured shortcuts. Matching is local; typed text is not retained.
- Accessibility (macOS) — so the app can type expansions on your behalf in other apps. Processing is local only.
Children
SnipText does not collect data from anyone, including children. It is rated suitable for all ages.
