SnipText — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 24 July 2026

The short version: SnipText collects nothing. It has no account, no analytics, no third-party SDKs, and no servers we control. Everything you create stays on your device and in your own private iCloud.

Who this covers

This policy applies to the SnipText apps published by Pierre-Henry Soria — Text Replacement Everywhere for iPhone and iPad, and Universal Text Replacement for 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; it is not used to transmit anything. 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 your snippet library. No data leaves the device.
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.
