How Snapzle handles your data
Snapzle turns your own photos into jigsaw puzzles on your iPhone. This policy explains, in plain language, what Snapzle does and does not do with your data. The short version: Snapzle works on your device with no account and no login. The photos you choose, and the puzzles you build, stay on your device and are never uploaded to us or to any server.
When you make a puzzle from a personal photo, you pick it through Apple's system photo picker. Because of how that picker works, Snapzle only receives the single image you choose — it never has access to your photo library. The chosen image is stored on your device (inside the app's private storage) and is used only to draw and slice your puzzle.
If you explicitly turn on the optional “On this day” feature, Snapzle asks for read access to your photo library and looks — entirely on your device — for photos taken on the same calendar day in past years, so it can suggest a memory to turn into a puzzle. This scan never leaves your device: nothing about your library (not the photos, not their dates, not even counts) is uploaded or recorded in analytics. If you decline, the feature stays hidden; you can change your mind any time in Settings. The default photo-picking flow never requires library access.
You can package a puzzle as a gift file and send it to a friend. The photo itself travels inside that file — Snapzle tells you exactly that before anything is shared, and the file goes only where you choose to send it (Messages, AirDrop, email…), never through our servers. A received gift is stored on the recipient's device just like a personal photo.
“Share as image” composes a picture of your finished puzzle entirely on your device. If you choose “Save to Photos”, Snapzle asks for add-only permission — it can place your card into your library but still cannot read anything from it.
Snapzle has no login and does not ask for your name, email, phone number, or any contact information. Your puzzle library, progress, streak, and preferences live only on your device.
To understand how the app is used and to keep it working well, Snapzle uses Google Firebase Analytics in a privacy-preserving configuration. It records anonymous, aggregated usage events only. It does not collect the content of your photos, and it is configured with the no-advertising-identifier SDK.
| Data | Purpose | Includes photos? |
|---|---|---|
| Anonymous usage events (e.g. app opened, a puzzle started/completed, piece counts, screens viewed) | Understand engagement and improve the app | No |
| A random, app-generated identifier | Group anonymous events from the same install; used as the subscription user id | No |
| General device/app info (model, OS version, app version, coarse region/language) | Diagnostics and compatibility | No |
The identifier is a random value created on your device. It is not your name, email, Apple ID, advertising ID, or phone number, and it is never linked to your real-world identity. No advertising ID (IDFA) is collected, and Snapzle shows no ads.
Snapzle Plus is an optional subscription. Purchases are processed by Apple and managed through RevenueCat, which validates your subscription status. Apple handles all payment details — Snapzle never sees your card or billing information. RevenueCat receives the random app identifier and your purchase/entitlement status, not your photos or identity.
If you opt in, Snapzle can send you a gentle local daily-puzzle reminder at a time you choose. These are scheduled entirely on your device; no notification content is sent through a server.
Snapzle is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them.
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the "last updated" date above.
