Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how TikSnap ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website and services at tiksnap.app (the "Service"). We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected.
By using TikSnap, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use our Service.
2. Information We Collect
TikSnap is designed with privacy in mind. We minimize data collection to only what is strictly necessary for the Service to function. We do not require user registration, login, or any account creation to use our Service.
3. Personal Identification Information
Users may visit and use TikSnap completely anonymously. We do not record the identification information of our Users. We will only collect personal identification information from Users if they voluntarily submit such information to us (for example, through our contact form).
Users can always refuse to supply personal identification information. However, if they agree to supply information (e.g., for contacting us), they are responsible for providing accurate and correct information. TikSnap is not responsible for any inaccurate information provided by Users.
4. Non-Personal Identification Information
We may collect non-personal identification information about Users whenever they interact with our Service. Non-personal identification information may include:
- Browser type and version — to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
- Device type — to provide a responsive, device-appropriate experience.
- Language preference — stored locally in your browser (localStorage) to remember your selected language.
- General usage data — such as page views and feature usage, collected in aggregate form only.
This information is collected automatically and cannot be used to personally identify any individual user.
5. Cookies & Web Technologies
TikSnap uses minimal web technologies to enhance your experience:
- localStorage — We use your browser's localStorage to remember your language preference. This data is stored only on your device and is never sent to our servers.
- Essential cookies — Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) may set essential cookies for security purposes, such as protecting against malicious traffic and DDoS attacks.
We do not use tracking cookies, analytics cookies, or any cookie-based user profiling.
6. How We Use Collected Information
Any information we collect is used solely for the following purposes:
- To provide and maintain the Service — Processing TikTok video URLs you submit to generate download links.
- To improve user experience — Understanding general usage patterns to improve our interface and performance.
- To ensure security — Protecting our Service against abuse, bots, and malicious activity through rate limiting and security measures.
- To remember preferences — Storing your language preference locally in your browser.
We do not sell, trade, rent, or share any user information with third parties for marketing or commercial purposes.
7. Data Storage & Retention
TikSnap is committed to minimal data retention:
- Video URLs — The TikTok URLs you submit are processed in real-time and are not stored on our servers after the request is complete.
- Downloaded content — We do not store, cache, or archive any videos or audio files. All content is streamed directly from TikTok's servers to your device.
- Download history — We do not keep any record of what content you have downloaded.
- Server logs — Standard server logs (IP address, request timestamp) may be temporarily retained by our hosting provider for security and operational purposes, and are automatically purged within a reasonable timeframe.
8. Third-Party Services
TikSnap relies on the following third-party services to operate:
- Cloudflare — For hosting, CDN, and security services. Cloudflare may collect minimal data as outlined in their Privacy Policy.
- Google Fonts — For loading web fonts. Google may collect limited data as described in their Privacy Policy.
- TikTok — The Service processes publicly available content from TikTok. We do not have control over TikTok's data practices.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party services for more information about their data handling practices.
9. Advertising
TikSnap currently does not display third-party advertisements. If we introduce advertising in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly. Any advertising partners would only be permitted to compile non-personal identification information and would not be allowed to track personal information such as your name, email address, or physical address.
10. Children's Privacy
TikSnap does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take immediate steps to remove such information. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
11. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Right of Access — You have the right to request information about what personal data we hold about you (which in most cases is none).
- Right to Rectification — You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate personal data.
- Right to Erasure — You have the right to request deletion of your personal data.
- Right to Data Portability — You have the right to receive a copy of your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Right to Opt-Out — You can clear your localStorage data at any time through your browser settings to remove any locally stored preferences.
Since TikSnap does not collect or store personal data, most of these rights are automatically fulfilled. If you have any questions or requests, please contact us.
