Privacy policy
This policy explains what the SnapText app stores, what it sends and who is involved.
Who we are
SnapText - Screenshot Reader is an app that pulls text out of screenshots, images and photos. It is made and published on Google Play by Uppercrust Tradecom LLP, a limited liability partnership based in India ("we", "us"). You can write to us at contact@uppercrustlabs.com or message us on WhatsApp at +91 84207 43922.
The short version
SnapText does not collect your data. Text recognition happens on your phone. The images you open and the text the app reads from them are not uploaded to us or to anyone else. There are no accounts, no advertising and no analytics in the app.
What stays on your phone
- the screenshots, images and photos you choose to open in the app;
- the text SnapText reads from them, and any text you copy or save;
- your settings and preferences;
- a record of whether you have bought the full version, so it works offline.
Because this data never reaches our servers, we cannot read it, recover it or restore it for you.
What leaves your phone
Purchases. SnapText is unlocked with a one-time purchase made through Google Play. Google processes the payment and tells the app whether the purchase is active. Google's privacy policy applies to that payment. We receive the purchase details Google provides to every developer (such as an order number and its status) but not your card details.
Things you choose to share. When you copy text or tap share, the text goes to the clipboard or to the app you pick in your phone's share menu. We do not receive it. What happens next depends on the app you share it with.
Phone backups. Depending on your phone's settings, Android may include app data in your own Google backup. That copy belongs to your Google account and is governed by Google's terms, not by us.
Permissions the app uses
- Photos and images – only the images you choose to open, so the app can read the text in them.
- Camera – only if you choose to take a photo inside the app.
- Google Play billing – to let you make the one-time purchase.
The app does not ask for your location, contacts or microphone. You can withdraw any permission at any time in your phone's settings.
Other companies involved
- Google Play (Google LLC) – processes the one-time purchase.
We do not sell your data and we do not share it with third parties for advertising or any other purpose.
Keeping and deleting your data
SnapText has no user accounts, so there is no account for us to delete. Full details are on our Delete your data and Data retention policy pages. In short, you can clear the app's data in Settings > Apps > SnapText > Storage > Clear storage, or uninstall the app. Your original screenshots and photos stay in your phone's gallery, and SnapText never deletes them.
Your rights and how to reach us
Because we hold almost no personal data about you, there is usually little for us to show, correct or erase. You are still entitled to ask. Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and other laws that apply to you, you can ask us what personal data we hold about you, to correct or erase it, and to respond to a complaint. Email us with the subject "Privacy request". We will reply within a reasonable time, and in any case within the period the law requires.

Children
SnapText is suitable for everyone and follows the Google Play Families Policy. It does not collect personal data from anyone, including children.
Security
Your images and text stay in your phone's storage, protected by your phone's own security. Purchase checks travel over encrypted connections through Google Play. No system is perfectly secure, but because the app collects nothing, there is very little to lose.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the app handles data, for example by adding cloud features or analytics, we will update this page and the date at the top before the change goes live, and tell you inside the app when the change affects what is collected.
