This Privacy Policy explains how Snipri ("we", "us") collects, uses, and shares information when you use snipri.com and the Snipri service (the "Service").
Calendar and automatic social posting have been removed. The publishing-account information below describes retained data from previous connections and how to request its removal. Snipri no longer accepts new publishing connections or posts.
1. Information we collect#
We collect the following information when you use the relevant features:
- Account data. When you sign in with Google we receive your name, email address, and profile image from Google. We store this in our database to identify your account.
- Usage data. Video URLs you submit, clipping parameters you choose (aspect ratio, number of highlights), generated output URLs, remaining minutes, and timestamps of each action.
- Billing data. Subscription status, plan, and renewal dates returned by our payment processor (LemonSqueezy). We never receive or store your full card number. LemonSqueezy handles all payment data directly.
- Connected publishing accounts. When you connect a YouTube channel or another supported publishing account, we store its platform identifier, display name or handle, profile image URL when available, granted permissions, and token expiration details. We store access tokens and any refresh tokens encrypted in our database so scheduled uploads can run without an open browser. We do not receive your Google or publishing-account password.
- Scheduled posts. The clip and destination you select, caption, publication time and time zone, and platform settings such as a YouTube title, description, visibility and audience choice. We also store upload progress, publication results, platform post identifiers and URLs, and errors needed to show the status or retry an upload.
2. How we use information#
- To provide and operate the Service (process your clipping jobs, deliver results, meter minutes).
- To maintain or remove data from previously connected publishing accounts and process revocation and deletion requests.
- To send transactional email (a welcome message when you sign up, a receipt when you are charged, and a note when your clip is ready) via Resend. The clip notification can be turned off on the Billing page; the other two are part of running your account.
- To detect and prevent abuse (rate limiting, fraud signals).
- To improve the product through aggregate, non-identifying analytics (Plausible).
- To respond to support requests you send to hello@snipri.com.
We do not sell your personal data and we do not use it to train AI models.
Snipri used YouTube API Servicesfor its former YouTube publishing feature. Authorized uploads sent the selected finished video and its title, description, visibility and audience settings to YouTube. Existing connections remain subject to the retention and removal process below. Google's handling of that information is described in the Google Privacy Policy.
3. Subprocessors#
We share data with these third parties only to operate the Service:
- Google: sign-in, selected Google Drive file imports, and YouTube channel connection and video uploads.
- Meta: account connection and video publication when you use an available Instagram publishing connection.
- LemonSqueezy: payment processing and subscription billing.
- Groq: audio extracted from your video to produce a transcript.
- Anthropic: we send the video's transcript (not the video itself) to an LLM to identify highlight moments; it is not used to train models.
- Tunelio: your submitted YouTube link and download settings when this service is used to retrieve the source video for a link import.
- Cloudflare R2: storage and delivery of the finished clips.
- Resend: transactional email delivery.
- Neon / Vercel: database and application hosting.
- Railway: hosting the worker that processes source videos and generates clips.
- Plausible / Sentry: privacy-friendly analytics and error tracking.
- Upstash: rate-limit state and the job queue.
4. Data retention#
We keep account and usage data while your account is active. You can delete your account by emailing hello@snipri.com; we remove your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to keep it for tax/accounting purposes (typically up to 7 years for billing records, in anonymized or pseudonymized form).
Removing a retained publishing connection cancels queued posts that have not started. Your clips, captions, publishing choices and local schedule history remain. Disconnecting does not delete videos already uploaded to the platform. If an upload was already processing, a video may still appear there; check the platform before uploading it again.
YouTube connection and API data
Disconnecting YouTube stops further publishing attempts in Snipri and clears stored channel profile data, upload progress, and YouTube video identifiers and links. A video already sent to YouTube may still appear there; check YouTube Studio before uploading it again.
Snipri also asks Google to revoke access. If Google does not confirm immediately, revocation remains pending. We temporarily keep one encrypted credential and the minimum connection identifiers only to retry revocation, never for publishing or reading channel data. These are deleted when revocation is confirmed or within seven days.
While connected, we periodically revalidate YouTube authorization and refresh channel information. We remove the connection and its stored YouTube API data if revocation is confirmed or we cannot successfully revalidate it for 29 days. Stored YouTube video identifiers, links and provider results from completed posts are cleared after 29 days; your local clips, choices and schedule history remain. Contact hello@snipri.com to request deletion of other stored data.
Instagram connection and deletion requests
To remove a retained Instagram connection, contact hello@snipri.com. Snipri removes its stored Instagram credentials, account identifiers and profile information, upload progress, and Instagram publication identifiers and links. Queued posts are cancelled and processing attempts are stopped locally. Disconnecting in Snipri does not delete a video already sent to Instagram or itself revoke the permission in your Instagram settings.
You can also remove Snipri from the Apps and websites section of your Instagram settings and request deletion there. When Meta sends a verified removal or deletion request, Snipri removes the Instagram connection data covered by that request. Meta can provide a confirmation link showing the request status. A connection you authorized after an earlier request is kept; the status page explains how to remove that newer connection.
We keep minimal request confirmation and timing records to show deletion status and prevent repeated requests or older sign-in attempts from affecting a later connection. Those records contain no access tokens, profile information or raw Instagram account identifier. Your Snipri account, source videos, clips, captions, publishing choices and local schedule history remain. To delete those too, email hello@snipri.com from your account address.
5. Your rights#
If you are in the EU, UK, or California, you have the right to access, correct, export, or delete the personal data we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, email hello@snipri.com from the address on your account.
In addition to Snipri's deletion process, you can revoke Snipri's access to your Google data through your Google security settings. To remove a stored publishing connection from Snipri or request deletion of other retained information, email hello@snipri.com.
Revoking a YouTube connection can also revoke other Google permissions you granted to Snipri for the same Google account. Google may ask you to reconnect Google Drive or sign in to Snipri again.
6. Cookies#
We use necessary first-party cookies for sign-in, session security, and a temporary authorization cookie when you connect a publishing account. We do not use third-party advertising cookies. Our analytics provider (Plausible) does not use cookies or collect personal data.
7. Children#
Snipri is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect data from children.
8. Changes#
We may update this policy as the Service evolves. Material changes will be announced by email or in-app notice. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent version.
