Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 26, 2026
Last Updated: April 26, 2026

Snag is developed and maintained by Ganotis Holdings, Inc. ("we", "our", or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains what information Snag handles and how it is used.

Summary

Snag is designed to keep your data on your device. We do not collect, store, or share any personal information on our servers. The app does not include analytics, advertising trackers, or third-party data collection in this version.

What Snag Does

Snag records short audio clips while attempting to identify songs using Apple’s ShazamKit framework. Recordings are saved on your device so you can replay them, retry identification later, and keep a personal history of songs you have heard.

Permissions

Microphone

Snag requires access to your device’s microphone to record audio clips for song identification. Recordings are saved only on your device. They are never uploaded to our servers, and they are never shared with any third party.

You can revoke microphone access at any time in iOS Settings. Without microphone access, Snag cannot record or identify audio.

Location (Optional)

If you enable the optional location feature in Snag’s Settings, the app will save the GPS coordinates and a venue or place name with each snag, so you can remember where you heard a song. Location data stays on your device. It is never uploaded to our servers, and it is never shared with any third party.

The optional location feature uses Apple’s Core Location framework to perform reverse geocoding (turning coordinates into a readable place name) on your device. You can disable the location feature in Snag’s Settings or revoke location access in iOS Settings at any time.

Third-Party Services

Apple ShazamKit

Snag uses Apple’s ShazamKit framework to identify songs. When you record a snag, an audio fingerprint is sent to Apple’s Shazam Catalog for matching. This communication happens directly between your device and Apple’s servers. We do not see, store, or process this audio fingerprint. Apple’s handling of ShazamKit data is governed by the Apple Privacy Policy.

Apple Music

When a song is identified, Snag may display a link to Apple Music. Tapping the link opens the song in Apple Music. We do not share any of your data with Apple Music when this link is displayed.

Data Storage

All recordings, identifications, notes, and optional location data are stored locally on your device using Apple’s standard storage frameworks. We do not maintain a backend server, a database of users, or any cloud-synced copy of your snags.

If you delete the Snag app, all data created by Snag is removed from your device.

Data We Do Not Collect

In this version of Snag, we do not collect any of the following:

Future Features

Future versions of Snag may include optional AI-powered song identification features that use third-party services such as audio fingerprinting APIs and speech transcription APIs. If and when these features are introduced, this Privacy Policy will be updated to disclose what data is sent, to which providers, and for what purpose. You will be notified of material changes before such features are activated for your account.

Children’s Privacy

Snag is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided information through Snag, please contact us so we can address the issue.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be communicated through the app or on snag.tv before taking effect.
