Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 29, 2026
Effective: Immediately
Site: snaphq.net
This Privacy Policy is compliant with Google AdSense, GDPR (EU), and CCPA (California) requirements.
Plain English Summary

SnapHQ builds free browser-based tools for freelancers and small businesses. The data you enter into our tools (invoices, QR codes, etc.) is processed entirely in your browser — we never see it, store it, or transmit it. We use Google AdSense to display ads, which uses cookies to show relevant advertising. That’s the main privacy consideration on this site.

01
Information We Collect

SnapHQ operates the website snaphq.net and all tools hosted on it, including the Invoice Generator, QR Code Generator, and other free utilities. We are committed to your privacy.

Tool data — we never see it: All SnapHQ tools run entirely in your browser. Invoice details, QR code content, and any other data you enter into our tools is never sent to our servers. It exists only on your device.

Automatically collected technical data: When you visit SnapHQ, standard web server and analytics systems may collect:

🌐

IP Address

Anonymized where possible. Used for geographic analytics only.

🖥️

Browser & Device

Browser type, OS version, screen size for compatibility tracking.

📊

Usage Data

Pages visited, time on site, referring URLs. Used to improve SnapHQ.

02
How We Use Your Information

We use the limited technical data we collect to:

  • Operate and maintain the SnapHQ website and tools
  • Analyze usage to understand which tools are popular and improve them
  • Display advertising through Google AdSense to keep SnapHQ free
  • Detect abuse and prevent fraudulent or harmful use of our tools
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data for direct marketing, profiling, or any purpose beyond operating and improving SnapHQ.

03
Cookies & Tracking Technologies

SnapHQ uses cookies — small text files stored in your browser. Here’s exactly what we use and why:

  • Essential cookies: Required for the website to function. Cannot be disabled.
  • Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use SnapHQ (e.g. Google Analytics). Anonymized where possible.
  • Advertising cookies: Set by Google AdSense to display relevant ads based on your browsing history and interests.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling advertising cookies doesn’t remove ads — it makes them less relevant to you. For more on managing cookies visit aboutcookies.org.

04
Google AdSense & Advertising

SnapHQ is a free platform supported by advertising. We use Google AdSense — an advertising service by Google LLC — to display ads on our pages.

Google AdSense uses cookies and the DoubleClick cookie to serve personalized ads based on your visits to SnapHQ and other websites. This is how SnapHQ stays free for everyone.

  • Google may use your browsing activity to show you relevant ads
  • Third-party vendors including Google may serve ads based on prior website visits
  • Ad personalization can be controlled through your Google account

Opt out of personalized ads: Visit google.com/settings/ads or aboutads.info/choices. For Google’s full data policy visit policies.google.com.

05
Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We share data only in these limited circumstances:

  • Service providers: Hosting and analytics partners who operate under strict confidentiality agreements.
  • Google AdSense: As described in Section 4 — advertising cookies only.
  • Legal requirements: If required by law, court order, or valid government request.
  • Safety: To protect the rights, property, or safety of SnapHQ, our users, or the public.
  • Business transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition, data may transfer as part of that transaction.
06
Data Retention

Because SnapHQ tools process data entirely in your browser, we hold zero user-generated content. There is nothing to retain or delete.

Automatically collected technical data such as server logs is retained for a maximum of 90 days, after which it is deleted or fully anonymized. Analytics data follows Google’s own retention policies.

07
