Who we are
SnapDown (the "App") is developed and operated by AS3 Labs Global LLP (LLPIN ADC-8582), a limited liability partnership registered in India ("we", "us", "our"). This Privacy Policy explains what information the App handles, why, how it is shared, and the choices you have.
Android package name: com.all.browser.downloader
SnapDown has no user accounts. You never need to give us your name, email address or phone number to use it.
By installing or using the App you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
What stays on your device
SnapDown is built to work on your phone. The following is processed only on your device and is never sent to us:
- Links you paste or share: the App contacts the website that hosts the link directly to check whether it is a downloadable file. Page links open in the App's built-in browser. We do not run a server that receives your links.
- Downloads and download history: files are saved to your phone (Movies/SnapDown, Music/SnapDown, or Downloads for other files, or your SD card if you choose). Your download list is kept in the App.
- Built-in browser: history, bookmarks, open tabs and website cookies are stored in the App. Private tabs keep no history or cookies after you close them. The download button shown on videos and the ad blocker run inside the App.
- WhatsApp status saver: the App reads status photos and videos that WhatsApp has already stored on your phone, only from the folder you choose with Android's folder picker. Saved statuses are copied to Pictures/SnapDown/Status and Movies/SnapDown/Status.
- Private Vault: files you move to the Vault are kept in the App's private storage. Your PIN is stored on the device only as a salted one-way hash. Fingerprint unlock is handled by Android; the App never receives your fingerprint.
- Stickers: photos you choose for "Make a sticker" are picked with Android's photo picker and turned into stickers on the device. Sticker packs are shared with WhatsApp only when you tap "Add to WhatsApp".
- Direct chat: the phone number and message you type are used only for a moment to open the chat in WhatsApp on your phone. SnapDown does not store them and does not send them to us or to any server.
- Clipboard: when you open the App, it checks the clipboard for a copied link so it can offer to download it. Clipboard content is not stored or sent anywhere.
We do not upload your downloaded files, statuses, Vault files, stickers or browsing data.
Information you enter
SnapDown never asks for your name, email address or phone number, and has no sign-in.
- Phone number (Direct chat, optional): if you use Direct chat, the number you type is processed only to open that chat in WhatsApp, then discarded. It is not stored, not linked to you, and not sent to us. WhatsApp handles it under its own privacy policy.
- Websites in the built-in browser: anything you type on a website (for example a login form, a phone number or a search) goes directly to that website, exactly as in any other browser. SnapDown does not read, store or receive it.
Information collected automatically
To keep the App stable and free, a small amount of technical information is collected by our service providers (see below):
- Diagnostics: crash reports from released versions of the App (device model, Android version, app version, the error and the state of the App when it crashed).
- Usage analytics: which screens and features are used, app opens and session length, in pseudonymous form linked to an app instance ID, not to your name.
- Advertising: your device's Advertising ID, IP address, approximate location derived from it, device information and ad interactions, used by Google AdMob to show and measure ads, according to your consent choice.
App permissions
SnapDown asks for as little as possible, and only when you use the feature that needs it.
| Permission or access | Why it is needed |
|---|---|
| Internet, network state | To load websites and download the files you choose, and to download only on Wi-Fi if you turn that on. |
| Notifications (Android 13+) | Asked the first time you start a download, to show download progress and completion. |
| Foreground service (data sync) | To keep downloads running when you leave the App. |
| WhatsApp Statuses folder (Android folder picker) | Asked when you open the Status tab, to show statuses. You choose the folder; you can revoke it at any time. |
| Photo picker | Only the photo you pick for a sticker. No access to your gallery is requested. |
| Storage (Android 9 and older only) | To save downloads to your shared folders on old Android versions. |
| Fingerprint / biometrics | Optional, to unlock the Private Vault. |
| Advertising ID | Used by Google AdMob to serve and measure ads. |
How we use information
- To provide the App's features on your device.
- To find and fix crashes and improve performance.
- To understand which features are used so we can improve them.
- To keep the App free through advertising, according to your consent.
- To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.
Sharing and third-party services
We do not sell your personal information. The App uses these service providers, which process data under their own privacy policies:
| Service | Data it may process | Link |
|---|---|---|
| Google Firebase Crashlytics | Crash logs, device model, Android version, app version, app instance ID | Policy |
| Google Analytics for Firebase | App usage events, app instance ID, device and app information | Policy |
| Google AdMob and User Messaging Platform | Advertising ID, IP address, device information, ad interactions, consent choice | Policy |
| Google Play Billing | Purchase status of "Remove ads" (order ID, purchase token); payment details stay with Google | Policy |
Websites you open in the built-in browser receive the information any browser sends (such as your IP address and cookies they set). Their own privacy policies apply. We may also disclose information if required by law, court order or a government authority, or to protect our rights or users' safety.
In-app purchase (Remove ads)
SnapDown offers one optional, one-time purchase, Remove ads, sold through Google Play. Google handles the payment; we never see or store your card or payment details. Google Play tells the App whether the purchase is active (an order ID and purchase token) so that ads stay off and the purchase can be restored on your other devices with the same Google account. This status is stored on your device. Refunds and receipts are handled by Google Play under the Google Payments Privacy Notice.
Advertising
SnapDown is free and shows ads through Google AdMob: a banner at the bottom of the main screens, a small ad card on the Home screen, a full-screen ad when you open or return to the App or after a download completes, and an optional ad you can choose to watch for some high-quality downloads. Buying Remove ads turns all of them off. Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, UK and Switzerland), we ask for your consent with Google's consent tool before ads are personalised. You can change that choice at any time in Settings → Privacy choices, and you can reset or delete your Advertising ID in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads.
The ad blocker in the built-in browser only affects websites you visit; it does not affect the ads that keep SnapDown free.
Data retention
Everything stored on your device stays there until you delete it, clear the App's data or uninstall the App. Uninstalling also deletes files in the Private Vault. Your "Remove ads" purchase is kept by Google Play and is restored when you reinstall. Crash and analytics data held by Google is kept according to Google's retention settings (analytics data up to 14 months; crash data up to 90 days), after which it is deleted.
Data security
Connections to our service providers are encrypted (HTTPS/TLS). Vault files are kept in storage that other apps cannot read, and your Vault PIN is never stored in readable form. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we work to protect your data and will notify you and the authorities of a breach where the law requires.
Your rights and choices
- Permissions: you can revoke notification, folder and other access in Android settings at any time.
- Ads: change your consent in Settings → Privacy choices, or reset your Advertising ID.
- Access, correction and deletion: you may ask us about data our providers hold about your app instance, or ask us to delete it.
- Nominate: users in India may nominate another person to exercise their rights in case of death or incapacity, as provided under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
- EEA/UK users have rights under the GDPR, including objection, restriction and portability, and may complain to their local data protection authority.
- California residents have rights under the CCPA/CPRA to know, delete and correct personal information. We do not sell personal information.
To make a request, email contact@as3labsglobal.com with the subject "SnapDown – Privacy Request". We will respond within 30 days.
Deleting your data
Because SnapDown has no accounts, almost all of your data is on your phone. To delete it, clear the App's data in Android Settings or uninstall the App (this also removes Vault files, so move them out first). Files you saved to your gallery stay until you delete them. To ask us to delete analytics or crash data linked to your app instance, email contact@as3labsglobal.com with the subject "SnapDown – Delete my data". We will act on it within 30 days.
Children's privacy
SnapDown is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. Users in India under 18 must use the App with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
International transfers
We are based in India. Google's services may process data in other countries; where data is transferred, Google relies on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will change the "Last updated" date above and, for significant changes, tell you in the App. Continued use of the App after an update means you accept the revised policy.
