Snip — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 August 2026

Snip lets you record a podcast from your phone, edit it and publish it. This document explains what the app collects, why, and who it is shared with. It is written from what the app actually does rather than from a template.

There are no ads, no analytics and no third-party trackers in Snip. Your data is never sold and never used for advertising.

1. Who is responsible

Snip is built and operated by Arda Arslan. For any privacy question or request: [email protected]

2. Your account

There are two ways to use Snip:

As a guest. Opening the app creates an anonymous account for you. No name, email or phone number is requested; the account exists only so that your recordings can be known to be yours.
With Sign in with Apple. Apple then gives us your name (if you choose to share it) and your email address — either your real one or the private relay address Apple generates. The email is only your account's identity; we do not send you marketing email.

Linking a guest account to Apple merges the two; your recordings and credits are preserved.

3. Your recordings and the content you make

The app's main subject matter is your own content:

What	Where it lives
Raw capture chunks (each participant's own audio/video)	Our storage, private
The mixed episode (audio, and video if any), edited renditions	Storage, anyone with the link
Transcript, subtitles, social copy, generated artwork, dubs, clips	Same — anyone with the link
Show and episode details (title, description, artwork, category)	Our database

What "anyone with the link" means: these files have addresses containing random identifiers long enough not to be guessable, and they are listed nowhere — but someone who has the address can open it without signing in. This is a technical necessity: podcast directories (Apple Podcasts, Spotify) must be able to fetch a published audio file without credentials. Publishing an episode makes its audio public by definition — that is what podcast publishing is.

Raw capture chunks are never public.

4. What becomes public when you publish

Taking a show live produces a public RSS feed containing: the show's title, description, artwork, author name, episode titles and descriptions, the audio file addresses, and the contact email you entered, in the <itunes:owner> field.

That email is required by podcast directories for ownership verification and cannot be removed from the feed. The app warns about this on the publishing screen; we recommend using an address dedicated to this rather than a personal one.
