Snap Spell Privacy Policy

Scanning and text recognition

When you scan a printed word list or import a selected photo, Snap Spell uses on-device text recognition to detect words.

• Camera access is used only when you choose to scan printed words.
• Photo access is used only for photos you choose to import.
• Original scan images are not kept by the app after recognition.

Saved practice data

Saved word lists, practice status, child or family profiles, voice settings, and app settings are stored locally in the app container on your device.

• You can delete lists in the app.
• You can remove app data by deleting the app from your device.
• Separate profiles can keep practice progress separate while sharing the same saved lists.

Sharing, files, and PDFs

Snap Spell can create practice PDFs and Snap Spell files only when you choose to export or share them.

• Exports use the iOS share sheet or destinations you choose.
• Anyone you share a PDF or Snap Spell file with can see the words and related file contents.
• File names and exported contents are not sent to MarcX Studio by the app.

iCloud Backup

Pro users can back up app data to their private iCloud database and restore it manually later. This is backup and manual restore, not live multi-device sync.

• Backup can include saved word lists, practice progress, profiles, voice settings, and app settings.
• Backup does not include original source images, temporary Snap Spell files, purchase state, or analytics events.
• iCloud storage is handled by Apple under your Apple ID and iCloud settings.

Purchases and Pro

If you buy or restore Snap Spell Pro, App Store purchase APIs and RevenueCat may process purchase status, entitlement information, and store identifiers needed to manage the purchase.

External actions

Some actions can open Apple or web services only after you choose them.

• Dictionary lookup uses Apple reference libraries when available.
• Google, web, and pronunciation searches open only after you tap those actions.
• When you open an external search, the search term is sent to the service you choose.

Analytics

Snap Spell may use Firebase or Google Analytics to understand privacy-safe usage events and improve the app.

• Analytics does not include scanned text, word list titles, word text, child names, photos, file names, or Snap Spell file contents.
• Analytics events are used for product reliability and feature usage, not for advertising inside the app.
• Snap Spell does not show third-party ads.

Support and TestFlight feedback

If you contact support, we receive the information you choose to send. If you send beta feedback through TestFlight, Apple shares that feedback with the developer according to TestFlight feedback flows.
