Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2, 2026

The short version

The FloatSnap app does not collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data. Your screenshots never leave your Mac. The app contains no analytics, telemetry, or tracking of any kind. The floatsnap.com website (this page included) uses Google Analytics for anonymous traffic statistics — see “Website analytics” below. We do not sell data.

What the FloatSnap app does NOT collect

• Screenshots or screen content
• Personal files or documents
• Browsing history or app usage
• Location data
• Device identifiers or fingerprints
• In-app analytics or telemetry

Screen recording permission

FloatSnap requests macOS Screen Recording permission solely to capture the area of the screen you select. The captured image is stored only in local memory and is never uploaded, transmitted, or saved anywhere unless you explicitly choose to save it to a file.

License activation

When you activate a license key, FloatSnap sends the following to Lemon Squeezy's API:

• Your license key
• Your Mac's local hostname (e.g., "Dave's MacBook Pro")

This is used solely to validate and activate your license. No other information is transmitted. Lemon Squeezy's privacy policy governs how they handle this data: lemonsqueezy.com/privacy

Auto-updates (Sparkle)

FloatSnap uses the open-source Sparkle framework to check for updates. When checking, Sparkle may send your macOS version and app version to our update server. No personal information is included. You can disable automatic update checks in the app.

OCR text recognition

Text recognition is performed entirely on your Mac using Apple's Vision framework. No text, images, or data are sent to any server for OCR processing.

Data storage

• Trial start date — stored locally in UserDefaults
• License key and activation status — stored in your Mac's Keychain

No data is stored on our servers.

Website analytics

The floatsnap.com website uses Google Analytics 4 to count visitors and download-button clicks. This is separate from the FloatSnap app and only applies to your browser visiting our website. We collect:

• Standard web analytics: page views, country, browser/OS, referring URL, session duration
• “Download Free Trial” button clicks (event name: download_dmg)

We do not collect your name, email, or any directly identifying information through the website. Google Analytics may use anonymized cookies; you can opt out via the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on or by blocking the googletagmanager.com domain in your browser.

Third-party services

• Lemon Squeezy — processes payments and license keys (app activation + website checkout). Their privacy policy
• Google Analytics — anonymized website traffic statistics (website only, not the app). Their privacy policy
• Cloudflare — content delivery and DDoS protection for floatsnap.com. Their privacy policy

Children's privacy

FloatSnap is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this policy

If we update this policy, we'll post the changes here with an updated date. Since we don't collect your data, we have no way to notify you directly — just check back if you're curious.
