Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Snapzi LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares your personal information when you use the Snapzi mobile application (the "App").
1. Information We Collect
We collect information to provide you with the best, most relevant deals and to improve our service.
A. Information You Provide to Us (Account Data)
When you create an account or interact with the App, you may provide:
- Contact/Identity Data: Your name, email address, and password (hashed).
- Profile Data: Your shopping preferences, favorite brands, and demographic information (e.g., age range, gender) if you choose to provide it.

- Log Data: IP address, browser type, and referrer URLs.
C. Location Data (Crucial for Coupon Apps)
Because Snapzi is designed to show you deals and offers near you, we require access to your location:
- Precise Geolocation: With your explicit consent, we collect precise device location (e.g., GPS coordinates) while you are using the App and, if you allow, in the background.
- Inferred Location: We may infer your general location (e.g., city, state) from your IP address.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
| Purpose of Use | Type of Data Used | Legal Basis (e.g., GDPR) |
|---|---|---|
| Provide and Personalize the Service | Location, Usage, Account | Contractual Necessity |

3. How We Share and Disclose Information
We may share your information with third parties in the following circumstances:
- With Merchants and Brands (Aggregated Data): We share aggregated and anonymized information (e.g., "500 users in Irvine clicked on this deal") with Merchants to help them assess the performance of their promotions. We do not share your name, email, or precise location with Merchants without your explicit consent.
- With Service Providers: We use third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our App (e.g., hosting, analytics, push notification services). They are obligated to use the data only as needed to perform these services.
- For Legal Reasons: If required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order).
- In a Business Transfer: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your Personal Information may be transferred as a business asset.
4. Location Data Consent and Control
We value your privacy. Your location data is used only to provide you with timely, relevant local deals and is essential to the core function of the App.
- Explicit Consent: We will request your explicit and clear consent before accessing your precise location.
- Control: You can withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting the Location Services settings on your mobile device (e.g., setting the permission to "While Using the App" or "Never"). Note that disabling location services will significantly limit the App's ability to provide relevant local deals.
5. Your Data Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction (e.g., residents of the EU or California), you may have the following rights regarding your Personal Information:
- Right to Access: You can request a copy of the Personal Information we hold about you.
- Right to Correction/Rectification: You can ask us to correct information you believe is inaccurate or incomplete.
- Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): You can ask us to delete your Personal Information, subject to certain legal exceptions.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the information below.
6. Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures, including encryption and regular security reviews, to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy in the App and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy.
