Privacy Shield & Policy
Most companies hide their data mining and tracking policies inside a 50-page wall of legalese. We believe in total transparency. SnipVault is an open platform built for developers, and our privacy model is simple: your data belongs entirely to you. Below is the A-Z breakdown of exactly what we collect, how it is handled, and how you retain full control.
Database Schema: What We Store
If you register a secure cloud synchronization profile, we store exactly the following attributes on our Convex database cluster. No more, no less:
| Attribute | Collected Value | Purpose & Encryption |
|---|---|---|
| Email Address | user@example.com | Used strictly for account verification and password resets. |
| Password hash | Argon2/Pbkdf2 (Encrypted) | We securely salt and hash passwords. We can never view plain text passwords. |
| Full Name | John Doe | Used to personalize your vault workspace greeting. |
| DOB & Calculated Age | YYYY-MM-DD (Age integer) | Required under data security laws to ensure user age limits. |
| Profile Photo | Base64 JPEG (Optional) | Allows workspace avatar personalization. Crop controls run completely on your client. |
| Categories & Snippets | User-entered text, urls, notes | The payload blocks of your snippets, securely matched to your private account id. |
Cookies, Tracking, and Storage
- No Tracking Cookies: We host zero analytics scripts (like Google Analytics, Hotjar, or Mixpanel) and zero advertising cookies. We have no trackers trying to study your behavior or target ads to you.
- Active Session Token: We save a single secure cryptographic signature string inside your browser's
localStorage. This token functions solely to keep you logged in to your private vault across page reloads. If you sign out, this token is instantly wiped from your browser memory.
Full Sovereignty: Export and Purge
Under European GDPR guidelines and global data integrity best practices, we believe you should have complete command over your data footprints:
GDPR Access Export
Under the "Manage Account" dashboard tab, you can click Download Data (JSON).
Our cloud system compiles every folder, profile attribute, creation timestamp, and saved code snippet into a raw JSON file and downloads it instantly.
Complete Profile Purge
If you decide to leave SnipVault, we make it easy. Under "Manage Account", trigger the Delete My Account option.
After a 5-second safety countdown, we completely wipe all your records from Convex cloud databases. This action is permanent and completely irreversible.
Security and Audits
Because our database engine operates via secure serverless Convex queries, every operation is validated by structural schema guards. Other users can never access, query, or view your categories or snippets. If you are concerned about cloud networks, you can simply use SnipVault in **Guest Mode**. In Guest Mode, your data remains 100% offline inside your computer's browser storage and is never sent to our databases.
