Summary
snapTrans requires no account and contains no advertising or telemetry. Screenshot pixels and OCR stay on your device. Text is sent to a third-party model provider only when you actively request translation or another AI text action.
Data processed by the app
Capture and OCR
Windows captures the screen locally and RapidOCR recognizes text on your computer. snapTrans does not upload screenshot pixels, annotations or desktop content to our servers.
Translation and AI text actions
When you request translation, explanation, summarization, slang explanation or learning-note generation, snapTrans sends the relevant text to the OpenAI-compatible API endpoint configured in Settings. That provider handles the request under its own privacy policy. Do not configure an endpoint you do not trust.
API keys and settings
Your API key and app settings are stored in the current Windows user's local configuration directory. The Windows build protects API keys with DPAPI. We cannot read or recover your key.
Local history and logs
Translation history, favorites, learning cards and diagnostic logs stay on the current device and may contain source text and translations. You can clear these records in the app and remove the local data directory when uninstalling.
Website data
This site sets no product-analytics or advertising cookies. Cloudflare, our hosting provider, may process IP addresses, request times, browser details and security logs for delivery, security and abuse prevention under its own policies.
What we do not do

Your choices
You can replace or remove API settings, turn off history, clear local records, or stop using a provider. To delete information you deliberately sent us in a support email, contact us.
Children
snapTrans is a general productivity tool. It is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect their personal information.
Changes
If our data handling changes materially, we will update the effective date here and, when appropriate, notify users through the app or release notes.
