Privacy Policy

Do you ask for anything about me?

No. There is no Anonysnap account to create, and no field anywhere on the site for a name, an email address, a phone number or a Snapchat login.

Usernames you search are not collected into any record about you, and no personal information is sold or rented — to anyone.

• No Snapchat password, login code or session cookie — the site has nowhere to type one.
• No sign-up, so no email address or phone number on file.
• No lasting log of who looked up which username: the server notes the username it fetched, not who asked.

What does the site keep in my browser?

A handful of small items, so the viewer remembers where you left off. They sit in your browser’s localStorage and IndexedDB, on your own device, and clearing this site’s data removes every one of them. The random browser ID is the only one that also travels with a lookup.

• anonysnap:recent-handles and anonysnap:saved-handles — usernames you searched for or saved.
• anonysnap:client-id — a random ID for this browser, sent with each lookup so the bot check and rate limits work per browser. It is not tied to a name, an email or a Snapchat account.
• anonysnap:gate-passed — which usernames already passed the bot check, remembered for 30 minutes.
• IndexedDB database “asv” — which Snaps you have already seen, for the “new since last visit” marks. It never leaves your device; the Clear button on your recent list leaves it, clearing site data removes it.
• anonysnap:viewed, anonysnap:queue-avatars, anonysnap:sticky-username and anonysnap:sticky-search — the profile you opened last and the state of the search box.
• anonysnap:muted, anonysnap:columns, anonysnap:comments-panel, anonysnap:history-tab, anonysnap:hidden-defaults and anonysnap-theme — display preferences.

What travels when I look someone up?

The username goes to Anonysnap’s own lookup service, which asks Snapchat for that account’s public page and sends back what is on it. The service does the asking itself; your Snapchat account is never involved.

The service can see your IP address, the username and the random browser ID. It uses them for the bot check and for rate limits. The only link it keeps between your browser and a username is the bot-check pass, which expires after 30 minutes; public profile data it fetched is deleted 30 minutes after the last lookup for that account.

Before a lookup, the page may run Cloudflare Turnstile, a bot check loaded from challenges.cloudflare.com. It is usually invisible, works from browser signals and your IP address under Cloudflare’s own privacy terms, and never asks for account details.

The pages themselves are static files delivered by Cloudflare Pages, which handles connection data for delivery, caching and abuse protection under Cloudflare’s terms.

Is my visit measured?

No. No analytics or session-recording script runs on this site at the moment.

If one is ever added, this answer will name it and the date at the top will move.

Are there ads?

No. Anonysnap shows no ads. If that changes, this answer, the comparison tables and the date at the top change before any ad appears.

Can I see, correct or delete my data?

Almost everything is in your own browser, where you can delete it yourself by clearing this site’s data. On our side there is no account and no lasting record tied to you, so there is usually nothing to hand over.

You can still write to us under the GDPR (EU and UK), the CCPA/CPRA (California) or similar laws to ask what is held, or to have it corrected, erased or restricted. Under California’s definitions of selling and sharing personal information, we do neither.

Data held by Cloudflare for the services named above is covered by their own privacy controls, and you can raise requests with them directly.

What about children?

Anonysnap is not meant for children under 13, or under the age of digital consent where you live if that is higher.

Anonysnap is not meant for children, and we do not knowingly collect anything about them. If you think a child’s data has reached us, tell us and we will deal with it.

How will I know if this changes?

The date at the top of the page is the record: it moves whenever the policy changes in substance. There is no mailing list.

For any question about this policy or a request under the rights above, write to hello@anonysnap.com.
