Cookie & Storage Policy

📅 Last updated: February 2026 🏢 SnapTool Labs (a DBA of Redan Ventures LLC) 🌐 SnapToolApps

Overview

💡

Short version: SnapToolApps browser extensions do not drop tracking cookies. They use browser-native storage to save your settings and license status locally on your device — nothing is shared with advertisers.

This Cookie & Storage Policy explains how Redan Ventures LLC, doing business as SnapTool Labs, uses browser storage mechanisms across its extensions and web properties. Unlike traditional websites that rely heavily on HTTP cookies, our extensions primarily use Chrome's built-in storage APIs and browser-native mechanisms.

Browser Extensions vs. Websites

Browser extensions operate in a sandboxed environment separate from web pages. This means:

  • Extensions cannot read or write cookies on websites you visit unless the extension has been granted explicit permission to do so (and SnapToolApps extensions do not request this permission).
  • Extension storage is isolated from websites — no website can read data stored by our extensions.
  • Extension storage persists until you clear browser data or uninstall the extension.
  • We do not use third-party tracking, analytics cookies, or advertising pixels in our extensions.

Storage We Use

Here is every storage mechanism used by SnapToolApps extensions and the data stored in each:

⚙️

chrome.storage.local

Stores your extension preferences (theme, layout, feature toggles), Pro license status, and usage counters for free-tier limits. Data is stored only on your device and not synced anywhere by default.

Local only Persistent User clearable
☁️

chrome.storage.sync

Optionally syncs a subset of your preferences (e.g., theme, language) across devices if you are signed in to Chrome and sync is enabled. Only non-sensitive preferences are synced — never document content or financial data. Sync can be disabled in Chrome settings.

Synced via Google Preferences only User controllable

chrome.storage.session

Temporary, in-memory storage used during active browser sessions to hold processing state (e.g., current tool context). Automatically cleared when the browser is closed.

Session only Auto-cleared
🗄️

IndexedDB / localStorage (extension context)

Used as a temporary processing cache when handling large documents (e.g., multi-page PDFs). Cached data consists only of the file currently being processed and is not retained after the processing session ends.

Processing cache only User clearable

Website Cookies (snaptoolapps.com)

Our marketing website and web app may use the following types of cookies:

Strictly Necessary

Required for the website to function. These cannot be disabled. Examples: session authentication token, CSRF protection cookie, load balancer routing.

Functional

Remember your preferences such as language, theme, and region. These do not track you across third-party sites. You may disable these, but some features may not work correctly.

Analytics

If analytics are enabled, we may use privacy-respecting tools (e.g., Plausible or a self-hosted solution) that use no cookies and collect only aggregated, anonymized data such as page views and referrer information. No personal data or cross-site tracking is involved. We do not use Google Analytics or Meta Pixel.

Marketing / Advertising

We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels on our website. We do not serve ads or participate in behavioral advertising networks.

🍪

A cookie consent notice will be displayed on first visit to our website where required by applicable law (e.g., GDPR). Strictly necessary cookies are always active. You may opt out of functional and analytics cookies via the consent banner.

What We Do Not Do

  • ❌ We do not read, write, or intercept cookies on websites you browse.
  • ❌ We do not track your browsing history.
  • ❌ We do not inject scripts into third-party web pages.
  • ❌ We do not use advertising networks or sell cookie data.
  • ❌ We do not use fingerprinting or canvas-based tracking techniques.
  • ❌ We do not share storage data with external analytics platforms without anonymization.

How to Clear Extension Storage

You have full control over all storage used by our extensions. To clear it:

Google Chrome

  1. Open Chrome and go to Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data.
  2. Select "All time" from the time range dropdown.
  3. Check "Cached images and files" and/or "Cookies and other site data".
  4. Click "Clear data". This will reset all extension storage including settings and license cache.

Uninstalling the Extension

Uninstalling a SnapToolApps extension automatically removes all chrome.storage.local and IndexedDB data associated with it. Synced data in chrome.storage.sync may persist in your Google account until Chrome removes it after 30+ days of the extension being uninstalled.

Account Deletion

To delete your account and associated server-side data (if any), contact snap.tool.labs@gmail.com. Local extension data must be cleared manually via the steps above.

Third-Party Services

SnapToolApps extensions do not embed third-party SDKs, advertising libraries, or social widgets that could set cookies in your browser.

If you purchase a Pro subscription, you interact directly with our payment processor (e.g., Stripe). Stripe may set cookies on its checkout pages in accordance with Stripe's own privacy policy. We do not control those cookies.
