Privacy at a Glance
Introduction
At SnooHub ("we," "our," or "us"), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share information when you use our application.
TL;DR: We don't collect, store, or track any of your personal data. Everything stays on your device.
Privacy-First Approach
🛡️ What We DON'T Do:
- • Track your browsing behavior or history
- • Store your personal data on our servers
- • Share your information with third parties
- • Monitor what content you view or save
- • Use analytics or tracking scripts
- • Require account creation or login
Local Storage Only: SnooHub prioritizes your privacy by storing all your data locally on your device. Your favorites, preferences, and saved content remain completely private.
How SnooHub Works
SnooHub is a client-side application that connects directly to Reddit's public APIs from your device. This means:
- • Your device talks directly to Reddit's servers
- • We don't operate servers that store Reddit content
- • We don't act as an intermediary between you and Reddit
- • We don't log your Reddit API requests
- • All content is retrieved directly by your device
This architecture ensures your browsing remains private and complies with Reddit's Terms of Service.
Information Stored Locally
The following information is stored only on your device and never transmitted to our servers:
- Your app preferences and settings (theme, layout, etc.)
- Favorite subreddits and saved posts
- Custom tags and categories you create
- Browsing history (if enabled in settings)
- Downloaded media files (Premium feature)
- Premium upgrade status (verified through app store)
⚠️ Important Note:
If you uninstall the app or clear its data, all locally stored information will be permanently deleted. We cannot recover this data since it's not stored on our servers.
Premium Features and Data

Third-Party Services
SnooHub connects to these external services:
🟠 Reddit API
For retrieving content through their public API. Your interactions with Reddit are governed by Reddit's Privacy Policy.
💳 Patreon
For premium purchase processing and verification. We don't receive any personal payment information - Patreon handles all transactions securely.
📊 Google Analytics (Website Only)
Our website (snoohub.com) uses Google Analytics to understand visitor behavior and improve our site. This analytics tracking is NOT present in the SnooHub app - only on our website.
Website analytics may collect: page views, referral sources, device type, and general location (country/city level)
🔍 Important Distinction:
- • Website (snoohub.com): Uses Google Analytics for site improvement
- • SnooHub App: Zero analytics, tracking, or data collection
- • Your app usage: Completely private and never tracked
We do NOT integrate with: Social media trackers, or any other third-party tracking platforms in the app.

The app includes age verification to ensure compliance with this policy and applicable laws regarding adult content. If you are under 18, please do not use this application.
Data Security
Since SnooHub stores data locally on your device, your data security depends on:
- Your device's security settings and lock screen protection
- Keeping your device's operating system updated
- Using secure network connections when browsing
- Regular device backups (if you want to preserve your settings)
We recommend enabling device encryption and using strong authentication methods to protect your locally stored data.
