Privacy Policy

Protecting your information while using Snappr

Last updated February 10, 2021.

Through our mobile application (the “App”) and website (the “Site”), Snappr, Inc. and Snappr Pty. Ltd. ABN 74 612 258 027 trading as Snappr (“Snappr,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) allows customers (“Customers”) and photographers (“Photographers”) to book photography engagements (the “Service”). This Privacy Policy describes the information that alone or in combination with other information could be used to identify you (“Personal Data”) that Snappr collects, how we use and share that data, and your choices concerning our data practices.

This Privacy Policy explains what Personal Data we collect, how we use and share that data, and your choices concerning our data practices.

Please read this Privacy Policy before using our Service or submitting any Personal Data to Snappr and contact us if you have any questions.

1. Information we collect

The Personal Data we collect varies based on who you are and what you choose to share with us. When you contact us or interact with our Service we collect categories of Personal Data as follows:

Account Data‍

When you create an account or start using the Service, we will generally collect your name, email, phone number, mailing address, your address book (if you are a Customer and you consent), and, if you are a Photographer, profile information (including a photograph and a description of your expertise).

Payment Data‍

We collect certain payment and billing information needed for us to (i) pay Photographers and (ii) accept payments from Customers. This information may include billing address, payment card or PayPal details, and, if you are a Photographer, your social security or tax identification number. We collect Payment Data via secure payment processing services.

Photograph Data

We collect details relating to shoots you book through the Service (i.e., the time and place of the shoot) and we collect and store the photographs that Photographers take for Customers. In addition, Customers in certain jurisdictions can make use of tools enabled by facial recognition. (Please note that facial recognition tools are only available in Australia and certain areas of the United States.) These tools will identify similar faces in the Customer’s photographs. The Customer can then tag someone, at which point the Service will identify the other photographs in which the tagged person appears and allow the Customer to easily share those photographs with the tagged person.

‍Communication Data‍

We may collect information when you contact us with questions or concerns and when you voluntarily respond to questionnaires, surveys or requests for market research seeking your opinion and feedback. Providing this information is optional to you.

Social Media Data

We have pages on social media sites like Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, and LinkedIn (“Social Media Pages”). When you interact with our Social Media Pages, we will collect Personal Data that you elect to provide to us through your settings on the Social Media Site, such as your contact details. In addition, the companies that host our Social Media Pages may provide us with aggregate information and analytics regarding the use of our Social Media Pages.

Third Party Data

We may receive information about Customers from third parties based on their professional email address, including your job title, employer, and location of work.
