Your Mac. Your files. Your call.

Screenshots, recordings, editable projects, and recognized text are saved locally. Text and QR recognition run on your Mac. Uploading is your choice. Share selected captures manually, or turn on Auto-upload in Znip Cloud to upload each new screenshot and completed recording and copy its share link. Auto-upload is off by default and uploads screenshots before you edit them; turn it off when capturing private content.

Editable projects retain original content. Share a flattened export when redacting private details.

If you request an invite, we store your email and the time and contact permission from your request. We use them to reply about access to Znip. A request creates no account and grants no product access. We do not add you to a marketing newsletter.

Save the private removal link shown after your first request, or email hey@znip.app to withdraw it. Repeated requests keep the original removal link.

We use your email to send sign-in codes, associate purchases, and manage your account. Device activation records identify your licensed Macs. This information is needed to provide your account and license. Polar handles payment details, receipts, and subscriptions; Znip does not store your card details.

Polar’s privacy policy

Your chosen uploads and their filenames are stored using Cloudflare R2 and D1. Anyone with a public share link can access that capture while sharing is active. Delete a capture in Znip Cloud to remove the hosted file and stop its link. Keep local originals: Cloud is not a backup guarantee.

After a subscription expires, public links stop; you can sign in to download and delete stored files within the usage limits. We do not currently automatically delete files on expiry. Email us to request account or data deletion.

When you choose Send report, we receive your description and optional reply email. App and system details are optional and off by default. You can choose to include them in Report a bug or Settings → Privacy, and turn that choice off later. Screenshots and recordings are not attached automatically.

If you include technical details, we receive the app's version, build and source information, macOS version and processor architecture. We also record the purpose, notice version, choice and time. Hardware serial numbers, device or account identifiers, license keys, file paths and logs are not attached automatically.

Report records and their submitted choices are stored in our service for up to 90 days. Reports are also forwarded to our support inbox so we can investigate and reply; email copies and correspondence may be kept for as long as needed to handle the issue. Turning the choice off affects future reports; it cannot recall a report already sent. For a data or deletion request, email hey@znip.app with the report reference.

Screen & System Audio Recording, Camera, Microphone, and Accessibility permissions are used for features you choose. Manage them in System Settings → Privacy & Security. Temporary rate-limit records help prevent abuse. Hosting providers may process network metadata to deliver and protect the service.

This website uses Google Analytics 4, provided by Google LLC, to measure visits. It loads when a page opens and receives page addresses, referring sites, approximate location, browser and device information, and how you use the page. It sets first-party cookies named _ga and _ga_* to tell visits apart, kept for up to two years. Google signals and ad personalization are turned off, and we do not use advertising cookies. We do not send sign-in codes, payment details, form entries, or bug report contents to analytics.

To opt out, block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Google’s privacy policy

Separately from Google Analytics, Cloudflare Web Analytics is off until you choose Allow analytics. If you allow it, Cloudflare Web Analytics receives page paths, referring sites, browser and device categories, and loading measurements to help us improve this website. It does not use advertising cookies. We do not send sign-in codes, payment details, form entries, or bug report contents to analytics.

Choose Keep analytics off to decline. To withdraw later, open Privacy choices in the footer and choose Turn analytics off. The page reloads to stop the analytics code. Invite requests, support links and existing-customer access still work.

We remember this choice in this browser for up to 180 days. The local record contains the measurement purpose, notice version, choice and times; it has no email or visitor identifier. Clearing browser storage removes the choice. A changed purpose or notice asks you again. If JavaScript is disabled or a choice cannot be saved, Cloudflare measurements stay off.

This choice controls Cloudflare measurements only; it does not turn off Google Analytics (see above). Necessary hosting, delivery and security requests still reach our providers. Some providers use security cookies; those are separate from optional analytics.

Cloudflare’s privacy policy

Cloudflare hosts the website and Cloud service and helps deliver and protect requests. Google provides website analytics. Polar provides checkout, payment and subscription services. Our email providers deliver sign-in and service messages, and our support mailbox receives messages you send us. These providers may process data in other countries. Their roles and applicable protections depend on the service.

We use account, payment and sharing information to provide the services you request, and limited security records to prevent abuse. Optional Cloudflare measurements use your separate choice. An invite request permits contact about that request; it is not newsletter consent.

Email hey@znip.app to ask for access to your data, a correction, deletion, or a copy. You can also ask us to limit use, object to a use, or withdraw a permission. Tell us which service or email address the request concerns; do not send passwords or license keys. We may need to verify that the data belongs to you.

Deletion can remove access or shared links. Some payment or security records may need to be kept for applicable obligations. If you previously subscribed to email updates, your saved removal link still works. You may contact your local data protection authority about a concern.
