Privacy Policy
Last updated August 31, 2026
This policy explains what data SnapDub (snapdub.ai), operated by Aheront Ltd, a company based in Bulgaria ("we", "us"), collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. It reflects how the Service actually works.
1. Data we collect
- Account data - your name, email, and a securely hashed password. We never store your password in plain text.
- Media you submit - videos you upload; for URL ingestion, the link you provide and the video downloaded from it; and any reference voice sample you provide for dubbing.
- Generated output - transcripts, translations, dubbed audio, and the vertical clips we produce for you.
- Billing data - your subscription status and credit ledger. Payments are handled by Stripe; we store a Stripe customer reference but never see or store full card numbers.
- Connected account data - if you connect TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube (Google) to post directly, we store the platform account's basic identifier (handle/display name) and the OAuth tokens needed to publish on your behalf. See section 4 for exactly what each platform shares with us.
- Technical data - logs, IP address, and timestamps used for security, abuse prevention, and reliability.
2. How we use it
To run the processing pipeline (transcription, moment detection, translation, optional dubbing/voice-cloning, optional lip-sync, captioning, and 9:16 export), deliver your clips, manage credits and billing, keep the Service secure, and prevent abuse. We do not sell your personal data or use your videos to train models for third parties.
We don't routinely watch your videos, but we may access, scan, or remove content where necessary to operate the Service, resolve a support request, or enforce our Terms - including the prohibition on stolen/infringing and illegal content (such as sexual, extreme-violence, or abuse material). Illegal content, in particular any child sexual abuse material, is removed and reported to the relevant authorities.
3. Where processing happens & who we share with
We rely on a small set of subprocessors:
- Cloudflare R2 - object storage for your source media and generated clips.
- RunPod - on-demand GPU compute that runs our processing workers.
- Stripe - subscription billing and card verification.
- Video URL sources (e.g. YouTube) - accessed only when you supply a link you're authorised to use.
- TikTok, Instagram, YouTube (Google) - only if you choose to connect an account, so we can publish a clip on your behalf (see section 4).
- Open-source AI models (speech-to-text, translation LLM, voice synthesis, lip-sync) run on our own infrastructure - your media is not sent to external AI APIs for processing. Model files may be fetched from providers such as Hugging Face.
4. Connected posting accounts (TikTok, Instagram & YouTube)
Connecting a platform is optional, available from Settings, and only requests the minimum access needed to post a clip for you. You can disconnect at any time, which immediately deletes the stored tokens; access/refresh tokens are encrypted at rest while connected, and we never see your platform password.
- TikTok. We request
user.info.basic(your display name and avatar, to show which account is connected) andvideo.publish(to post a rendered clip to your account). A clip is only ever posted when you press Post and fill in TikTok's own posting form in SnapDub - you choose the caption, who can view the post, and the comment/Duet/Stitch settings each time; we never pick those for you. We can't see your other TikTok videos, followers, or messages. - Instagram. Using Instagram Login (no Facebook Page required), we request
instagram_business_basic(your username) andinstagram_business_content_publish(to publish a Reel on your behalf with the caption you configured). We can't see your other Instagram content, direct messages, or followers. If you'd like any Instagram data we hold deleted, disconnect the account in Settings, or see our Instagram Data Deletion Instructions; deleting your SnapDub account (section 6) also erases it. - YouTube (Google). We request the
youtube.uploadscope (to upload a rendered clip to your channel) plus basic OpenID profile/email scopes to identify which Google account is connected. We deliberately do not request the broaderyoutube.readonlyscope and cannot see your other YouTube videos, subscriptions, or comments. Uploads currently arrive as private, so only you can view and publish them from YouTube Studio.
Google API Services User Data Policy. SnapDub's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
5. Voice & likeness
A reference voice sample is used solely to produce the dub you requested for that job and is not used for any other purpose. Because voice and face data can be sensitive, you must have consent from anyone whose voice or likeness you process (see our Terms).
6. Data retention & deletion
Your source media and clips are retained while your account is active so you can access them. Public demo links are automatically deleted after 14 days. You can delete individual projects/clips at any time. Backups and logs are purged on a rolling basis.
Deleting your account (right to erasure). From Settings → Delete account (or by contacting us) you can erase your account at any time. When you do, we immediately and permanently: (a) delete all your source videos and clips, and their stored files; (b) delete and revoke any connected posting accounts (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube) and the access tokens we held for them; and (c) anonymise your account - your name, email address and password are wiped so nothing that identifies you remains.
What we retain, and why: an anonymised record of billing/credit transactions where we are legally required to keep financial records, and a hashed/limited signup identifier used solely to prevent free-credit abuse and fraud (our legitimate interest). These no longer identify you.
7. Your rights
Depending on your location (e.g. under GDPR/UK GDPR or CCPA) you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You can erase your account yourself at any time (see section 6), or exercise any of these rights by contacting us - we respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.
8. Cookies & local storage
We use essential cookies: a session cookie to keep you signed in, an optional "remember me" cookie, and a cookie that records your cookie-consent choice. If you accept the cookie banner, Google additionally sets analytics and advertising cookies on our public pages - see the next paragraph.
On our public pages (the homepage, demo links, and sign-in/sign-up) we use Google Analytics (GA4), to understand how visitors find and use SnapDub, and Google Ads, to measure our own advertising. Until you accept the cookie banner both run in a consent-denied mode: nothing is stored on your device, no identifiers are used, and Google receives only cookieless signals that cannot be tied to you. If you accept, they set analytics and advertising cookies and measure your visit normally - which pages are viewed, how far a page is scrolled, and navigation between pages. If you decline, or ignore the banner, they stay in the cookieless mode. Neither runs on the signed-in product itself. See Google's Privacy Policy for how Google processes this data.
9. Security
Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Passwords are hashed, connected-account OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest, worker callbacks are signed and token-authenticated, and access to media is scoped to your account. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data.
10. International transfers
We're based in Bulgaria (EU), but our storage and compute providers may process data outside the EU/EEA, including in the United States. Where that happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) as required by GDPR.
11. Children
SnapDub isn't intended for anyone under 16, and we don't knowingly collect their data.
12. Changes & contact
We may update this policy; material changes will be posted here with a new "last updated" date. Privacy questions? Contact us.
