Privacy Policy
The short version: we keep what sshot needs to work, we don’t sell it, and we don’t show you ads.
What we collect
- Account details: your email, username, display name, bio and profile photo.
- Your screenshots: the images you save, their size, the date, which collection they belong to and where they sit on the canvas.
- Text inside screenshots: the Mac app reads the text in each capture on your Mac and sends it with the upload, so you can search it. Images aren’t sent anywhere else to be read.
- Technical data: a login cookie to keep you signed in, and basic server logs (like IP address and time of request) kept for security.
What the Mac app does
- It only captures the area you select after pressing your shortcut. It doesn’t record your screen in the background.
- macOS asks for Screen Recording permission because that’s what selecting an area requires.
- Captures that can’t upload right away wait on your Mac and upload when you’re back online.
Who can see your screenshots
- Collections are private by default. Only you can see them.
- A public collection can be viewed by anyone with its link.
- Your profile page shows your username, display name, bio, photo and your public collections.
Where your data lives
sshot runs on Supabase, which stores our database and files. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We don’t share your data with anyone else, except when the law requires it.
Your choices
- Edit your profile or delete screenshots and collections at any time. Deleting them removes them from your library.
- Delete your account and everything in it from Edit profile → Delete account. It’s removed right away.
- To get a copy of your data, email hello@sshot.co. We’ll send it within 30 days.
- No tracking or advertising cookies. We only use the cookie that keeps you logged in.
