Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 25, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Vladyslav Fedoniuk ("I", "me", or "my") handles your information when you use the Snoq desktop application and visit https://snoq.io.

By using Snoq, you consent to the practices described in this policy. Snoq is designed with privacy as a core principle - your notes never leave your device unless you explicitly export them.

1. Information Collection

Snoq is built to minimize data collection:

Website Interactions

  • Contact form submissions
  • Download requests

Application Data

  • Optional error reports (sent only with your permission)
  • No collection of note content or metadata

Zero-Knowledge Encryption

All note content is encrypted with AES-256 before storage. Your encryption key is derived from your password and never leaves your device. Even if you submit error reports, your note content remains private.

2. Data Usage

Collected information is used exclusively for:

Improving application stability
Responding to support requests
Understanding feature usage
Preventing application abuse

3. Website Analytics

Cloudflare Web Analytics

The Snoq website uses privacy-focused Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand traffic patterns without cookies or extensive tracking. Learn more at Cloudflare's Web Analytics page.

4. Data Security

Snoq implements multiple layers of security:

  • All note content encrypted with AES-256 before storage
  • Encryption keys derived from your password using Argon2id
  • No network communication required for core functionality
  • All encryption/decryption happens locally on your device
  • Optional error reports contain no note content

Local-First Architecture

Snoq is designed as a local-first application. Your notes are stored only on your device unless you explicitly choose to export them. There is no cloud sync functionality that could potentially expose your data.

5. Policy Changes

I may update this Privacy Policy as needed. Significant changes will be announced through the application or website.
