What you accept

If you use this site

Everyday words for the material promises and rights you give up. Each line includes a quote from the document.

Fineprint cannot see whether you agreed. This page is posted on their site. Open the original if you need to know how they say it applies.

  1. 01

    You are agreeing that these rules can follow you to other products, venues, or affiliates of the company.

    Other products, stores, or brands

    “**Information You Provide** Many of our Services require you to set up an account.”
  2. 02

    You are agreeing that the company may keep your data for an open-ended period.

    This product

    “If location information is associated with a Snap — like those saved to Memories or posted to Snap Map or Spotlight — we’ll retain that location as long as we store the Snap.”
  3. 03

    You are agreeing that the company may collect location or other sensitive data.

    This product

    “Of course, you’ll also provide us with information you send through or save within our Services, including content and information about that content, and content you share and generate with our AI Features (content, or “Inputs,” including text, images, video, audio, precise location, and engagement, including content you share with My AI, used to generate content and responses, or “Outputs,”).”
  4. 04

    You are agreeing to terms that may still collect or retain data about children.

    This product

    “_ Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and you must confirm that you are 13 years or older in order to create an account and use our Services.”

What it can cost you

Downsides we could quote

Quoted clauses that can affect your privacy, money, or right to go to court — including terms that follow you to other products.

Highest-cost clauses first

High cost

Terms follow you to parks, stores, and other products

You are agreeing that these rules can follow you to other products, venues, or affiliates of the company.

“**Information You Provide** Many of our Services require you to set up an account.”

What that means: A click in one product can later be used to block a lawsuit about a park, store, or different service.

Accepting this document can bind you beyond this app — including physical venues or sister brands.

High cost

Location or sensitive-data over-collection

You are agreeing that the company may collect location or other sensitive data.

“Of course, you’ll also provide us with information you send through or save within our Services, including content and information about that content, and content you share and generate with our AI Features (content, or “Inputs,” including text, images, video, audio, precise location, and engagement, including content you share with My AI, used to generate content and responses, or “Outputs,”).”

What that means: Higher-risk details about you can be stored and shared under the same broad terms.

The company collects location or other sensitive categories of data.

Medium cost

Indefinite retention

You are agreeing that the company may keep your data for an open-ended period.

“If location information is associated with a Snap — like those saved to Memories or posted to Snap Map or Spotlight — we’ll retain that location as long as we store the Snap.”

What that means: Old account data can linger long after you expected it to be gone.

Retention is open-ended or justified with vague business interests.

Medium cost

Children’s data

You are agreeing to terms that may still collect or retain data about children.

“_ Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and you must confirm that you are 13 years or older in order to create an account and use our Services.”

What that means: A child’s account or device can still generate a data trail.

The document addresses children but may still collect or retain youth data.

If these terms already apply to you

Keep this list. Fineprint cannot undo or cancel something you already agreed to at the company.

We cannot see Agree on their site. With Premium, tap “I accepted these terms” if you already agreed to what Snap asks.
