Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

Overview

SNAPE Audio is a one-person indie plugin developer. This policy explains what personal information we collect when you download free plugins from this site, why we collect it, and how we use it. We keep it short because our data practices are simple.

What We Collect

When you request downloads, we collect:

  • Your email address
  • The plugins you requested, and when
  • Your IP address, which we use to limit abuse and, if you opt in to updates, to record that consent
  • Whether you chose to receive plugin update emails, and if so the date and time, your IP address, and the version of the wording you saw when you agreed

We do not ask for your name, payment details, or any financial information. Downloads are free.

After your first request, this site saves a random token in your browser's local storage so you do not have to type your email again. It is not a tracking cookie and it is not shared with anyone. Choosing "change" in the downloads bar, or clearing your browser's site data, removes it.

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. This collects anonymised usage data such as pages visited and session duration. We do not link it to your email address. You can opt out via the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

How We Use It

Your information is used to:

  • Create your download links and email them to you
  • Keep download links working, and stop them being abused (links expire and have a download limit)
  • Respond to support requests
  • Send you emails about new SNAPE Audio plugins, but only if you ticked the box asking for them

The email containing your download links is a service message and is sent whether or not you ticked the updates box. Plugin update emails are sent only to people who ticked it. The box is never ticked for you.

We do not sell or rent your information, and we do not share it with anyone for their own marketing.

Unsubscribing

Every plugin update email includes an unsubscribe link. One click on it, then one confirm, and we stop sending them. You can also email support@snapeaudio.com and we will remove you by hand.

Where Your Data Is Stored

Your information is stored in a secured database on our web hosting server. Emails are sent through our web hosting provider's mail service. We do not use a separate CRM or marketing platform. If that changes, we will update this page before it does.

How Long We Keep It

We keep your email address until you ask us to delete it. If you would like your information removed, email us and we will delete it within 30 days, subject to any legal obligations to retain records.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your information
  • Withdraw your consent to plugin update emails at any time

To exercise any of these rights, email support@snapeaudio.com.

If You Are in the EU or UK

We rely on your consent to send plugin update emails, and you can withdraw it at any time. We rely on the need to deliver what you asked for when we send your download links, and on our interest in keeping the site secure when we log IP addresses and limit repeated requests. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

If You Are in California

We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, and we will not treat you differently for doing so.

Children's Privacy

Our products are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of our site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
