Privacy policy

Last updated: 8 November 2026

The short version: CubeSnap does not collect personal data. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no cookies, and your camera images never leave your device.

What CubeSnap collects

Nothing. CubeSnap is a static website: once it has loaded, the scanning, the color checks and the solver all run inside your browser. It has no server of its own that receives what you do in the app, and it does not use analytics, tracking pixels, advertising or third-party scripts. The font and every other file come from the same site.

The camera

  • The camera is only used when you choose Scan with Camera, and only after your browser asks you for permission.
  • Each picture is read in your device’s memory to find the sticker colors. Pictures are never uploaded, saved or shared.
  • The camera is switched off as soon as you leave the scan screen.

What is stored on your device

CubeSnap keeps a few things in your own browser, only on this device. None of it is sent anywhere, and you can clear it at any time in your browser’s settings (clear the site’s data).

  • Your theme choice (light or dark), in local storage, so it is remembered next time.
  • The cube you are working on: its sticker colors, the stickers the camera was unsure about and, once it has been found, its solution, in local storage. This is how Resume your cube works and why a reload or a discarded tab does not lose your work. It is replaced when you start another cube, and removed when you clear the site’s data. Pictures from the camera are never part of it.
  • An offline copy of the app (its code, styles, font and icons), in the browser’s cache, so it works without a connection.
  • A one-time reload note, in session storage, used only when a new version is released while the app is open. It is deleted when you close the tab.

Hosting

Like every website, CubeSnap is delivered by a web host. When your browser downloads the site, the host may record standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the time of the request, to keep the service running and secure. This is handled under the host’s own privacy policy. CubeSnap does not use this information to identify or track you.

CubeSnap links to a few other sites, such as GitHub. Those sites have their own privacy policies, which apply once you follow a link.

Children

CubeSnap collects no personal data from anyone, including children, so it can be used at any age.

Changes to this policy

If CubeSnap ever changes how it handles data, this page will be updated first and the date at the top will change.
