Snipx is an independently run personal project — a free UTM link builder, shortener, and landing-page tool. This page explains what data Snipx collects, why, which cookies it sets, and how you can control that. It isn't run by a registered company; if you have questions, reach out at info@snipx.in.
If you create an account, we store your username, a salted hash of your password (never the password itself), and, if you choose to provide it, an email address used only for password recovery.
The URLs, UTM parameters, custom slugs, tags, and landing-page content (titles, bios, buttons, colors) you create are stored so the product can function — generate short links, render your landing page, and show your dashboard.
When a short link or landing page is visited, we record click/view counts and, via our analytics provider
PostHog, a few technical details about the visit: an approximate location (city/country/region, derived from
IP address — the raw IP itself is also processed but not permanently retained by us beyond what PostHog
stores), browser user agent, referring page, and which UTM parameters were present. This data is tied to an
anonymous visitor ID stored in the snipx_vid cookie described below, not to your real-world
identity, unless you're logged in.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
auth_token |
Keeps you signed in. | 7 days | Strictly necessary |
snipx_vid |
Anonymous visitor ID used to correlate clicks/views for analytics. | 1 year | Analytics |
| PostHog cookies | Set by our analytics provider (PostHog) to recognize repeat visits and sessions. | Varies (PostHog-managed) | Analytics |
We also use localStorage (not a cookie, but similar in effect) to remember your light/dark theme
preference and your cookie consent choice — these never leave your browser.
When you first visit Snipx, a banner lets you Accept or Reject analytics
cookies. Rejecting stops the client-side analytics SDK from capturing your activity in your browser. Note that
some basic click/view analytics on links and pages you interact with are recorded server-side regardless of
this choice, since that's how the product measures link performance for its creators — the "Reject" choice
controls tracking of you as a visitor, not the operation of the link/page itself. The auth_token
cookie is always set for logged-in sessions, since it's required for the site to function.
You can change your choice at any time via the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer of any page.
We don't sell your data, and we don't share it with anyone beyond what's needed to run the service above.
You can request a copy of your data or ask us to delete your account and associated data at any time by emailing info@snipx.in. As this is currently a manual process rather than a self-serve tool, please allow a few days for a response.
Snipx is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from them.
If this policy changes materially, we'll update the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of Snipx after a change means you accept the updated policy.
