Snod

Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 1, 2026

Snod ("the app") is developed and operated by Michael Glauser. This policy describes what information the app handles, where it is stored, and when it is shared — including task sharing between customers, shops, and collaborators via iMessage.

Information You Enter

Snod stores only data you explicitly provide. That includes:

  • Task data — titles, descriptions, customer or order references, resource lists, dependencies, status, and emergency flags
  • Categories — names and colors you create to organize your board
  • Photos — up to five images per task, attached from your photo library or camera
  • Files — documents you attach to tasks (for example reference PDFs, invoices, or spec sheets)
  • Owner profile — your name, email address, and phone number, used to identify you as the sender when you share tasks with someone else
  • Originator records — names (and optionally contact details) for people who sent you a shared task
  • App settings — theme, font size, kanban title, and backup preferences, stored on your device
  • Local backups — optional JSON exports you create and save on your device or to a location you choose

Snod does not collect your location, contacts list, browsing history, or device identifiers beyond what Apple's operating system provides to apps running on your iPhone or iPad.

How Your Data Is Stored

Your board — tasks, categories, originators, photo metadata, and file metadata — is stored in your private iCloud database through Apple's CloudKit, tied to your Apple ID. Apple processes this data under their own privacy policy, available at apple.com/legal/privacy.

Syncing between your own devices: When you use Snod on multiple devices signed in to the same iCloud account, your task data syncs automatically through CloudKit. Photos and file attachments also sync across your devices — image and document bytes travel through CloudKit so your board looks the same on your iPhone and iPad.

On-device storage: Photo and file bytes are also cached in the app's private storage on each device for fast display. App settings (theme, font size, and similar preferences) are stored locally using standard iOS storage and are not synced to iCloud.

Local backups: If you use Snod's backup feature, JSON files are written to storage you control on your device. The developer does not receive these files.

Sharing Tasks with Others

Snod's "Send to Someone" feature lets you share a task as a rich card in iMessage. This is an opt-in action you initiate — nothing is shared unless you explicitly send it.

When you share a task, the recipient may receive:

  • Your name, email address, and phone number from your Owner profile, so they know who sent the job and how to reach you when it's done
  • The task snapshot — title, description, customer or order reference, resources needed, category, emergency status, and attached photos and files at the time of sharing
  • A tap-to-open link on the iMessage card in the form https://www.snodapp.com/share/…. That URL tells Snod which shared task to import. It includes a reference to Apple's CloudKit share (in the link's query parameters) and your sender identity — not the full task payload, which lives in CloudKit

Shared task data — titles, descriptions, photos, files, and the rest — is stored in Apple's CloudKit sharing infrastructure, not on the Snod website. The recipient accesses it through their own Apple ID and iCloud account. The snodapp.com link is only there so iOS can open the Snod app to the right import screen; our web server does not receive, store, or process your task content when someone taps that link.

Completion notifications: When someone who received your task marks it Done, Snod can send you an iMessage with a similar snodapp.com/share/… link back to the completed work — including any photos or files they attach at completion (for example finished-job photos or an invoice). You choose whether to send that notification each time; it is never automatic.

What We Do Not Do

  • We do not sell, rent, or trade your data
  • We do not use third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs
  • We do not operate a backend that stores your board — task data lives in iCloud and on your devices. The Snod website hosts support and privacy pages and the technical file Apple needs for app-opening links; it does not hold your Kanban data
  • We do not read your iMessages; sharing happens through Apple's Messages app and CloudKit, which are subject to Apple's policies

Voice Commands (Siri)

Snod supports Siri and App Intents so you can add, complete, and query tasks by voice. Voice input is processed by Apple's Siri service on your device. Snod does not record or store your voice; it receives only the text or intent result Apple passes to the app.

This Website

The Snod website at snodapp.com (the site you are reading now) is separate from the iOS app's data store. It provides support and privacy pages and hosts the configuration Apple uses so https://www.snodapp.com/share/… links can open Snod instead of a web page. The site does not receive, store, or process your task data, photos, or iCloud content.

Visiting pages here, or tapping a share link that uses this domain, may create standard web server access logs (for example the link path and time of the request). Those logs are not linked to your Snod app account because Snod has no app-side login, and they do not include the contents of your tasks or attachments.

Data Retention and Deletion

Your data is retained as long as you use the app. You can delete data at any time:

  • Individual items — delete tasks, photos, files, and categories within the app; deleting a task removes its on-disk attachments on that device and syncs the record deletion to your other devices via iCloud
  • Your entire board — Clear Board (board menu) deletes all tasks, photos, files, and categories. Photo and file bytes are removed immediately on the device that clears; the deletion syncs to other devices signed in to the same iCloud account, and each device purges local attachment files when it syncs or opens the app
  • Local app data — uninstalling Snod removes all data stored locally on that device, including attachment files and in-app JSON backups
  • iCloud data — to remove synced data from iCloud after uninstalling, go to Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage → Snod → Delete Data from iCloud
  • Exports you saved elsewhere — JSON backups or files you moved to Files, email, or other apps are your responsibility to delete separately
  • Shared tasks — CloudKit share records persist according to Apple's CloudKit retention rules until the share owner or participant removes them

For step-by-step guidance on Clear Board and a full "Big Hammer" wipe, see our Support page.

Children's Privacy

Snod is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided data through the app, please contact us and we will address it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The current version is always available at this page. Continued use of the app after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
