Ringsnip privacy policy
Last updated 9 October 2026. En español
The short version: your videos and sounds stay on your iPhone. We have no accounts and never see what you pick or make. The app sends us a few pseudonymous counts, like "the app was opened", so we know it works. The app shows no ads.
Who we are
Ringsnip is an iPhone app made by 123TEQ LLC ("we"). Questions about this policy: use the contact form.
Your videos and sounds
You choose a video through Apple's own picker (Photos or Files), so the app only sees the videos you pick, not your library. The sound is cut and saved on your iPhone, in the app's folder in Files. Nothing is uploaded to us or anyone else. When you share a sound, it goes wherever you choose to send it. Saved files carry their name only: no location, no camera details.
What the app sends us
To learn whether the app works, it sends our server (config.shovelware.ai) short event records:
- that the app was opened;
- the app version and "ios";
- a random number made by the app when it is first installed, so we can count installs. It is not your Apple ID, your device ID or the advertising identifier, and it isn't linked to you. Deleting the app deletes it.
The app sends nothing else and fetches nothing from the server. These records never include any video, sound, or file name. We don't sell or share them, and we don't use them to track you across other apps or websites.
Advertising
The app shows no ads and contains no advertising code. It doesn't use the advertising identifier or any device identifier, and it doesn't collect your location. Nothing the app sends us is shared with advertisers or data brokers.
Children
The app isn't aimed at children and sends us nothing that identifies anyone.
Your choices
You can delete any sound in the app or in Files. Because nothing we hold is linked to you, there is no account to delete. Deleting the app removes everything it kept on your phone.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page.
