1. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address, name, and password (stored hashed). If you sign in via Google or GitHub OAuth, we receive your name and email from those providers.

Upwork Integration Data: To connect SnipeWork to your Upwork account, you authorize access via OAuth. We store your Upwork access token (encrypted) and use it solely to interact with the Upwork API on your behalf. We do not store your Upwork password.

Profile & Preferences: Skills, categories, hourly rate range, job filter preferences, Telegram bot token, and other settings you configure inside the app.

Usage Data: Proposals generated, jobs scanned, quality scores, timestamps, and feature interactions — used to provide and improve the service.

Payment Data: Payments are processed by Paddle, our Merchant of Record. We do not store your full credit card number or banking details. We receive transaction confirmations and subscription status from Paddle.

Technical Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, and app version — collected for security, error diagnosis, and analytics.

Communications: If you contact us via email or Discord, we retain those communications to respond and improve support.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain the SnipeWork service
  • Scan Upwork job listings on your behalf via the official API
  • Generate AI-assisted proposals using your profile data
  • Send Telegram notifications for new matching jobs
  • Process and manage your subscription and payments
  • Communicate with you about your account, updates, and support
  • Monitor and improve app performance and security
  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

3. How We Share Your Information

We may share your information only with:

  • Paddle: Our payment processor and Merchant of Record for subscription management and billing.
  • Upwork: API requests are made to Upwork's servers using your authorized OAuth token.
  • AI Providers: Job data and profile context are sent to AI APIs (such as DeepSeek or OpenAI) to generate proposal drafts. We use these services under data processing agreements and do not share personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary.
  • Infrastructure Providers: Our servers and databases (e.g., cloud hosting) process your data to deliver the service. These providers are bound by data processing agreements.
  • Analytics: We use Google Analytics on our marketing website to understand traffic. This is governed by Google's privacy policy.
  • Legal Compliance: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect our legal rights.

4. Upwork Data

SnipeWork accesses Upwork data exclusively through Upwork's official API using permissions you explicitly authorize. We use this access to:

  • Retrieve job listings matching your configured search filters
  • Score and filter jobs using AI
  • Submit proposals on your behalf when you choose to do so

We do not scrape Upwork, store third-party client data beyond what is needed for job matching, or use your Upwork data for any purpose other than providing you the SnipeWork service.

5. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. Proposal history and job scan data are retained for the duration of your subscription, plus a reasonable grace period.

If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or legitimate business necessity (e.g., for dispute resolution or financial records).

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption at rest and in transit (TLS), hashed passwords, encrypted OAuth tokens, and access controls. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If you suspect a security issue with your account, please contact us immediately at support@snipework.com.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
  • Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten").
  • Portability: Request your data in a machine-readable format.
  • Objection: Object to certain types of processing.
  • Withdraw Consent: Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

To exercise these rights, contact us at support@snipework.com. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Cookies & Analytics

Our marketing website uses cookies for analytics (Google Analytics) and session management. The SnipeWork desktop application does not use browser cookies.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect website functionality.

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. This data is aggregated and anonymized. You can opt out via Google Analytics Opt-out.

9. Children's Privacy

SnipeWork is not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

10. International Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. By using SnipeWork, you consent to the transfer of your information to countries which may have different data protection laws. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for any international transfers.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by email or through the app. Your continued use of SnipeWork after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
