Privacy Policy

We built FormSnapp to be a tool you can trust. This policy explains exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we keep it safe. No legal maze — just plain language.

Last updated:

Overview

FormSnapp ("we", "us", "our") operates the FormSnapp form-builder platform, including the website at formsnapp.com, the dashboard at app.formsnapp.com, and the form-renderer at forms.formsnapp.com.

This Privacy Policy describes how we handle personal information when you use our services. By using FormSnapp, you agree to the practices described here.

The short version: you own your data. We process it only to run the service. We never sell it, and we never will.

Information we collect

Account information. When you sign up, we collect your name, email address, and a profile picture (if provided via Google sign-in). This information is stored in our database to identify your account.

Form content. Forms you build — including titles, questions, logic rules, and settings — are stored so we can render them to your respondents.

Response data. When someone fills in your form, we store their answers on your behalf. You are the controller of this data; we process it only as instructed by you.

File uploads. If your form includes a file-upload field, uploaded files are stored in Cloudflare R2 object storage and linked to the response record. You are responsible for any personal data contained in uploaded files.

Usage & technical data. We collect anonymised usage events (pages visited, features used) and error reports to understand how the product is being used and to fix bugs. This data does not identify you individually.

Payment data. If you upgrade to a paid plan, payment is processed by Dodo Payments. We never see or store your full card number. We receive only a plan identifier and subscription status.

How we use it

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the FormSnapp platform
  • Authenticate your account and keep it secure
  • Deliver responses and notifications to you as configured
  • Process payments and manage your subscription
  • Send transactional emails (e.g. your daily response summary, receipts, security alerts)
  • Diagnose errors and monitor platform health
  • Understand how features are used so we can build better ones
  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not use your form content or your respondents' answers to train AI models, for advertising, or for any purpose other than running the service you signed up for.

Data sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share data only with the sub-processors required to operate FormSnapp:

  • Vercel — application hosting and content delivery
  • Google Firebase — authentication (sign-in, session management)
  • MongoDB Atlas — primary database (forms, responses, accounts)
  • Cloudflare R2 — file upload storage
  • Resend — transactional email delivery
  • Upstash Redis — rate limiting and short-lived caches
  • Inngest — background job queue for notifications and webhooks
  • Dodo Payments — payment processing and subscription billing
  • Anthropic — AI form generation. When you use the AI generator, your prompt is sent to Anthropic's API to produce a form. Under Anthropic's commercial terms, your inputs and outputs are not used to train their models; your form responses are never sent to it.
  • PostHog — anonymised product analytics
  • Sentry — error monitoring and crash reporting

All sub-processors are bound by appropriate data processing agreements. We review them regularly and update this list when our stack changes.

Separately, if you connect an integration (Google Sheets, Slack, or Notion), your form responses are sent to that service at your direction. See Integrations & connected accounts below.

We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of FormSnapp, our users, or the public.

Integrations & connected accounts

FormSnapp lets you connect third-party services — currently Google Sheets, Slack, and Notion — so that new form responses are automatically delivered to the tools you already use. These integrations are optional and only active when you explicitly connect them.

What we access. When you connect a service, we use OAuth to request only the permissions needed to deliver your responses:

  • Google Sheets — permission to create and update spreadsheets in your Google Drive (scopes: spreadsheets and drive.file). We only ever touch spreadsheets FormSnapp creates on your behalf; we cannot see or modify any other file in your Drive.
  • Slack — permission to post response notifications to the channels you choose in your workspace.
  • Notion — permission to create pages in the databases you select.

How connection tokens are stored. The access and refresh tokens these services issue are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM and are used solely to deliver the responses you have configured. We never use them to read, browse, or collect any other data from your connected accounts, and we never share them. You can disconnect any integration at any time from your dashboard, which deletes the stored tokens; you can also revoke access directly from the provider (for example, from your Google Account permissions page).

Google Limited Use.FormSnapp's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not use Google user data for advertising, we do not sell it, and we do not use it to train AI or machine-learning models.

Data retention

We keep your account data and form content for as long as your account is active. If you delete a form, its responses are permanently deleted within 30 days.

If you close your account, we delete your personal data within 60 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or financial compliance (e.g. billing records, which we keep for 7 years in line with standard accounting requirements).

Response data submitted by your respondents is subject to your own retention decisions. You can delete individual responses or clear all responses from a form at any time from your dashboard.

Security

Where your data is stored. Your account data, forms, and responses are stored in our primary database (MongoDB Atlas) in the United States. Files uploaded through your forms are stored with Cloudflare R2 in the European Union. Wherever it lives, your data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

We take the security of your data seriously:

  • All data is encrypted in transit via TLS 1.2+
  • Data at rest is encrypted by our storage providers (MongoDB Atlas, Cloudflare R2)
  • Authentication uses short-lived session cookies (httpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax)
  • Rate limiting and bot protection are applied to all form submission endpoints
  • Access to production systems is restricted to authorised personnel

For a fuller picture of our controls — encryption, authentication, integration tokens, infrastructure, and reliability — see our Security page.

No system is perfectly secure. If you discover a security issue, please disclose it responsibly by emailing security@formsnapp.com.

Your rights

Depending on where you are located, you may have the following rights over your personal data:

  • Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Correction — ask us to fix inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Deletion — request that we delete your personal data
  • Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
  • Objection — object to certain types of processing
  • Restriction — ask us to limit how we use your data while a dispute is resolved

To exercise any of these rights, email us at support@formsnapp.com. We will respond within 30 days. We may ask you to verify your identity before acting on a request.

Cookies & analytics

FormSnapp uses a small number of cookies:

  • fs_session — an httpOnly session cookie used to keep you logged in. It does not track you across sites.
  • PostHog analytics cookies — anonymised usage tracking to help us improve the product. No personal identifiers are sent.

We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking pixels, or third-party marketing cookies. If you disable cookies, you will not be able to stay logged in.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you by email or with an in-app notice.

Your continued use of FormSnapp after changes are published constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
