Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

Overview

ZNIMOK ("we", "our") operates znimok.com. We provide (1) an SEO analytics workspace that connects to Google Search Console and Google Analytics, and (2) desktop screenshot applications for Windows and macOS. This policy explains how we handle data when you use these products.

SEO workspace accounts

When you create an account on znimok.com we store your email, name, password hash, and workspace/site settings. We use email to verify your account and send transactional messages (for example password reset or confirmation links).

Google Search Console and Google Analytics connection

If you choose to connect Google, we request read-only access to Google Search Console and Google Analytics so we can show performance reports for sites you add. Google shows the exact scopes before you approve.

We store OAuth refresh tokens in encrypted form on our servers, together with the Google account email used for the connection and the Search Console / Analytics properties you select. We use this access only to fetch and display analytics for your workspace. We do not sell this data or use it for advertising.

You can disconnect Google at any time from the site settings in the dashboard. After disconnect we delete the stored refresh token for that site.

When you share a screenshot from the desktop app, we store the flattened image (including any annotations you drew before sharing) on our servers and provide a private link. Anyone with the link can view the image and, unless you remove it earlier, leave comments.

Retention of image content:

Anonymous / device-only sharing: image content is removed after 48 hours.
Signed-in Google accounts: image content is removed after 7 days.

When image content expires or is deleted by the owner, the shared page no longer shows the image. Titles, comments, and certain activity records may be retained in our database for product analytics, abuse prevention, and service operation, as described below. We do not use shared screenshot content for advertising.

Device identity

The desktop app creates a random device identifier and secret on first launch. This lets you own shared screenshots, see Recent activity, and receive notifications without creating an account. Device credentials are stored securely on your computer. We store a hashed verification value on our servers: not your raw secret.

You may optionally sign in with Google to extend screenshot retention to 7 days and sync history across linked devices. We receive your Google account identifier, email, and display name from Google. Marketing emails are never sent unless you separately opt in.

Comment data

Comments may include your chosen display name, comment text, and anchor positions on the image. Browser visitors receive a secure anonymous token so they can edit or delete their own comments. We enforce rate limits and active comment quotas to reduce abuse.

Website analytics

We use Google Analytics on public website pages to understand traffic and improve the product. You can limit tracking via browser extensions or privacy settings. Admin and shared screenshot pages use noindex where appropriate.

Download tracking

When you click a download button, we log the platform, IP address, user agent, referrer, and approximate location (country/city if available) for aggregate statistics.

App telemetry

ZNIMOK does not send screenshot pixels, OCR text, filenames, clipboard contents, or window titles in telemetry. The app may send privacy-minimal operational data such as app version, platform, language, country (derived from IP on the server), and aggregated counters (e.g. screenshots created per week). You can disable optional anonymous usage statistics in Settings → Privacy.

Essential server communication (sharing, sync, updates, account sign-in) still occurs when you use those features.

AI features (legacy)

Older app versions may have offered optional AI screenshot analysis via the website. AI sessions use separate temporary storage and are not part of the screenshot comment collaboration flow.

Data deletion

Owners can delete shared screenshots before expiry. You may contact us to request deletion of account-linked personal data. Aggregate statistics that are no longer reasonably attributable to an individual may be retained for product improvement.
