SNB DEV
Legal
Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information SNB DEV collects when you visit snbdev.com, buy a key, or use Vidlyn and Auto Publisher (the "Software"), and what we do with it. We try to collect as little as possible. We act in line with Sri Lanka's Personal Data Protection Act, No. 9 of 2022.
1. What we collect
When you buy a key
Our payment partner, PayHere, takes your payment and passes us your email address, the order reference and whether the payment succeeded. We never see or store your card number.
When you activate and use the Software
The Software contacts our licence server when it starts. The server records:
- your licence key and the email address it was sold to;
- an anonymous device ID. It is made from your computer's system identifier by a one-way process and cannot be turned back into the identifier;
- your computer's name, as set in Windows;
- the Software version;
- your IP address when you activate and check in;
- the dates you first activated and last checked in.
On the website
We do not use cookies, advertising or analytics on snbdev.com, and the site has no accounts. Our hosting provider keeps ordinary server logs, which can include your IP address. The pages load fonts from Google Fonts and a library from Cloudflare, which means those providers see your IP address when you visit.
When you email us
We keep your emails and our replies so we can help you.
2. What we do not collect
Your scripts, videos, images, narration, API keys, and your YouTube, Facebook, Instagram or TikTok sign-ins stay on your own computer. The Software does not send us usage statistics, analytics or crash reports.
3. Why we use it
- to deliver your key and check that it is valid and used on one computer;
- to give support, move a key to a new computer, and resend lost keys;
- to spot and stop key sharing and abuse;
- to keep the accounting and tax records the law requires.
We do not sell your data and we do not use it for advertising.
4. Who we share it with
Only service providers that help us run the service, and only as needed:
- PayHere for payments;
- Render and Google (Firebase / Firestore) to host the licence server, its database and this website;
- GitHub, which hosts the installer downloads and can see the IP address of whoever downloads;
- Gmail, for the support mailbox.
We may also share information where the law requires it. Some of these providers store data outside Sri Lanka, so your information may be processed in other countries.
5. Services the Software contacts from your computer
When you use features that need them, the Software connects directly from your computer, using your own accounts and keys, to: the AI service you choose (Claude, ChatGPT or Codex, Gemini, OpenAI); Pexels, Wikimedia Commons, NASA and other image and footage libraries; and, if you use Auto Publisher, Google/YouTube, Facebook (Meta) and TikTok. We are not involved in those connections and their own privacy policies apply to them.
6. How long we keep it
We keep licence and device records while your key is valid and for up to 24 months after it ends, in case you return or need support. Payment and accounting records are kept as long as the law requires. You can ask us to delete your device records sooner (see section 8), but a deleted key cannot be restored.
7. Security
Licence data is held on reputable hosting with access limited to us. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot promise absolute security, but we will take reasonable steps to protect your information and will tell you if a breach affects you.
8. Your rights
You may ask to see the personal information we hold about you, correct it, or have it deleted, and you may object to how we use it. Email us from the address you bought with and we will respond within 30 days. You may also complain to the Data Protection Authority of Sri Lanka.
9. Children
The Software is not meant for people under 18, and we do not knowingly collect their information.
10. Changes
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top. We will say so on the site if the change is significant.
