Privacy

Effective .

Last updated .

This privacy notice is in effect as of 2026-10-16.

The website does not offer accounts, and it does not ask for age or birthdate. If you buy a paid plan, Link and Stripe collect your email and payment details at checkout; see "Paid plans" below. The calculators and tools do not store creator metrics; a calculation uses only the JSON the caller sends, and query logging of those inputs is not enabled. The one exception is Eligibility Watch, a paid feature: numbers you choose to save there are stored as described in "Eligibility Watch" below.

Rate limiting stores an HMAC-SHA-256 of the IP prefix (the full IPv4 address, or the first 64 bits of an IPv6 address) in a short-lived counter. The limit on issuing free API keys uses the first 56 bits of an IPv6 address instead. The user agent is not included. The HMAC key is derived for the current UTC day from a server secret and is not stored. The raw address is not written into the rules database.

To ask about data, write to hello@howtomakemoneyonsnapchat.com. We will honor deletion requests, except for billing records we must keep (see "Paid plans" below). You can also export or delete your Eligibility Watch data yourself (see "Eligibility Watch" below).

Usage log and API keys

When a tool is called we record which tool, how it was called (website, API, or AI-assistant connection), time, success or error, response time, the rules version used, a two-letter country code from our hosting provider, the API key's ID if one was used, and a daily HMAC-SHA-256 of that same IP prefix. That HMAC uses a key derived for the UTC day and then discarded, so the stored value can't be turned back into an IP address without that server secret. We use it for rate limits, abuse prevention, improving the service, and billing (for example, counting calls against a credit pack). We do not store IP addresses, browser details, or the stats you enter. This is also true for Eligibility Watch: the log records that the tool was called, not the numbers you saved. Raw usage records are deleted after 90 days and only daily totals are kept. API keys are stored only as a one-way hash so we can't recover a lost key. On a paid plan we can replace it with a new key instead (see "Eligibility Watch" below).

Site updates

You can choose to get email when Snap's rules or our tools change. The form is optional. The calculator, the guides, and the API work the same if you leave it blank.

The form asks for an email address. Submitting it is your request to hear from us. We email you a confirmation link. The message includes an unsubscribe link. We do not add you, and we do not store the address, until you open the confirmation link. That link expires after 48 hours.

After you confirm, we store three things and nothing else about the signup:

The HMAC key is derived for that UTC day from a server secret and is not stored. The stored value can't be turned back into an IP address without that server secret. We do not store your name, your raw IP address, or your browser details.

We use the address only to send those updates. We use the consent time and the hashed IP to record that you asked for the mail and to limit abuse. We do not sell this information or use it for advertising. The confirmation message goes out through the same mail sender we use for other site mail.

The form is rate-limited. That limit uses a short-lived counter of the same kind of IP-prefix HMAC. It is not written into the signup record. The form also has a hidden field meant for automated signups. If that field is filled in, we do not save an address and we do not send mail.

You can unsubscribe from the link in each message. That deletes the address, the consent time, and the hashed IP. If you unsubscribe before you confirm, we keep a hash of that confirmation link until the link expires so it cannot add you later. That hash is not your email address or your IP address, and we delete it when the link expires.

To ask us to delete a signup, write to hello@howtomakemoneyonsnapchat.com. We do not keep a copy after we delete it.

Paid plans

Paid plans and credit packs are sold through Stripe Managed Payments, and Link, a Stripe company, is the seller of record. At checkout, Link and Stripe collect your card details, billing address, and email. They use this information to take payment, charge sales tax, prevent fraud, and send receipts. For that information they are independent controllers, acting under Link's privacy policy and Stripe's privacy policy, which are shown at checkout. We do not control how they use it. We never see or store your full card number.

From Stripe we receive your email, your customer and subscription IDs, your plan and its status, your country and postal code (for tax), and possibly your card brand and the last four digits of the card. We link this to your API key's ID. We use it to apply your plan, run the free trial and renewals, answer billing questions, and meet tax and accounting obligations. We do not sell it or use it for advertising. We keep billing records for 7 years and then delete them, even if you ask us to delete your data sooner. Requests about data that Link or Stripe hold go to them under their own policies.

Eligibility Watch

Eligibility Watch is part of the paid plans and the free trial. You save your Snapchat numbers, usually once a week. We show your trend, a projected date to reach each of Snap's published thresholds, which threshold is holding you back, and what a published Snap rule change means for your saved numbers. You type the numbers in, or an AI assistant you use sends them for you. We never log in to Snapchat, look up an account, or collect numbers from Snapchat.

What we store. For each Watch profile: the date your numbers are from, and the followers, 28-day view-time hours and 28-day Spotlight view-time hours you choose to save. We also store when you saved them and whether you used the website, the API or an AI assistant. If you give them, we store your country (a two-letter code), whether you are a Snap Star, and whether you are already in the Monetization Program. On Pro, we store a nickname for each profile if you add one. We store the rule-change alerts we make for you. On Pro, if you set up a webhook, we store its web address, an encrypted signing secret, and a short delivery log. To run Watch we also keep a few technical records: a short-lived website session token (stored only as a hash), a daily count of saves, the date your plan ended, and, if you replace your key, which old key ID was replaced by which new one. All of this is linked to your API key's ID, which is linked to your paid plan (see "Paid plans" above).

What we never store. Your Snapchat username, password or profile link; posting frequency or posting days; your age or birthdate, or your answer to the age question; screenshots; or your content or messages. Use a nickname, not a Snapchat username, for a profile. If you share a screenshot with an AI assistant, the assistant reads the numbers and we receive only the numbers.

How we use it. Only to run your Watch: trends, projected dates, the threshold holding you back, and rule-change alerts. Projections are math on the numbers you saved, not predictions. We do not use your saved numbers for benchmarks or statistics about other creators, to train AI models, or for advertising, and we do not sell them.

Who can see it. Your saved numbers are tied to your API key and are not shown to other users. A request for someone else's Watch profile gets the same "not found" answer as one that doesn't exist. NetNet Partners LLC and our service providers can access the data to operate the service. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, stores it. If you set up a webhook, the notices go to the address you chose.

Alerts. When we publish a change to Snap's rules, Watch shows what it means for your saved numbers on the website and through the API and the AI-assistant connection. On Pro, if you set up a webhook, we send a signed notice to the address you gave us. The notice says which rule changed and does not include your numbers or nicknames. We do not send Watch emails.

AI assistants. If you use Watch through an AI assistant, your conversation is handled by that assistant's provider under its own privacy policy. We receive only what the assistant sends in a tool call. Through an assistant you can save numbers and read your Watch status. Saving the same date again can change or clear a number you saved for that date. An assistant cannot export or delete your data, delete a check-in or profile, or change your settings.

Where it is kept and how it is protected. In our database at Cloudflare. On the website you paste your API key once per visit; we then use a session token that expires after 15 minutes and is not stored in your browser. We do not set cookies on the Watch page. Webhook secrets are stored encrypted.

How long we keep it.

Your choices. You can export your Watch data (JSON or CSV), correct a number by saving the same date again (a number you include replaces the saved one, a number you leave out stays, and a cleared number is removed), or delete one check-in, one profile, or all of your Watch data, on the Watch page or through the API.

Lost or exposed API key. If you still have your key, you can replace it on the Watch page or through the API. If you lost it, email hello@howtomakemoneyonsnapchat.com and tell us the email you used at checkout. We will send a one-time replacement link to that checkout email. The link works once and expires after 24 hours. Your plan and your Watch data move to the new key, and the old key stops working at once. You can also ask us, from the checkout email, to delete your Watch data instead. Never send us your API key.

Saving numbers for someone else. On Pro you can watch more than one creator. Save another creator's numbers only with their permission. Eligibility Watch is for adults: do not save numbers for anyone under 18 or under the age of majority where they live. If we learn that Watch data belongs to someone under that age, we will delete it.
