Privacy and Cookies
Your privacy matters to us. When you visit Snapplanets.app, we may collect certain technical information automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit, and the time you spend on those pages. This information helps us understand how the site is used and how we can improve it.
Like most websites, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies. Some of these are essential for the site to function correctly. Others help us analyse traffic patterns. Third-party services such as advertising networks and analytics platforms may also place cookies when their content appears on this site.
Essential Cookies
These are required for core site functions and cannot be disabled. They do not track your activity for marketing purposes.
Analytics Cookies
We may use tools like Google Analytics to understand site traffic. These collect anonymised data about how visitors use the site.
Advertising Cookies
Third-party ad networks may place cookies to serve relevant advertisements. Their data practices are governed by their own privacy policies.
You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where applicable, through consent controls on the site. Disabling certain cookies may affect how the site works.

Changes to These Terms
We reserve the right to update or revise these Terms and Conditions at any time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. In some cases we may also notify users more prominently, such as through a notice on the home page, depending on the significance of the change.
Your continued use of Snapplanets.app after any changes take effect means that you accept the updated terms. If the updated terms are not acceptable to you, please stop using the site.
We try to make changes thoughtfully and only when necessary, such as when the site introduces new features, when laws change, or when we need to clarify something that has been causing confusion. We do not make changes designed to obscure your rights or to catch users by surprise.
How to stay informed. We recommend bookmarking this page and revisiting it periodically, particularly if you use the site frequently. You can also check the "Last updated" date at the top to see whether anything has changed since your last visit.
Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms and Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. Any disputes arising out of or relating to these terms or your use of the site will first be addressed through good-faith negotiation. We prefer to resolve issues informally where possible, and we encourage you to contact us directly before pursuing any formal action.
If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in the location where we operate. Because this site is accessible globally, users in different countries may have different rights under local consumer protection laws. Nothing in these terms is intended to override rights you hold under your local law that cannot be contractually waived.
Informal Resolution First
Before taking any formal action, please contact us. The vast majority of issues can be resolved quickly through a simple email exchange.
Severability
If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest of the terms remain in full force and effect without the invalid provision.
Entire Agreement
These terms, along with our Privacy Policy, constitute the complete agreement between you and us regarding your use of this site.
No Waiver
If we do not enforce a particular part of these terms at any given time, that does not mean we have waived the right to enforce it in the future.
Common Questions About These Terms
Yes. Accessing any page on this site constitutes use of the site and means you agree to these terms. That said, the terms are written to be fair and reasonable. As a reader who is simply consuming content, the main things that apply to you are the intellectual property section (please do not copy our articles) and the disclaimer section (we cannot guarantee every detail is perfectly current). The stricter parts of the acceptable use section are really aimed at people who would misuse the site technically or legally.
Absolutely, and we appreciate it. Sharing a link to one of our pages on social media, in a group chat, on a forum, or anywhere else is encouraged and does not require any permission from us. Sharing a link is different from copying the content itself. What we ask you not to do is paste the entire text of one of our articles into another website, document, or platform and present it as your own work or without our permission.
Brief quotation with attribution and a link back to the source is generally fine and falls within normal fair use practices. What is not permitted is copying entire articles, reproducing large sections of our content on your site, or using our content in a way that substitutes for visiting the original page. If you are unsure whether what you have in mind is acceptable, send us a quick email at contact@snapplanets.app and we will let you know. We try to respond to these kinds of questions within a day or two.
Snapchat updates its app frequently, and new features, redesigns, or changes to existing features can happen at any time without prior public announcement. We maintain our content as diligently as we can, but there is always a lag between when Snap Inc. makes a change and when we can update our guides to reflect it. If you notice something on the site that no longer matches what you see in the app, please let us know at contact@snapplanets.app and we will prioritise updating it. We genuinely value this kind of feedback from readers.
No. Snapplanets.app is an independent website run by fans and enthusiasts of the Snapchat Planets feature. We have no formal relationship with Snap Inc., and Snap Inc. has not endorsed, sponsored, or approved this site or its content. Any references to Snapchat, Snap, or related product names are used descriptively so that readers can understand what we are talking about, not to imply any affiliation. If you need official support for your Snapchat account, please visit Snap Inc.'s official support site directly.
