Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 09.03.2026

At The Snippet, we are committed to protecting the privacy of our student community. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share your personal information when you use our platform.

We may disclose your personal information (including the identity behind a Lowkey Profile) only under the following circumstances:

Legal Requirement: If required by law, court order, or government request (e.g., under IT Rules, 2021).
