SnibGuide measures drives you choose and keeps the readings for you. Doing that means knowing where those drives start and end, which is usually someone’s home and workplace. This page says exactly what is held, who else sees it, and how to get it back.
Last updated 20 August 2026
What is collected
- Your email address, because signing in works by emailing you a code. There is no password.
- The routes you add — the labels you give them, the addresses or coordinates of each end, and the shape of the road between them.
- Travel time readings — how long each drive took, each time it was measured, along with the date and time of the measurement.
- A mobile number, only if you turn on text alerts. Leave that off and none is asked for.
- Subscription status. Card details are handled by Stripe and never reach SnibGuide.
What is not collected
There is no analytics, no advertising, no tracking pixels and no third-party scripts on any page. Your location is never read from your device or browser — the only places SnibGuide knows about are the ones you typed in yourself. Nothing here is sold, and nothing is shared for anyone else’s marketing.
Route addresses are treated as sensitive
The two ends of a commute say a great deal about a person, so they are handled with that in mind:
- Every page showing a route requires you to be signed in as its owner. There is no public view of a route, with or without a link.
- A route link pasted into a chat reveals nothing. Anyone following it — including the service that renders the preview — sees a sign-in page, so the preview names the app and never the route.
- Every query for a route requires the owner’s identity. Someone else’s route answers “not found” rather than “not allowed”, so a response cannot even confirm it exists.
Who else sees it
These services process data on SnibGuide’s behalf, each for one job:
| Service | What it does |
|---|---|
| Supabase | Stores your account, routes and readings |
| Vercel | Runs and serves the site |
| Google Maps Platform | Measures each drive and draws route maps |
| Stripe | Takes payment and stores card details |
| Resend | Sends sign-in codes and alert emails |
| Twilio | Sends alert text messages, if you enable them |
All are based in the United States, so data is processed there. Each drive is measured by sending its two endpoints to Google Maps Platform; that request is what makes the product possible and cannot be avoided while a route is active.
Cookies
One cookie, which keeps you signed in. It is not used to track you and there are no others — no analytics cookies, no advertising cookies, nothing shared with another site. Signing out removes it.
How long it is kept
Readings are kept for as long as the route exists, because their whole value is being able to compare this Tuesday with the last twenty. Deleting a route deletes every reading it collected, immediately and permanently — those measurements cannot be taken again, so the deletion asks you to confirm first. Deleting your account removes your routes, their readings and your alerts.
What you can do
- Export. Every reading for a route downloads as CSV from the route’s own page.
- Delete. Any route, with its full history, from the routes page.
- Get a copy, or have everything erased. Email privacy@snib.guide and it will be done.
