Privacy at SawIt
Conversations, addresses, bookings, documents and personal moments can all appear in a screenshot. SawIt treats privacy as part of the product — not a settings-page afterthought.
Before launch, SawIt will publish clear details about screenshot access, processing, storage, retention and deletion. No vague "trust us" language.
01 — The sensitivity
The same tap captures a meme and a medical appointment. Fictional examples — values redacted:
02 — Access
SawIt should clearly explain which photos or screenshots it can access and how that permission can be changed.
Your photo library
Photos stay outside.
Outlined screenshots may cross — with permission.
SawIt
You decide what crosses this line, and you can change it at any time in system settings.
Access should be visible and understandable.
SawIt should clearly explain which photos or screenshots it can access and how that permission can be changed.
Screenshot-access behavior will be documented before early access begins.
03 — Processing
A transparent transformation — no mysterious clouds, no black boxes.

Know what SawIt learns from a screenshot.
SawIt may derive searchable information such as visible text, objects, places or context. The final product must explain where this processing occurs and what is retained.
Where analysis runs — on device or on SawIt's service — is still being finalized and will be stated plainly before launch.
04 — Storage & sync
Your device
Original screenshots stay in your photo library. SawIt's memory records live here.
Confirmed intentSawIt service
Whether any derived data is processed or stored off-device is not yet decided.
Under evaluationOptional sync
Cross-device sync is planned for SawIt Plus. Its architecture will be documented with it.
PlannedStorage and synchronization architecture is still being finalized. Confirmed details will be published before launch.
05 — Control & deletion
People should be able to understand and manage SawIt's access and retained information without searching through obscure settings.
Status labels shown deliberately — unconfirmed controls are never presented as available today.
Control should be easy to find.
Confirmed controls ship at launch. Planned and under-evaluation items are labelled, not promised.
When you delete a memory
Delete memory
One request, clearly scoped results.
Original screenshot
Stays in your photo library unless you delete it there — SawIt's deletion never silently touches your photos.
Confirmed intentSawIt memory record
Removed from your library view
Extracted text & labels
Removal scope to be documented
Synced copy (if sync exists)
Handling to be documented
Deletion should have a clear meaning.
Before launch, SawIt must document what is removed when a memory is deleted, whether the original screenshot is affected, and how synchronized or backed-up data is handled.
No deletion timeline is stated until it is confirmed.
06 — This website
Everything above describes how SawIt intends to handle screenshots in an app that does not exist yet. This section is different: it is the current, factual privacy notice for this website.
This website is a marketing and early-access page. It handles one piece of personal information: an email address, if you choose to give us one. That is what this notice covers.
The SawIt application is in development. SawIt is being designed around privacy-first processing. Final implementation details will be published before the app becomes available, in a separate app privacy policy. Nothing in this notice should be read as a description of how the finished app will work.
When you submit the early-access form, we receive the email address you type and the time of submission. Nothing else. There are no additional fields, and we do not ask for your name, phone number or location.
Nothing is added to the list until you confirm it. Submitting the form sends you a confirmation email; if you don't click the link in it, the address is never subscribed. This is double opt-in, and it means an address can't be added by someone else.
Once confirmed, we use that address for two things: occasional launch updates, and an invitation when testing opens. We do not sell it, rent it, or share it for anyone else's marketing. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can ask us to remove the address at any time — see below.
Submissions are handled by a third-party form service, which stores the address on our behalf and notifies us at hello@sawit.in. The provider is named here once the form goes live.
The form includes a hidden anti-spam field that a human visitor never sees or fills in. Nothing typed into the visible field is used for any purpose other than the ones above.
This website sets no cookies and runs no analytics, tracking pixels, advertising tags or session recording. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to. If we ever add privacy-friendly analytics, this section will say so, name the provider, and describe what it measures — before it is switched on.
Two normal pieces of web infrastructure see technical information when you load a page, as they do on any website:
We do not combine this technical information with your email address, and we do not use it to identify you.
We keep it until SawIt launches and the invitation has been sent, or until you ask us to remove it — whichever comes first. If the project is discontinued, the list is deleted.
Write to hello@sawit.in and you can ask us to tell you whether your address is on the list, correct it, or delete it. We will action deletion requests and confirm when it is done. You do not need to give a reason, and you do not need an account — there are no accounts.
Every launch update we send will include an unsubscribe link.
This website is not directed at children, and the early-access list is not intended for anyone under 16. If you believe a child has submitted an address, write to us and we will remove it.
Privacy enquiries: hello@sawit.in. A real person reads that mailbox.
Effective 18 August 2026. This notice describes the website as it stands on that date. We will update it when something material changes — when the form provider is confirmed, if analytics are ever added, and when the SawIt application ships with its own policy. The effective date above always shows the current version, and we will not quietly broaden what we collect without saying so here first.

07 — The commitment
SawIt will document what it accesses, what it derives, where information is processed, how long it is retained and how it can be removed.
