Encrypted
Records are protected in transit and at rest.
Privacy & Security
Privacy-first. Security by design.
Snapped is built with a security-first approach. Tool records are protected with strong encryption, access controls limit who can view data, and lookups are designed to verify status without exposing identity.
Private
Ownership details stay hidden from public lookups.
Controlled
Access is restricted to authorised users only.
Our approach
Public searches are designed to verify tool status, not expose the person behind it. Buyers can check whether a tool is registered or reported stolen, while owners keep their identity, email address, and contact details private.
Owners remain in control of their records. If a tool is recovered, sold, or needs its status updated, changes can be made so the information stays accurate and useful over time.
Key privacy principles
Snapped is designed to verify tools without exposing personal ownership information. These principles guide how data is handled across the platform.
Private by default
Owner names, email addresses, and contact details are not exposed to people using the platform to verify a tool.
Verification without exposure
Serial number lookups confirm whether a tool is registered or flagged without revealing ownership details.
Secure data handling
Registration records are stored with restricted access and protected infrastructure to reduce misuse.
How we keep your data safe
01
Encrypted storage

02
Passwordless access
Passwordless sign-in helps reduce credential-related risk and limits common attack paths.
03
Restricted access
Internal access to user data is strictly limited and handled with clear access controls.
04
Ongoing protection
Regular security updates and continued protection measures help keep the platform resilient.
Common questions
What appears in a public lookup?
Only the information needed to confirm whether a tool is registered or has been reported stolen.
Can someone see who owns a registered item?
No. Ownership identity and contact details stay private.
Can records be updated later?
Yes. Owners can update status information when an item is recovered, sold, or changed.
