Where BoardSnap stores your data.
Short answer
BoardSnap stores your boards, summaries, pinned context, and action item lists in Supabase, a managed Postgres database with row-level security. Each user account has its own isolated data row. Camera capture and perspective correction run entirely on-device via Apple VisionKit and never leave your iPhone.
## The data journey, step by step
Step 1, On-device capture. When you point your iPhone at a whiteboard, Apple VisionKit detects the board, corrects the perspective, and produces a clean image, all on the Neural Engine inside your phone. Nothing is transmitted at this step.
Step 2, AI analysis. BoardSnap sends the processed image to BoardSnap's AI to generate the summary and action items. This transmission happens over HTTPS. BoardSnap's AI processes your input under a commercial data processing agreement; it does not retain your data for model training.
Step 3, Persistent storage. The resulting summary, action items, subtasks, and board metadata are written to your account's Supabase row. Supabase is a managed Postgres platform hosted on AWS infrastructure. Row-level security ensures your data is logically isolated, no other user's queries can touch your rows.
Step 4, On your device. BoardSnap caches recent boards and summaries locally on your iPhone for fast access and offline reading.
## What Supabase means for your data
Supabase is not a niche unknown. It's one of the most widely deployed managed Postgres platforms, used by thousands of production apps. Its row-level security model means access control is enforced at the database engine level, not just at the application layer.
## Where brand context is stored
When you paste a website URL for brand-aware AI, BoardSnap fetches that URL, extracts brand voice signals, and stores the result in your project inside your Supabase row. It is not shared with other projects or users.
## What about offline captures?
Boards captured while offline are queued on your iPhone's local storage. They remain there until a connection is available, then flush to the cloud pipeline described above.
## Deleting your data
You can request full account deletion, including all boards, summaries, action items, and brand context, by emailing hi@boardsnap.ai. The full policy is at boardsnap.ai/privacy.
