Snapchat deletes chats by default within 24 hours and explicitly won't use your private messages for ads — two genuine privacy commitments. But it still builds a detailed advertising profile from your content, device, and activity, enriches it with data from advertisers, and can collect precise location and contacts if you grant permission.

Consumer users can opt in to having conversations used for model training with data retained up to 5 years. API and commercial customers are unaffected: their data is never used for training. With training off, 30-day retention for safety then deleted. No advertising business; data never sold. Dedicated Privacy Center at privacy.claude.com.
