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.
