Overview
At Snap, we strive to be kind, smart, and creative, and we expect the same from developers.
We want Snapchatters to have fun and to be safe while using our developer integrations. Developers must be honest about the products, services, and content they promote and they must never compromise our users' privacy or safety.
Developers must comply with Snap's Terms of Service, Community Guidelines, and all other Snap policies governing the use of our tools. We may update our terms, policies, and guidelines from time to time, so please check in and review them regularly. We expect partners to be creative in their use of integrations, so the products you build cannot be duplicative of or confusingly similar to features or functionality across Snap products, or attempt to replicate a Snapchat user’s friend graph.
Developers are responsible for ensuring that their integrations are suitable for their intended audience, including age and local laws and regulations in each geographic area where the integration will be available.
All integrations are subject to our review and approval, and our review process takes into account the safety and privacy approaches of each applicant. We reserve the right to reject or remove any integration that violates the spirit of these Guidelines or at our sole discretion for any reason. Snap may additionally suspend or terminate accounts tied to businesses or individuals who violate our Developer Policies.
The goal of these guidelines is to provide clarity on how we review developer integrations and to make the process as clear as possible. Please keep in mind that these guidelines will evolve in order to keep our community safe. Ultimately, we created our developer tools to promote creativity and innovation and we hope these tools help enable new products we'd never dreamt of before. Any exceptions to the guidelines outlined below must be approved in writing by Snap.
