Difference between the Snapchat and Instagram Privacy Policy
Now, since the key features and tools of these most common and trending apps of the period have been properly covered above, we can now switch to the legal requirements related to the same, which are both the Applications’ privacy policies, which are as follows:
BASIS | SNAPCHAT | |
Information collected by them | 1. Usage Information
2. Content Information- Content that is provided by the users of the app. 3.

Sharing of the Information |
|
Generally, Instagram also shares its data generated by us and the user content with almost the same parties as Snapchat. |
Children’s Privacy | Snapchat’s programs are not meant to be used by children under 13 years of age. | As per Instagram’s Privacy Policy, services are not meant to be used by children under the age of 13. |
We can refer to the Privacy Policy from the above article and can make a direct distinction between the two. We need to remember that these policies are made with all users around the world in mind and not according to any applicable law of any specific country. In India, this trend is a little recent, and there are several changes and improvements that need to be made as the law is ancient in this regard. The Information Technology Acts and Regulations vary from each other. For iOS and Android users, these policies vary as well.
