YOU might want to think twice about what you send over Snapchat with the social networking app making a drastic change to its privacy policy.

Snapchat released a new privacy policy with its most recent update that states the app now has the rights to reproduce, modify and republish your content.

“You grant Snapchat a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, use, display, reproduce, modify, adapt, edit, publish, create derivative works from, publicly perform, broadcast, distribute, syndicate, promote, exhibit, and publicly display that content in any form and in any and all media or distribution methods (now known or later developed),” the updated terms and conditions read.

“You also grant Snapchat and our business partners the unrestricted, worldwide, perpetual right and license to use your name, likeness, and voice in any and all media and distribution channels (now known or later developed) in connection with any Live Story or other crowdsourced content you create, upload, post, send, or appear in.”

Snapchat, created in 2011, has always been attractive to its users as it would “delete” photo and video messages after they had been viewed once.

Following the new policy Snapchat has released a blog clearing up the policy, and while not explicitly stated, it has assured “the Snaps and Chats you send your friends remain as private today as they were before the update”.

Acccording to the company, the policy has more to do with the Live Story feature.

Regadless, since the changes came into place, many have taken to Twitter to express outrage or to warn others.

Harold and Kumar star Kal Penn was one of the first to lament the change on Twitter, describing it as “scary stuff”.

Snapchat: "Hey we're gonna invade your privacy and not delete your snaps from our servers and take phone info but hey look at these filters" — Pookie (@ThotPuncher) November 1, 2015

Thanks for the update, @Snapchat. I'm deleting your app now, along with my account. Your privacy policy is a joke. #WayToRuinAGoodThing — Pete (@peteywalk) October 28, 2015

While many are upset at the changes, it does not differ much from other social media sites.

Facebook’s policy grants the company rights to a royalty-free, worldwide license to user’s content published under the “Public Setting”, while Instagram also grant the company a royalty-free license to use content posted through the social network.

However, those apps never sold themselves as having disappearing content.
