Privacy policy: Shrink (working name): Photo & Video Size

Status: this app is in development and has not been released yet. This policy describes what the app is designed to do, as written in its specification; it will be reviewed again before release.

In short

The app makes photos and videos smaller, converts their format and can remove location and personal details. Everything happens on your phone. Nothing is uploaded. It has no account, no advertising, no analytics and no crash reporting.

What is stored on your phone

• Settings only, in a local database: for example your last preset, custom preset values, your choice about metadata, the file-name policy, language and theme.
• There is no database of your files and no history of processed files. Your original file is never modified. Each result is a new copy kept in the app's temporary work folder, which is cleared when you are done and each time the app starts.

Permissions

• iPhone: add-only access to Photos, asked the first time you save a result. Picking files needs no permission. The app does not use camera, microphone or location.
• Android: no media-reading permission and no internet permission in the release build. Media location access is requested only if you choose to keep everything, including location data, in a result; it is explained once and not asked again after you decline. A foreground service for media processing is declared so that long conversions can finish. The app does not ask for notifications.

Backup and export

There is nothing to back up: the app holds no data of yours beyond a few settings. Results leave the app only when you share or save them.

What the app does not do

No uploads, no advertising, no analytics, no crash reporting, no accounts, no tracking. Planned store privacy labels: App Store "Data Not Collected"; Google Play "No data collected".
