Welcome to Image & Video Compressor ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a safe and positive experience while using our mobile application (the "Application"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Application.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By installing and using Image & Video Compressor, you consent to the data practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use the Application.

2. Information We Collect

We prioritize user privacy and strive to minimize data collection. The information collected falls into the following categories:

A. On-Device Media and Storage Data

Our Application provides core functionality related to image and video editing, compression, background removal, resizing, format conversion, screenshot cleaning, and frame extraction. To perform these functions, the Application requires access to your device's media gallery and file storage:

- Photos, Videos, and Media Files: The Application accesses only the specific photos and videos you select for compression, editing, cropping, or converting. All processing is executed locally on your device. We do not transfer, store, or host your personal photos or videos on external servers.

- Storage Permissions: Read and write permissions are required solely to load selected media files and save processed outputs back to your device storage.

B. Automatically Collected Technical Data

When you use the Application, certain non-personal information may be automatically collected by integrated third-party service providers for performance and analytical purposes:

- Device Information: Device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers (e.g., Android Advertising ID), system language, and mobile network information.

- Usage Data: Application launch times, feature usage frequency, crash logs, and performance metrics.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following specific purposes:

- To provide, operate, and maintain the core features of the Application (e.g., compressing images/videos, removing backgrounds, editing, converting formats, cleaning screenshots).

- To improve, optimize, and personalize Application performance and user experience.

- To diagnose technical bugs, fix crashes, and maintain stability.

- To serve personalized or non-personalized advertisements via third-party ad networks.

- To comply with applicable legal obligations and enforce our terms.

4. Third-Party Services and SDKs

Our Application integrates trusted third-party Software Development Kits (SDKs) to facilitate analytics, ad monetization, and app functionality. These third parties may collect information sent by your device under their respective privacy policies:

- Google Play Services (Core Android infrastructure & app features)

- Google AdMob (In-app advertising delivery)

- Google Analytics for Firebase (App usage analytics and engagement metrics)

- Firebase Crashlytics (Crash reporting and stability diagnosis)

5. Data Storage and Security

We implement stringent technical and organizational security measures to protect your information:

- Local On-Device Processing: All image and video compression, background removal, cropping, and conversion processes occur strictly on your local device. Your files are never uploaded to external servers or cloud storage controlled by us.

- Data Protection: We do not sell, trade, rent, or lease your personal media or identifiable information to any third parties.

6. Permissions Requested by the Application

To provide full functionality, the Application may request the following device permissions:

- READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE / READ_MEDIA_IMAGES / READ_MEDIA_VIDEO: To allow you to select media files for compression, editing, and processing.

- WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: To allow the Application to save edited or compressed files back to your device storage.

- INTERNET & ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Required for loading advertisements and sending anonymous crash and analytics reports.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Application is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can take appropriate steps to delete such data.

8. User Rights and Data Control

Depending on your jurisdiction (such as GDPR in the EU or CCPA in California), you have rights regarding your personal information:

- Opt-Out of Personalized Advertising: You can reset your Advertising ID or opt out of interest-based ads via your Android device settings (Settings > Google > Ads).

- Permission Control: You can grant or revoke storage permissions at any time through your Android OS Application Settings.

- Data Deletion: Since we do not retain your media files on external servers, you have full direct control over deleting or retaining processed files on your device.

We will notify you of changes by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this policy and posting the updated policy within the Application or on our store listing page.
