Privacy Policy for Photo Compressor
Effective date: August 11, 2026
Photo Compressor (package name: com.merahputih.photocompressor) is developed and provided by Merah Putih Corp. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the application.
1. Photos and Image Processing
Photo Compressor accesses only the photos that you choose through the Android system photo picker. Selected photos are processed locally on your device for compression, resizing, cropping, format conversion, and preparation for forms or social media.
Your photos are not uploaded to Merah Putih Corp servers. Merah Putih Corp does not receive, view, store, or recover your selected photos or processed results.
2. Information We Collect
Photo Compressor does not require an account or sign-in and does not collect personal information through a developer-operated server.
The application does not include advertising or analytics SDKs. Merah Putih Corp does not sell personal information or use your photos for advertising, profiling, or artificial intelligence training.
3. Information Stored on Your Device
The following preferences may be stored locally on your device:
• Selected language
• Light, dark, or device theme preference
• Default image quality and output format
• Metadata removal preference
Processed photos that you choose to save remain in your device gallery. Temporary files used during processing or sharing may be stored in the application's temporary storage and can be removed automatically by Android.
4. Metadata and Location Information
Photos may contain metadata such as camera details, capture time, or location information. Photo Compressor provides an option to remove metadata from generated images. This option is enabled by default.
If you disable metadata removal, supported metadata from the original photo may remain in the generated file.
5. Permissions and Device Access
Photo Compressor may use the following device capabilities:
• Photo picker: Lets you select specific photos for processing.
• Storage access on older Android versions: Saves processed images to your gallery. This permission is limited to older versions of Android.
• Share sheet: Sends a processed image to an application that you select.
The application does not scan your full photo library in the background and does not automatically delete or overwrite original photos.
6. Sharing Images
Sharing occurs only when you tap the Share button and select another application. The selected third-party application handles the shared image according to its own privacy policy. Merah Putih Corp does not control how that third-party application processes information.
7. Google Play Services and Updates
Photo Compressor uses Google Play's in-app update functionality to check whether a newer version is available. Google Play may process limited technical information required to provide this service, such as the application package, installed version, and update availability. Merah Putih Corp does not receive your photos through this process.
Google handles information in accordance with the Google Privacy Policy:

8. Data Retention and Deletion
Merah Putih Corp does not retain copies of your photos because they are not uploaded to us.
You can delete processed images from your device gallery at any time. Uninstalling Photo Compressor removes application preferences and temporary application data managed by Android. Images that you previously saved to the gallery may remain until you delete them.
9. Children's Privacy
Photo Compressor is a general-purpose utility and is not specifically directed to children under 13. The application does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
10. Security
Local processing reduces the need to transmit photos over the internet. However, no device or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are responsible for securing access to your device and reviewing the privacy practices of applications with which you choose to share images.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated when application features, legal requirements, or data practices change. The updated policy will be published on this page with a revised effective date.
