Privacy Policy for Video Compressor - reduce

Last Updated: 2 September 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Video Compressor – Reduce (“the App”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) handles information when you use our iOS application.

The App performs video compression locally on your device. It does not require an account and does not ask you to provide your name, email address, phone number, physical address, or payment-card information.

The App uses limited third-party services for in-app purchases, subscription management, and cross-promotion advertising. These services are described below.

1. Information We Process

a. Videos and User Content

Videos selected for compression are processed locally on your device.

We do not upload your videos, compressed videos, thumbnails, filenames, or video contents to our servers or to RevenueCat or Kickstart Exchange.

The App may temporarily copy a selected video into its private local storage while performing a compression task. Temporary files are deleted after processing or during automatic cleanup.

Compressed videos and compression history remain on your device until you delete them or uninstall the App.

b. Local App Data

The App stores certain information locally on your device, including:

• App appearance and onboarding preferences

• The number of free compressions completed during the current day

• Compression history and technical details about completed compressions

• Locally saved compressed video files

• Subscription and entitlement information cached by the purchase SDK

This local information is used only to provide App functionality. It is not uploaded by us as video content or used to track you across apps or websites.

c. Purchase and Subscription Information

The App uses RevenueCat to manage in-app purchases, subscriptions, purchase restoration, and access to Pro features.

RevenueCat may process information necessary to provide these services, including:

• Purchase and subscription history

• Apple transaction or receipt information

• Subscription status and entitlement information

• An anonymous RevenueCat-generated App User ID

• App version, device type, operating system, locale, and currency information

• The last time the App communicated with RevenueCat

We do not provide RevenueCat with your name, email address, phone number, advertising identifier, or a custom account identifier.

RevenueCat uses purchase information for App functionality, fraud prevention, entitlement verification, subscription analytics, and aggregated reporting. RevenueCat does not inherently use this information to track you across other companies’ apps or websites for advertising.

Payments are processed by Apple. We do not receive or store your payment-card number, bank-account details, or Apple Account password.

d. Advertising and Product Interaction Data

Free users may see cross-promotion advertisements for other apps through Kickstart Exchange. Pro users do not see these advertisements.

Kickstart Exchange may process limited app-level information necessary to request, display, protect, and measure these advertisements, including:

• The App’s bundle identifier

• App version and build version

• Platform and Kickstart SDK version

• The App Store storefront country

• App-level advertisement impressions and clicks

• Advertisement reports submitted through the advertisement’s report button

Kickstart Exchange records advertisement impressions and clicks at the app level. These interactions are not associated with a specific person or device.

In production builds, Kickstart Exchange may receive a locally verified, Apple-signed App Transaction to confirm that the request comes from the registered production App. Kickstart Exchange processes this transaction only long enough to perform that verification and states that it immediately discards it without retaining, hashing, logging, correlating, targeting with, or analyzing its stable transaction or device-verification values.

Kickstart Exchange does not use an advertising identifier, track users or devices across apps or websites, or create behavioral advertising profiles.

Network requests to Kickstart Exchange pass through Cloudflare, which processes the connecting IP address as part of delivering and securing network traffic. Kickstart Exchange states that it does not store IP addresses or use them to identify users.

2. Device Permissions

The App may request the following permissions strictly to provide its features.

Photos Access

Photos access is used only to:

• Allow you to select videos for compression

• Save compressed videos to your Photos library when you request it

The App does not access photos or videos without your action. Selected videos are processed locally and are not uploaded to our servers or third-party advertising and subscription services.

You can manage Photos permissions at any time in your device’s Settings app.

Notifications

Notifications are optional and are used to tell you when a video compression task has completed.

The App uses local notifications for this purpose. Notification content is generated on your device.

You can disable notifications at any time in your device’s Settings app.

Live Activities and Widgets

The App may display compression progress through a Live Activity on the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island.

Compression progress displayed through these features is generated and handled locally on your device. Video contents are not transmitted through Live Activities or widgets.

3. How We Use Information

The limited information described in this policy is used to:

• Compress videos and save the results you request

• Maintain local compression history

• Enforce the daily free-compression allowance

• Process and restore purchases

• Determine whether Pro features should be available

• Display cross-promotion advertisements to free users

• Measure app-level advertisement impressions and clicks

• Prevent fraud and protect the App and its services

• Provide aggregated purchase, subscription, and advertising analytics

• Respond to support requests

We do not use your videos for advertising, analytics, artificial intelligence training, or profiling.

4. Tracking and Sale of Information

The App does not use Apple’s advertising identifier, does not request App Tracking Transparency permission, and does not track you across apps or websites owned by other companies.

We do not sell your personal information.

Kickstart Exchange advertisements are not behaviorally targeted to an identified user or device.

5. Data Sharing

We share limited information only with service providers needed to operate the App:

• Apple, for App Store purchases, StoreKit transactions, Photos access, notifications, and other iOS platform services

• RevenueCat, for purchase processing, subscription management, entitlement verification, fraud prevention, and subscription analytics

• Kickstart Exchange, for cross-promotion advertisements, app-level advertisement measurement, and production-app verification

• Cloudflare, as Kickstart Exchange’s network, security, and content-delivery provider

These providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies.

Apple’s privacy policy is available at:

6. Data Retention

Videos, compressed files, daily usage counts, preferences, and compression history stored by the App remain on your device until they are deleted through the App, removed by automatic local cleanup, or deleted when you uninstall the App.

RevenueCat retains purchase and subscription information according to its agreements, legal obligations, and retention policies.

Kickstart Exchange states that app-level advertisement delivery and interaction records are generally retained for approximately 30 days. Aggregated daily app-to-app statistics may be retained without a fixed deletion date. These records do not identify individual users or devices.

7. External Links and the App Store

The App may open external pages, including our privacy policy, terms, support email, App Store review page, advertised App Store product pages, and Apple’s subscription-management interface.

Once you leave the App, the privacy practices of the destination service apply. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party websites or other apps.

8. Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed specifically at children under 13.

We do not knowingly request or collect names, email addresses, contact details, precise locations, advertising identifiers, or video contents from children.

The limited purchase and advertisement data described in this policy may be processed when the App is used, regardless of the user’s age. If you believe a child has provided personal information directly to us, please contact us so that we can review and address the request.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information handled through the App.

Video processing and compression history are kept locally on the device. Communications with RevenueCat, Kickstart Exchange, Apple, and their service providers use secure network connections provided by those services.

No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

10. Your Choices and Rights

You can:

• Decline or revoke Photos access through iOS Settings

• Decline or disable notifications through iOS Settings

• Delete individual compression-history entries or locally stored compressed files

• Remove locally stored App data by deleting the App

• Upgrade to Pro to remove cross-promotion advertisements

• Manage or cancel a monthly subscription through Apple’s subscription-management interface

• Contact us regarding privacy questions or applicable data-access, correction, or deletion requests

Depending on your location, you may have additional privacy rights under applicable law.

11. International Processing

RevenueCat, Kickstart Exchange, Apple, Cloudflare, and their service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live.

Where required, these providers are responsible for using appropriate safeguards for international data transfers under applicable law.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the App’s features, third-party services, or legal requirements change.

The updated policy will be posted at the same location with a revised “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
