Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 12, 2026
ShrinkPix is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our iOS application.
Our Privacy Commitment
ShrinkPix processes all images locally on your device. Your photos NEVER leave your iPhone or iPad. We have zero access to your images.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information We DO NOT Collect
- Your Photos: All image processing happens 100% locally on your device. We never upload, transmit, or store your photos on our servers.
- Personal Information: We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any personally identifiable information.
- Usage Analytics: We do not track how you use the app, which features you access, or how often you use ShrinkPix.
- Device Information: We do not collect your device ID, IP address, or location data.
- Crash Reports: We do not collect crash logs or diagnostic information.
1.2 Information Collected by Apple
- Purchase Information: When you purchase ShrinkPix Pro, Apple processes your payment and maintains your purchase record through your Apple ID. We only receive confirmation that a valid purchase was made, not your payment details.
- App Store Analytics: Apple may collect basic analytics (downloads, installations) per their App Store policies. This data is anonymized and aggregated.
2. How We Use Your Information
Since we don't collect any personal data or photos, there is no information for us to use, share, or sell.
The only data interaction is:
- Purchase Verification: When you upgrade to Pro, we verify your purchase status with Apple's servers to unlock features. This is handled by Apple's StoreKit framework and does not expose your personal information to us.
3. Data Storage & Processing
3.1 Local Processing
All image compression, resizing, format conversion, and cropping happens entirely on your iPhone or iPad using native iOS frameworks (Core Image, UIKit). Your photos are processed in memory and saved directly to your Photos library or Files app. No network connection is required or used for image processing.
3.2 Compression History
Compression history (settings you've used) is stored locally on your device using iOS's secure data storage. This data never leaves your device and is deleted when you uninstall the app.
3.3 Custom Presets
Custom presets you create are stored locally on your device. They are not backed up to our servers and remain entirely under your control.
4. Data Sharing & Disclosure
We do not share, sell, rent, or trade your information because we don't collect any.
The only third party that processes any data related to ShrinkPix is:
- Apple Inc.: Processes in-app purchases through the App Store. Governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
5. Your Rights & Control
5.1 Photo Access
ShrinkPix requires photo library access only to import and save images. You control this permission in iOS Settings > ShrinkPix > Photos. You can revoke access at any time.
5.2 Data Deletion
To delete all local data (compression history, custom presets):
- Open ShrinkPix > Settings > Clear All Data, or
- Uninstall the app from your device
5.3 Purchase History
Your purchase history is managed by Apple through your Apple ID. To view or manage purchases, visit your Apple ID account settings.
6. Security
Since all processing happens locally on your device, your photos benefit from iOS's built-in security features:
- iOS Sandbox protection (app isolation)
- Encrypted device storage (when device encryption is enabled)
- No network transmission of photo data
- No cloud storage or backup of your images by ShrinkPix
7. Children's Privacy
ShrinkPix does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. Since we don't collect any personal data at all, the app can be safely used by all age groups. However, in-app purchases require parental approval per Apple's Family Sharing and Screen Time restrictions.
8. International Users
ShrinkPix is available worldwide. Since all processing happens locally on your device and we don't collect or transmit data, there are no international data transfer concerns.
This Privacy Policy complies with:
- GDPR (EU General Data Protection Regulation)
- CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act)
- PIPEDA (Canada Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act)
- Privacy Act 1988 (Australia)
- Apple App Store Guidelines
9. Apple Shortcuts Integration
When you use ShrinkPix with Apple Shortcuts (Pro feature), images are processed within the Shortcuts app's sandbox using ShrinkPix's processing engine. Photos passed through Shortcuts remain local and are not transmitted to any server.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by:
- Posting the new Privacy Policy in the app
- Updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy
- For significant changes, displaying an in-app notification
Continued use of ShrinkPix after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
