Privacy Policy

ShrinkPic
Jan 27, 2026

ShrinkPic ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy.
This Privacy Policy explains how data is handled in ShrinkPic — a photo compression app designed with privacy as a core principle.

1. Data Collection & Usage

100% Local Processing

ShrinkPic is designed as a completely local application.

  • Your photos never leave your device. All compression processing happens entirely on your iPhone.
  • We do not upload your photos to any server, cloud service, or third party.
  • We do not have access to view, store, or analyze your photos in any way.
  • Compressed photos are saved directly to your device's photo library.

This local-first approach means your photos remain private and under your control at all times.

No Account Required

  • ShrinkPic does not require any account creation or sign-in.
  • We do not collect your email, name, phone number, or any other personal information.
  • You can use all features of the app without providing any personal data.

Usage Analytics (Firebase Analytics)

To improve app stability and user experience, ShrinkPic uses Firebase Analytics.

  • Firebase Analytics collects anonymous usage data, such as feature interactions, app launches, and basic device information.
  • This data does not identify you personally and is used solely to understand app performance and usage trends.
  • Analytics data is not used for advertising, profiling, or cross-app tracking.
  • No photo data or metadata is ever transmitted through analytics.

2. App Permissions

ShrinkPic requests only the permissions necessary to function:

  • Photo Library Access
    Required to select photos for compression and to save compressed photos back to your library. Photos are accessed only when you explicitly choose them.

We do not access contacts, camera, location data, microphone, or other unrelated device information.

3. Tracking & Advertising

  • ShrinkPic does not use advertising SDKs.
  • We do not display ads in the app.
  • We do not track users across other apps or websites.
  • Firebase Analytics is used strictly for aggregated, anonymous analytics purposes.

4. Data Security

Your Photos Are Safe

  • All photo processing occurs locally on your device.
  • Photos are never transmitted over the internet.
  • We have no servers that receive or store your photos.
  • Device-level protections (such as Face ID, Touch ID, and passcode settings) help safeguard your photo library.

What We Cannot Access

  • Your original photos
  • Your compressed photos
  • Photo metadata (location, date, camera info)
  • Any content within your photos

5. Third-Party Services

Firebase Analytics

We use Firebase Analytics solely for understanding app usage patterns. Firebase may collect:

  • Anonymous device identifiers
  • App interaction events (e.g., "compression completed")
  • Basic device information (iOS version, device model)

Firebase does not receive any photo data or personally identifiable information.

For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

6. Children's Privacy

ShrinkPic is not intended for children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
Any changes will be reflected on this page, and continued use of the app constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
