Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Video Compressor: Size Reducer is an Android mobile application developed and published on Google Play by TechXcel Dev. ("we", "us", or "our"). This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information within the app, the third-party tools we integrate, and the controls available to you.

If you have questions regarding this policy or our data practices, contact us at techxcelsp@gmail.com.

2. Video Processing and Storage

When you import, capture, or share a video into Video Compressor: Size Reducer, processing happens entirely on your device via Android's local media APIs:

• Saved Videos: Output videos are stored in your device’s local media storage (under Movies/VideoCompressor). The original source video remains unaltered.
• Temporary Cache: During batch or single-file compression, temporary working files are stored in the app's private sandbox cache. These files are automatically purged once processing is complete or cancelled. Any camera recordings captured directly through the app are cached locally for no longer than 24 hours.
• Video Deletion: You can delete compressed files directly from the app interface. On Android 11 and newer, you may also request deletion of the source video, subject to Android’s system confirmation dialog.
• Export & Sharing: Tapping the Share option passes the video file solely to the third-party application you explicitly choose via Android's native system share sheet.

3. Third-Party Services and Analytics

The application integrates services provided by Google LLC. These services collect diagnostic and telemetry data automatically, governed by Google’s Privacy Policy and partner site terms:

• Google AdMob: Delivers banner, interstitial, app-open, and native advertisements. AdMob collects device advertising identifiers (GAID), IP addresses (to determine approximate city/country location), and ad engagement telemetry. This data is utilized to serve ads, limit frequency, calculate impressions, and detect fraudulent activity.
• Google User Messaging Platform (UMP): Gathers and manages your consent preferences for ad personalization in compliance with GDPR, UK GDPR, and applicable US state privacy regulations. Your consent choice is stored locally on your device.
• Firebase Analytics: Collects non-identifying technical metadata (device model, OS version, language, session duration) and in-app event metrics (e.g., number of videos queued, selected compression preset/resolution/bitrate, compression completion or failure status, file size deltas). Firebase Analytics events never contain video files, audio data, or media contents.
• Firebase Crashlytics: Captures stack traces, crash logs, memory state, and error breadcrumbs when an issue or crash occurs. Diagnostic reports may reference technical error strings and generated output file names, but never actual video content.
• Google Play Services: Supports Google Play in-app review requests and automated version update checks.

4. Summary of Data Handled

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We do not access contacts, calendar events, precise GPS coordinates, personal documents, or messages.

5. Android Permissions Used

• Internet & Network State (INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE): Required to fetch advertisements and transmit anonymous crash logs and telemetry.
• Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS): Used to display ongoing compression progress in the background and notify you when an export finishes. You can disable notifications in system settings without impacting compression features.
• Foreground Service (FOREGROUND_SERVICE / FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC): Keeps long-running compression jobs active if you switch to another application.
• Storage (READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE): Required only on legacy Android versions (Android 9 and below) to save compressed videos to the public Movies directory. Modern versions utilize Android's system Photo Picker and MediaStore APIs, requiring no broad storage access.

6. User Rights and Data Control

• Ad Tracking Preferences: You can reset or delete your advertising identifier at any time via Android Settings (Settings > Google > Ads or Settings > Privacy > Ads), or revise your regional ad consent choices using the Privacy settings inside the app.
• Data Erasure: Uninstalling the app permanently purges all files from the application's private cache and internal storage. Saved videos in Movies/VideoCompressor can be removed manually via any file manager or gallery app. To request deletion of analytics records associated with your installation ID, reach out to us at techxcelsp@gmail.com.
• Regional Legal Rights: If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, Switzerland, California (CCPA/CPRA), or other jurisdictions with applicable privacy laws, you possess the right to access, rectify, port, or erase your data, withdraw consent, and object to processing under our legitimate interests.

7. Data Retention & Security

• Media: Video files remain strictly on your local device under your direct control.
• Third-Party Logs: Firebase Analytics retains aggregated event logs for up to 14 months. Crashlytics retains crash reports for up to 90 days before deletion.
• Security: All transmissions between the app and third-party APIs (AdMob, Firebase) occur over encrypted HTTPS/TLS channels.

8. Children’s Privacy

Video Compressor: Size Reducer is not directed toward children under the age of 13 (or the legal threshold defined by your country). We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children. If you believe data relating to a minor has been inadvertently transmitted, contact us immediately to facilitate prompt removal.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may periodically update this policy to reflect operational changes, application enhancements, or regulatory adjustments. Revisions will be published at this location with an updated effective date.
