Privacy Policy
Last updated: 28 June 2026
Compress File Storage ("the app") scans the media on your device, suggests files you can compress to free up storage, and compresses them while preserving their tags and original dates. This policy explains how your data is handled.
Your files stay on your device
All scanning and compression happen on your device. Your photos, videos and audio files are never uploaded to us or any third party. Compressed outputs are saved only to your device's own storage.
We never delete your files without you
When the app compresses a file it keeps both the original and the compressed copy. Nothing is deleted automatically. You decide later whether to keep the original, the compressed version, or both. Any deletion goes through an in-app Trash and is reversible for a period you control.
Data we collect
The app does not collect or transmit your personal information or media off your device for its core scanning and compression features.
Ads and purchases
The app may show ads (Google AdMob) to free users and offer an optional "Pro" in-app purchase to remove ads and unlock additional features. Ads are served by Google and may use an advertising identifier; see Google's policies for details. Purchases are handled by Google Play — we never receive your payment details.
Permissions
- Photos & media access (READ_MEDIA_IMAGES / VIDEO / AUDIO) — to scan your library so we can find files worth compressing. You can grant access to all media or only selected items.
- Manage / delete confirmation — when you choose to delete or replace a file, Android shows its own confirmation; the app never deletes media silently.
- Notifications — to show scan and compression progress.
- Foreground service — to keep compressing while the app is in the background.
Optional diagnostics
The app may include an optional setting (Settings → "Send anonymous error reports") that is off by default. If you turn it on, the app may send anonymized crash and error diagnostics to help us fix problems. These reports never include your media, file names or personal identifiers, and you can turn the setting off at any time.
Children
The app is not directed to children under 13.
Changes to this policy
We will update this policy before any change to how data is handled goes live.
