Privacy Policy

Overview

Squeeze is a video compression app that helps you save storage space on your device. The app compresses videos from your photo library and saves the compressed versions back to your library. All video processing is performed entirely on your device — your videos are never uploaded to our servers.

Bundle Identifier: com.doromo.squeeze

Information We Collect

We do not collect personal information.

Squeeze does not require you to create an account, and we do not collect your name, email address, or any other personal information.

The app accesses the following data from your photo library:

• Videos — To display them for selection and compression
• Photo metadata — Including creation date, location (if present), filename, and file size, used solely to provide the compression feature and to preserve original metadata in compressed output

In-App Purchase: The app uses StoreKit for purchases. Purchase verification and payment processing are handled entirely by Apple. We do not receive your payment card details, billing address, or full purchase history.

Media Files and On-Device Processing

All video processing occurs on your device. Squeeze accesses your photo library only when you explicitly select videos for compression. The app:

• Reads video files to compress them using hardware acceleration
• Writes compressed videos back to your photo library
• Embeds a non-personal fingerprint in compressed files for app functionality (derived from video properties: creation date, duration, resolution, file size)
• Preserves original location data in compressed output if the original video contained location metadata

Your videos are never uploaded to our servers.

Permissions

Photo Library Access:

• NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription: "Squeeze needs access to your videos to scan and compress them to save storage space."
• NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription: "Squeeze saves compressed videos back to your photo library."

The app accesses your photo library only when you explicitly choose to scan for videos or compress videos. The app does not continuously scan or monitor your library in the background.

Purchases and Payments

Squeeze offers a lifetime purchase (product ID: unlock_all_001) via In-App Purchase.

Payment processing:All payments are processed by Apple. We do not receive your payment card details or billing information. Purchases are subject to Apple's terms and conditions.

Refunds: Refund requests for In-App Purchases must be directed to Apple, as Apple processes all payments.

Data Storage and Retention

Squeeze stores the following data locally on your device:

UserDefaults:

• Walkthrough completion state
• Auto-delete preference
• Photo library permission prompt state
• Cached free session count
• Purchase status (boolean)
• Compression records (stored locally only)

Keychain:

• Installation identifier (random UUID)
• Free session usage count
• First app launch timestamp

App does not sync this data across devices or to external servers.

Temporary files: Compressed videos are first written to the system temporary directory before being saved to your photo library. These temporary files are deleted immediately after the compressed version is saved to your library.

Cache: The app may cache video thumbnails in memory to improve scrolling performance. This cache is managed by the system.

Third-Party Services

Squeeze does not use any third-party analytics, advertising, tracking, or crash reporting SDKs.

The app uses only Apple-provided frameworks (StoreKit, Photos, AVFoundation, SwiftUI).

Data Sharing

We do not share any user data with third parties because we do not collect user data.

Children's Privacy

Squeeze does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Your Rights and Choices

Revoke Permissions:You can revoke photo library access at any time via iOS Settings > Privacy > Photos > Squeeze.

Data Deletion: Squeeze does not store personal data on external servers. Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored data.

Purchases:To request refunds or manage purchases, please contact Apple via the App Store or your device's settings.

Changes to This Policy

If we make changes to this privacy policy, we will update the effective date above and post the revised policy within the app and on our website.
