Welcome to IMG Compressor Pro ("the Application"), created and maintained by independent developer Yash Rayjada ("I", "me", or "the Developer"). Your privacy is paramount. This Privacy Policy explains how the Application operates, details the direct Microsoft Store purchase model, and confirms our strict commitment to safeguarding your images and photos on Windows devices.
1. Information We Do NOT Collect
Because IMG Compressor Pro functions solely as an offline desktop utility, we do not collect, inspect, store, or transmit:
- The contents, pixels, EXIF data, GPS coordinates, camera information, or visual structure of any image files you open, compress, or export.
- Your local file paths, directory hierarchies, storage volume names, or system usernames.
- Any personal identification information (PII), email addresses, or user profile data.
- Any facial recognition, biometric identifiers, or image analytics.
2. Offline Processing Architecture
IMG Compressor Pro does not rely on third-party cloud compression APIs or external microservices. When you drop or select image files for compression:
- The raw image stream is decoded, processed, and re-encoded entirely within local system memory (RAM) and local disk space on your computer.
- Optimized output images are written directly to your designated local destination folder.
- No external network requests or internet connections are made or required during the compression workflow.
3. Information Collected Automatically
The Application does not include any third-party tracking libraries, advertising SDKs, behavioral analytics, or invasive telemetry. The only data that may ever be generated is standard platform diagnostics:
- Operating System & Crash Reports: Non-personally identifiable crash logs or basic aggregate metrics handled directly by Microsoft Windows or the Microsoft Store to ensure software reliability and crash remediation.
- Zero Image Data: Such platform crash diagnostics never contain your images, photographs, file contents, or personal documents.
4. Device Permissions & System Capabilities
IMG Compressor Pro requests only the minimal system access necessary to perform its desktop duties:
- File System Access: Access is restricted strictly to the image files and target folders you explicitly pick or drag-and-drop through standard Windows file open and folder picker dialogs. The Application never scans or indexes your personal drives in the background.
- Network Access (if present in manifest): Used solely if you explicitly click to open online legal documentation (such as this Privacy Policy or Terms of Service) or check for standard application updates through the Microsoft Store. Your image data is never sent over any network connection.
5. Premium Direct Purchase & Payment Processing
IMG Compressor Pro is a premium paid application available for direct purchase from the official Microsoft Store (Product ID: 9NKGP4TV96XM):
- Direct Purchase via Microsoft Store: Users acquire the application through an upfront direct purchase on the Microsoft Store to obtain lifetime access to all optimization features.
- Zero Financial Data Handled by Developer: The Developer does not collect, receive, process, or store any credit card numbers, debit card details, billing addresses, or banking credentials.
- Secure Microsoft Payment Processing: All financial transactions, billing, tax calculation, and currency conversions are handled securely and directly by Microsoft Corporation under the Microsoft Store Terms of Sale.
- No In-App Accounts or Subscriptions: The Application does not require user accounts, logins, passwords, cloud registrations, or recurring subscription fees.
6. Local Preferences & Data Deletion
All settings (such as your chosen theme mode, accent color, default compression quality, naming prefix/suffix, and default output directory) are stored exclusively in your local Windows user profile:
- You can reset your settings or change your output folder at any time from within the application's Settings screen.
- Uninstalling the application through Windows Settings completely removes all local configuration files and application data from your machine.
7. Children's Privacy
IMG Compressor Pro is a general desktop productivity utility designed for all audiences. It does not collect any personal data from anyone, including children under the age of 13.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect software enhancements or regulatory changes. Any updates will be published with an updated "Last Updated" date at the top of this document.
