Welcome to PDF Compress 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 documents on Windows devices.
1. Information We Do NOT Collect
Because PDF Compress Pro functions solely as an offline desktop utility, we do not collect, inspect, store, or transmit:
- The contents, text, form fields, images, or structure of any PDF files you open, compress, or export.
- Digital signatures, certificates, annotations, or metadata inside your documents.
- Your local file paths, directory structures, storage disk names, or system usernames.
- Any personal identification information or user profile data.
2. Offline Processing Architecture
PDF Compress Pro does not rely on third-party cloud compression APIs. When you drop or select a PDF for compression:
- The file stream is processed entirely within local memory (RAM) and local disk space on your computer.
- Optimized output files are written directly to your chosen local destination folder.
- No external network requests are made during the compression process.
3. Information Collected Automatically
The Application does not include any third-party tracking libraries, advertising SDKs, or invasive telemetry. The only data that may 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.
- Zero Document Data: Such platform crash diagnostics never contain your PDF documents, file contents, or personal files.
4. Device Permissions & System Capabilities
PDF Compress Pro asks only for the minimum system access needed to perform its desktop tasks:
- File System Access: Access is restricted strictly to the files and folders you explicitly pick through standard Windows file open and folder selection dialogs. The Application never scans or indexes your personal drives.
- Network Access (if present in manifest): Used only if you click to view online legal documentation or check for standard application updates through the Microsoft Store. Document data is never sent over any network socket.
5. Premium Direct Purchase & Payment Processing
PDF Compress Pro is a premium paid application available for direct purchase from the official Microsoft Store:
- Direct Purchase via Microsoft Store: Users acquire the application through an upfront direct purchase on the Microsoft Store to gain full access to all 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, registration, passwords, or recurring subscription fees.
6. Local Preferences & Data Deletion
All settings (such as your chosen theme mode, compression quality level, and recent files list) are stored exclusively in your local Windows user profile:
- You can clear recent items or reset settings at any time from within the application.
- Uninstalling the application through Windows Settings completely removes all local configuration files and application data from your machine.
7. Children's Privacy
PDF Compress Pro is a general desktop productivity utility that 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.
