PixelShrink Privacy Policy
In short: PixelShrink processes the photos and requirement text you choose on your device. It has no account, advertising SDK, or developer-operated analytics service. Google ML Kit may send limited technical and usage metrics to Google, but does not send your photo or recognized-text content.
1. Who we are
PixelShrink (package com.kastovia.pixelshrink) is provided by Kastovia Holdings LLC, Georgia, city Tbilisi, Lochini 3, apt 5, 0100. Email privacy questions to contact@kastovia.com.
2. Information the app accesses
PixelShrink accesses only images, requirement screenshots, text, and output folders you deliberately select or share. It may use pixels, dimensions, file size, filename, format, and EXIF metadata to preview, resize, crop, compress, verify, save, and share the output you request.
Optional face-aware crop detects a useful crop focus; it does not identify people or retain biometric templates. Requirement Lens reads a selected screenshot or pasted text to propose dimensions, file-size limits, format, DPI, and background instructions.
3. On-device processing
Photo resizing, compression, EXIF handling, face detection, and text recognition run on the device. PixelShrink does not upload photo pixels, recognized text, face images, or generated outputs to Kastovia or Google. The app does not request broad photo-library permission.
4. Google ML Kit diagnostics
Bundled Google ML Kit face-detection and text-recognition components may collect limited device and application information, a per-installation identifier, performance metrics, feature versions, event types, and error codes for diagnostics. Google states that ML Kit does not send image, video, text input, or resulting content. See Google’s ML Kit Android data disclosure and Privacy Policy.
5. Google Play purchase
The optional PixelShrink Pro permanent unlock is a one-time purchase processed by Google Play. PixelShrink receives only the product and purchase state needed to unlock or restore Pro. Kastovia does not receive payment-card details.
6. Local files and retention
- Outputs are new files in
Pictures/PixelShrinkor a folder you select; originals are not overwritten. - Settings, favorites, recent presets, saved workflows, and onboarding state remain in app storage until changed, app data is cleared, or the app is uninstalled.
- Temporary and batch files may remain in private storage until processing completes or Android clears them.
- Exported images remain under your control and can be deleted through your gallery or file manager.
7. Sharing and cloud folders
If you share an image to another app or choose a cloud-backed folder, Android transfers the file only at your direction. The receiving service then applies its own privacy terms.
8. Security, accounts, and deletion
PixelShrink uses Android system pickers and scoped access. Kastovia does not sell personal information, and PixelShrink creates no online account or cloud profile. Clear app data in Android settings and delete exported files in your gallery or file manager.
9. Changes and contact
We may update this policy when features, SDKs, or legal duties change. Questions: Kastovia Holdings LLC, Georgia, city Tbilisi, Lochini 3, apt 5, 0100 · contact@kastovia.com.
