PicTiny Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 3, 2026
PicTiny is a photo resizing and compression app. This policy explains how the PicTiny Android app handles your information.
Summary
PicTiny processes the photos you choose locally on your device. PicTiny does not include ads, subscriptions, user accounts, or cloud photo processing. PicTiny uses Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics to understand app usage and improve stability.
Information We Collect
PicTiny does not ask you to create an account and does not collect your name, email address, contacts, location, payment information, or user-generated profile information.
Firebase Analytics may collect app activity and app/device information, such as feature usage events, app version, device model, operating system version, language, country or region, and Firebase-generated identifiers. PicTiny uses this information only to understand aggregate app usage and improve the app.
Firebase Crashlytics may collect diagnostics when the app crashes or has stability issues, such as crash traces, app state, device model, operating system version, app version, and Firebase-generated identifiers. PicTiny uses this information only to diagnose and fix reliability problems.
Photos and Files
When you select or share photos into PicTiny, the app accesses only the photos you choose through Android system features such as the Photo Picker, share sheet, content provider access, or MediaStore.
Selected photos are processed on your device to resize, compress, convert, crop, rotate, flip, or remove metadata. Output files may be saved to your device, such as under the Pictures/PicTiny folder, when you choose to save them.
PicTiny does not upload your selected photos, output photos, file names, file paths, or photo metadata to Firebase or to the PicTiny developer.
Metadata
PicTiny may read photo metadata, such as image dimensions, orientation, and whether GPS metadata is present, so it can process images correctly and show useful information in the app. Depending on the option you choose, PicTiny can remove GPS metadata or remove metadata from output images before sharing or saving.
Temporary Files
PicTiny may create temporary output files in the app cache so you can preview, save, or share processed images. These temporary files remain on your device and can be cleared from inside the app or by the Android system.
Sharing
When you tap Share, Android opens the system share sheet and sends the output image only to the app or service you choose. The privacy practices of the receiving app or service are controlled by that third party.
Third-Party Services
PicTiny uses Google Firebase as a service provider for analytics and crash reporting:
PicTiny does not sell personal or sensitive user data. PicTiny does not use Firebase data for advertising personalization.
Children's Privacy
PicTiny is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Security
PicTiny is designed to process selected photos locally on your device. Firebase data is transmitted using encrypted connections. Please note that when you share or save output files outside PicTiny, those files are handled by Android and by the app or location you choose.
Retention and Deletion
Temporary output files created by PicTiny remain on your device and can be cleared from inside the app or by the Android system. Saved output files remain in the location you choose until you delete them.
Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics data is retained according to Firebase service settings and Google policies. Because PicTiny does not provide user accounts, account deletion is not applicable. You may contact us at the email below for privacy questions or deletion requests related to data that can reasonably be associated with your app installation.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy if PicTiny's features or data practices change. The updated policy will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
