Privacy Policy for Tyniy
Last Updated: June 2025
Overview
Tyniy is a photo compression application designed with privacy as a core principle. We believe your photos are personal and should remain on your device. This Privacy Policy explains how Tyniy handles your data and protects your privacy.
Data Collection & Privacy
Tyniy is designed to operate with zero data collection:
- Zero data collection: We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data
- No photo uploads: All photo compression happens locally on your device
- No user tracking: No analytics, tracking pixels, or behavioral monitoring
- No personal information: We don't collect names, emails, or device identifiers
- No third-party services: No external analytics or advertising networks
Photo Processing
Your photos never leave your device during compression:
- Local processing: All compression algorithms run entirely on your device
- Temporary storage: Compressed files are temporarily stored in your device's sandbox
- Original preservation: Your original photos remain completely unchanged
- User control: You decide when to save, share, or delete compressed photos
- Automatic cleanup: Temporary files are automatically removed after 24 hours
- Metadata preservation: EXIF data and timestamps are maintained in compressed files
Device Permissions
Tyniy requests minimal permissions for core functionality:
- Photo Library Access: To import photos for compression and save compressed results
- File System Access: To import photos from Files app, external drives, and SD cards
- Documents Access: To export compressed photos to your chosen locations
These permissions are used exclusively for photo compression workflow and never for data collection or tracking purposes.
In-App Purchases
Tyniy offers optional in-app purchases through Apple's StoreKit:
- Purchase processing: Handled entirely by Apple's secure payment system
- No payment data: We never see or store your payment information
- Receipt validation: Purchase verification happens locally on your device
- Restore purchases: Available through Apple's built-in restore mechanism
Apple may collect purchase data according to their own privacy policy.
Third-Party Services
Tyniy operates independently without external services:
- No analytics frameworks (Google Analytics, Firebase, etc.)
- No advertising networks or tracking SDKs
- No social media integrations
- No crash reporting services that transmit data
- No cloud storage services
The only external interaction is Apple's StoreKit for in-app purchases.
Data Security
Your data security is protected by:
- iOS sandbox: App operates within Apple's secure sandbox environment
- Local processing: No network connections for photo processing
- Temporary file encryption: iOS automatically encrypts temporary files
- No data persistence: No user data stored beyond app sessions
- System permissions: iOS controls all file access permissions
Your Rights
As a Tyniy user, you have complete control:
- Data portability: All your photos remain in your control
- Access control: Revoke photo access permissions at any time in iOS Settings
- Data deletion: Simply delete the app to remove all associated data
- No account required: No sign-up means no account data to manage
- Transparent processing: All operations visible in the app interface
Children's Privacy
Tyniy does not knowingly collect any data from users of any age. The app operates with zero data collection, making it safe for users of all ages while complying with COPPA and similar regulations.
International Users
Tyniy's privacy-first design means:
- No data transfers: Since no data is collected, there are no international data transfers
- GDPR compliance: Zero data collection inherently complies with GDPR requirements
- Local processing: All operations happen within your device's jurisdiction
