Privacy Policy for Image Resizer Crop Photos

1. Introduction & App Identification

Welcome to Image Resizer Crop Photos ("the Application"), developed by IAA Tech ("we", "us", or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency regarding how data is handled when you use our mobile application.

This Application is intended exclusively for users who are 18 years old and upward (18+). If you are under 18 years of age, you are not permitted to use this Application.

By downloading, installing, or using Image Resizer Crop Photos, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect and Process

A. On-Device Image Files (Photos & Documents)

• Data Handled: Image files (PNG, JPG, WEBP, GIF) and PDF documents that you explicitly select from your device storage.
• Processing Location: 100% On-Device. All photo cropping, dimension scaling, quality compression, and format conversions are performed entirely on your device using local processing.
• Server Transmission: Your images and files are NEVER uploaded, transferred, backed up, or transmitted to our servers or any third-party cloud infrastructure.

B. Automatically Collected Technical Data & Identifiers

While we do not collect personal identifiers directly, our integrated third-party SDKs (Google AdMob and Google User Messaging Platform) automatically collect certain technical information from your device over encrypted HTTPS connections:

• Device Identifiers: Google Advertising ID (GAID / Ad ID).
• Network & Hardware Information: IP address, device brand/model, operating system version, screen resolution, and language settings.
• App Interaction Data: Diagnostic logs, performance metrics, and ad interaction events (e.g., ad impressions and clicks).

C. Personal Identifiable Information (PII)

We do not collect, request, or store sensitive Personal Identifiable Information (PII) such as your real name, email address, phone number, physical address, financial accounts, credit card details, or social login profiles.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the data processed within the Application for the following specific operational and technical purposes:

1. Core Application Functionality: To allow you to pick, crop, resize, convert, and save images locally on your device.
2. Local History Management: To maintain a local list of your recent conversions inside your device's internal storage (IndexedDB) so you can access or re-save your files.
3. Advertising & Monetization: To display personalized or non-personalized advertisements via Google AdMob to support the continued development of the free Application.
4. Regulatory Consent & Compliance: To gather and record user consent preferences regarding data privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, ePrivacy, US State Privacy Laws) via Google User Messaging Platform (UMP).
5. Security & Fraud Prevention: To detect invalid ad clicks, combat ad fraud, and ensure proper app execution.

4. Third-Party Services & SDKs

The Application integrates trusted third-party software development kits (SDKs) provided by Google. These third parties collect technical identifiers to deliver advertisements and manage user privacy choices.

  3. Uninstalling the Application from your Android device.

To perform its core functions, Image Resizer Crop Photos requests specific system permissions. Here is why each permission is required:

• READ_MEDIA_IMAGES / READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Required to allow you to select images from your gallery for cropping and resizing.
• WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (API ≤ 28): Required on older Android versions to save resized images to your public Pictures/ImageResizer gallery folder.
• INTERNET & ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Required to communicate with Google AdMob for fetching ads and verifying internet connectivity for privacy consent forms.
• com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID: Required on Android 13+ to allow Google AdMob to access the Google Advertising ID for ad serving and frequency capping.
