This is the Privacy Policy for Video Compressor, an iOS application published by Cloud Motion Lab LLC ("we", "our", "us"). It explains what we collect, why, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and the rights you have. We try to keep this readable. If a section is unclear, write to dev@slyapp.co.
We collect the following categories of personal information when you use Video Compressor: identifiers (Apple-issued anonymous user IDs), commercial information (purchase history within the app), internet or other electronic network activity (in-app usage signals), and any inputs you voluntarily provide to in-app features. We use this information to deliver the app, process purchases through Apple, prevent fraud and abuse, and improve features. Retention is described in the Retention section below. We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. A summary of your California privacy rights and the link to exercise them appear in the State Privacy Rights section below.
Video Compressor is built to collect as little as possible. There are no user accounts, no logins, and no profile pages.
| Category | Purpose | Lawful basis (GDPR Art. 6) |
|---|---|---|
| Anonymous usage analytics | Operate and improve the app | Legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f) |
| Subscription state | Deliver paid features you bought | Performance of contract, Art. 6(1)(b) |
| AI generation inputs | Provide the feature you requested | Performance of contract, Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Permission-gated sensors (camera, microphone, photos) | Run the requested feature on-device | Consent, Art. 6(1)(a), via iOS permission prompt |
| Fraud, abuse, and security monitoring | Protect users and the service | Legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f); legal obligation, Art. 6(1)(c) |
The third-party services that process data on our behalf are listed below. Where data crosses borders, the legal basis for the transfer is identified in the table.
| Subprocessor | Purpose | Region | Transfer mechanism (EU and UK) |
|---|---|---|---|
| TelemetryDeck | Anonymous usage analytics | European Union (Germany) | Adequacy, no transfer needed for EU and UK; GDPR direct application |
| RevenueCat | Subscription state management, anonymized user IDs only | United States | EU-US Data Privacy Framework, with 2021 SCCs as backstop |
| Apple App Store, StoreKit, iCloud | App distribution, subscription processing, anonymous receipt | Global, governed by Apple | Apple's own Data Privacy Framework certification and SCCs, see Apple Privacy Policy |
For transfers from the EU, UK, or Switzerland to the United States, we rely first on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where the recipient is certified, and on the 2021 Standard Contractual Clauses (with the UK International Data Transfer Addendum where applicable) as a backstop. We monitor regulatory changes to the Data Privacy Framework and are prepared to switch to SCCs as the primary mechanism if the Framework is invalidated.
We do not sell personal information for money or other valuable consideration, and we do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, as those terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended. We honor the Global Privacy Control browser signal where it reaches us. Because Video Compressor runs on iOS and does not use a website signup, the practical effect is that no opt-out signal is needed to stop a sale or share that we are not doing.
If you live in a U.S. state with a comprehensive consumer privacy law, you have the rights below. The current list of states is California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia. Washington residents also have rights under the My Health My Data Act, addressed in the Health Data section above.
To exercise any right, email dev@slyapp.co with the words "Privacy Request" in the subject line and tell us which app and what you want. We respond within 45 days, with one 45-day extension where reasonably needed. If we deny a request, you may appeal by replying to the same thread within 60 days. We will respond to the appeal within 45 days. If you are not satisfied, California residents may contact the California Privacy Protection Agency, and other state residents may contact their state Attorney General. Texas, Maryland, Oregon, and other state laws apply regardless of any revenue threshold; we treat all U.S. residents the same.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, portability, objection, and not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that has legal or similarly significant effects. We do not engage in such automated decision-making. To exercise a right, email dev@slyapp.co. You may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. The lead authority for users in the EU is the data protection authority of the country where you are habitually resident. UK users may complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. We will respond within one month of receipt and may extend by two further months for complex requests, with notice.
Video Compressor is rated 4+ and is not directed to children under 13. Under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act Final Rule amendments, biometric identifiers including fingerprints, faceprints, voiceprints, retina or iris patterns, gait, and DNA are personal information when collected from a child under 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information, biometric or otherwise, from a child under 13. If we learn that we have, we will delete it within 30 days. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact dev@slyapp.co and we will delete it promptly. For users between 13 and 16 in jurisdictions that require parental consent for personal-data processing, we rely on the Apple platform's Declared Age Range signal where it is available.
If Video Compressor requests permission for the camera, microphone, or photos, the permission prompt explains the specific feature that needs it. The associated processing is described in the What We Collect section and, where it involves on-device biometric signals, in the Biometric Notice. You can grant or revoke any permission at any time in iOS Settings. Revoking a permission disables only the feature that needs it; the rest of the app continues to work.
All purchases in Video Compressor are processed by Apple under Apple's Media Services Terms. We never see your credit card number, billing address, or Apple ID. We receive an anonymous receipt confirming an active subscription, which the app uses to unlock paid features. Payment data is governed by the Apple Privacy Policy.
We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information. No system is perfectly secure. If we determine that a personal-data breach affecting your information has occurred, we will notify you and applicable regulators in accordance with applicable law. For users in the EU and UK, our notification window is 72 hours after we become aware, in line with GDPR Article 33. For U.S. users, we follow the notification rules of your state.
Data on your device is stored using standard Apple frameworks (UserDefaults, SwiftData, Keychain). Data we send to subprocessors is stored on their infrastructure; the location and retention are listed in the Subprocessors table. We do not operate our own user-data servers for Video Compressor.
We may update this Privacy Policy. For material changes, including expansion of categories collected, new subprocessors that change data flow, new regions, or changes to dispute-resolution rules referenced here, we will give at least 30 days' advance notice through an in-app banner and, where available, the email address associated with your Apple ID, and will update the effective date at the top of this page. Minor changes such as typographical or formatting fixes may be made without separate notice. Continued use of the app on or after the effective date of an updated version constitutes acceptance.
For privacy questions, complaints, or rights requests: dev@slyapp.co. Our registered postal address is Cloud Motion Lab LLC, 30 N Gould St Ste R, Sheridan, Wyoming 82801, United States. We currently process EU and UK personal data at a scale below the threshold that requires a designated GDPR Article 27 or UK GDPR representative. If your processing is in scope of those requirements, the same contact email is the route to a response. We will appoint and publish a representative if and when our processing reaches that threshold.
