Privacy Policy
We value your privacy deeply. Here's exactly how ZipPDF handles your data.
TechieHit Solutions ("we", "our", or "us") operates the ZipPDF Android application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and protection of information when you use ZipPDF. Because ZipPDF is designed as a 100% offline application, our data practices are fundamentally different from most apps: we collect virtually nothing.
Information We Collect
ZipPDF does not collect any of the following:
- Your name, email address, or phone number
- Your device ID, advertising ID, or hardware identifiers
- Your location or GPS data
- Your IP address or network information
- Usage analytics, session data, or behavioral patterns
- Crash reports or diagnostic logs sent to our servers
- Any other personally identifying information
The App operates entirely locally on your device. No data is transmitted to TechieHit Solutions or any third party controlled by us.
Your PDF Files and Documents
ZipPDF processes PDF files entirely on your device. This is a core architectural decision, not an afterthought. Your PDF files are:
- Never uploaded to any server — not ours, not anyone's
- Never transmitted over the internet during any part of compression
- Never stored outside your own device or accessible to TechieHit Solutions
- Never accessed by TechieHit Solutions at any point
The app only accesses files you explicitly choose using Android's native file picker. You are in full control of which files ZipPDF can see at any time.
Internet Permission
ZipPDF does not require internet permission for PDF compression. All compression algorithms run entirely on-device without any network calls.
The app may connect to the internet only for:
- Checking for optional app updates (via Google Play Store)
Storage Permission
ZipPDF does not request broad storage permissions such as READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE or WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE.
Instead, we use Android's modern Storage Access Framework (SAF) and the native file picker. This approach means:
- You choose exactly which files ZipPDF can access — one at a time
- ZipPDF cannot browse or scan your storage without your explicit action
- No blanket access to your photos, documents, or other private files
- Full compliance with Android's modern privacy-first storage model
Third-Party Services
ZipPDF is distributed through the Google Play Store. Google may collect certain information as part of the Play Store distribution, including download and install events, as described in Google's Privacy Policy.
We do not integrate any of the following third-party services into ZipPDF:
- Analytics platforms (e.g., Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude)
- Advertising SDKs (e.g., AdMob, Meta Audience Network)
- Crash reporting tools (e.g., Crashlytics, Sentry)
- Tracking or fingerprinting libraries of any kind
What you see in ZipPDF is what you get — a clean, dependency-light compression tool with no hidden data pipelines.
Children's Privacy
ZipPDF does not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. Since we collect no personal data from any user, ZipPDF is safe for use by users of all ages.
Because there is no registration, account creation, or data submission involved in using ZipPDF, children can safely use the app without sharing any personal information with us.
If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us at support@techiehit.com and we will address the matter promptly.
Data Security
Since ZipPDF collects no personal data and all PDF processing is done locally on your device, there is no data of yours stored on our servers that could be breached or exposed.
Your files remain on your device at all times, subject to your device's own security measures (such as screen lock, device encryption, and Android's app sandboxing). We recommend keeping your Android device up to date to take advantage of the latest security features.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the app, legal requirements, or our practices. We will notify you of any significant changes by:
- Updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy
- Posting a notice in the ZipPDF Play Store listing when applicable
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information. Your continued use of ZipPDF after any changes to this policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
Contact Us
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're a small, responsive team and we take every inquiry seriously.
Your Privacy is Our Priority
ZipPDF was built from the ground up to never know what you compress or who you are. This privacy policy exists not because we collect data, but because we want you to know that we don't.
