FileSqueeze privacy policy

Your files

FileSqueeze processes the files you select on your PC. It does not upload those files to a compression service. It has no FileSqueeze account or advertising SDK.

The app reads selected files and folders, makes thumbnails through Windows, and writes results to the source folder or a folder you select. Source files are retained. Temporary output and image pixel-cache files can be written during processing. Windows and any sync software you use can independently sync folders, including output folders.

Data stored on your PC

Preferences, including the selected output folder, are stored locally in the Windows app settings. The queue is kept in memory for the current session.

Local diagnostic logs record filenames, file sizes, image properties, compression settings, timings, encoder outcomes, and system information. The log's own full path can include your Windows username. Logs are not sent automatically. Review and redact them before sharing with support.

Crash reports and session health

The app uses Sentry for crash reporting and session health. Reports can contain exception types, messages, stack traces, app version, operating system and device information, timestamps and session identifiers. Exception messages can include file paths. Default personal-information collection is disabled. Your media files and local diagnostic logs are not attached to Sentry reports. Sentry receives network connection information when reports are transmitted.

Feedback

If you select Send feedback in Settings and submit a message, the text you enter is sent to the developer through Sentry with app and technical context. This is private developer feedback, not a Microsoft Store review. Do not include private information. The app does not ask for your name or email in the feedback form.

Purchases

Microsoft Store handles purchases, trial status, licensing, payment details, and delivery of updates under Microsoft's own privacy terms. FileSqueeze does not receive your payment card details.

Links and support

Opening privacy or support links opens an external website in your browser. Any information you choose to send to support is provided by you. Support messages are kept until the issue is resolved, and for at most 12 months.

Removing data

You can clear the app's local data through Windows Settings. Resetting or uninstalling the app does not remove source files or completed output files from your chosen folders. Copies made by sync or backup software remain under that software's controls.
