ZipCam Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 24, 2026

ZipCam ("we", "us", or "our") provides a photo utility app for iPhone and iPad. ZipCam helps you compress photos, batch compress multiple photos, compress to a target size, create passport photos, and geotag photos when you choose to use location-enabled features. This Privacy Policy explains what data the app can access, why that access is needed, and how your data is handled.

1. Information We Collect

ZipCam is designed to process your content primarily on-device. We do not require account sign-up, and we do not ask for personal profile details like your name, phone number, or address.

• Camera Access: Used when you capture photos directly in the app.
• Photos Access: Used to read images you select and save processed images back to your photo library.
• Location Access (for geotagging): Used only when you enable geotagging features. Location data is used to attach location metadata to photos as part of that feature.
• App Usage Data Stored Locally: Certain settings and feature preferences may be stored on your device to improve your in-app experience.
• Anonymous Analytics Data (optional): If enabled, ZipCam may send anonymous app-usage signals (for example screen views, button taps, and compression/purchase flow events) through Firebase Analytics to help improve app quality. ZipCam does not upload your photos, videos, or edited media content for analytics.
• Subscription and Purchase Data: If you subscribe to ZipCam Pro, Apple processes billing and RevenueCat helps us verify subscription status and restore purchases. We do not receive your full payment card details.

2. How We Use Information

• To provide core features such as image compression, batch processing, target-size compression, passport photo creation, and optional geotagging.
• To save your output in your photo library when you choose to export or save images.
• To remember your local app preferences and improve usability across sessions.
• To understand aggregate feature usage and stability trends when optional analytics is enabled.
• To support troubleshooting when you contact us directly and share details with us voluntarily.
• To enable Pro-only features (for example, Infinity folder compression and Photos-tab Pro tools) when an active subscription is detected.

3. Subscriptions and Billing

ZipCam may offer an auto-renewable subscription ("ZipCam Pro"). Billing is handled by Apple through your App Store account. Subscription terms (price, billing period, and auto-renew behavior) are shown in-app before purchase. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account Settings, and you can use Restore Purchases in the app.

4. Data Sharing and Selling

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your photos with third parties for advertising. Your image processing workflow is intended to remain local to your device unless you explicitly choose to share images yourself.

If optional analytics is enabled, anonymous usage events are processed by our analytics provider (Firebase Analytics by Google) to help us improve app quality and product decisions.

5. Data Storage and Retention

Your photos and most app data remain on your device. Since data is generally stored locally, you control retention by deleting photos from your Photos app or removing app data from your device. If you contact support by email, the information you provide in that communication is retained in your email thread for support follow-up.

If you use ZipCam's in-app saved photos library, those are local saved copies created by ZipCam. Deleting a saved copy in ZipCam does not delete your original photo from Apple Photos.

6. Security

We rely on Apple platform security protections and the permission model built into iOS/iPadOS. You can manage or revoke Camera, Photos, and Location access at any time from your device settings.

Location metadata embedding is optional. If you choose to embed GPS metadata in an exported image, recipients and services that receive that image may be able to read location information from the file.

7. Children’s Privacy

ZipCam is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided personal information to us directly, please contact us so we can review and address the issue.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as features evolve or legal requirements change. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date on this page.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - ZipCam

1. What is ZipCam?

ZipCam is a photo utility app for iPhone and iPad that helps you manage image size and output quickly. You can compress single photos, batch compress multiple photos, compress images to a specific target size, generate passport photos, and add geotags when needed.

2. How do I use ZipCam?

• Open ZipCam and choose a feature (single compress, batch compress, target-size compress, passport photo, or geotag tools).
• Select photos from your library or capture new photos where applicable.
• Adjust output settings and process your images.
• Save results to your Photos app.

3. What image formats are supported?

ZipCam supports common image formats, including JPEG, PNG, and HEIC. Supported output options can vary slightly depending on the specific feature and source image.

4. Will compression reduce quality?

Compression typically reduces file size by lowering quality to some extent. ZipCam gives you control over settings so you can choose the right balance between image quality and storage savings.

5. Where are compressed or edited images saved?

ZipCam supports two save destinations:

• Apple Photos app (default): Processed images are saved to your Photos library, subject to the permissions you grant.
• ZipCam in-app library (Photos tab): If you enable the "Save In App" setting, processed images are also saved inside ZipCam's Photos tab. This setting requires an active Pro subscription.

You can choose the setup that fits your workflow and privacy preference.

6. Why is my image not compressing?

• Confirm the selected image format is supported.
• Check that required Photos/Camera permissions are enabled.
• For geotagging features, confirm Location access is enabled if location data is required.
• Try closing and reopening the app, then retry with the same image.

7. Why is the compressed image still large?

Output size depends on the original image resolution, visual complexity, and selected settings. Try a stronger compression level or lower target size if your current result is larger than expected.

8. Is ZipCam free to use?

ZipCam includes free features and may offer optional ZipCam Pro subscription features. If a subscription is available, pricing and billing terms are shown in-app before purchase.

9. How do I cancel my subscription?

Open your iPhone Settings, tap your Apple Account, then Subscriptions, and select ZipCam to manage or cancel. You can also use Restore Purchases in ZipCam to recover access after reinstalling or changing devices.
