1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how 10x Space: Compress Photos & Videos ("the App"), developed and published by Martai ("we," "us," or "our"), handles your information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.
Our core principle is simple: your photos and data never leave your device. The App performs all processing locally on your phone, with zero cloud uploads and zero remote data collection.
2. Data Collection
10x Space does NOT collect, transmit, or store any personal data on external servers. All photo and video processing happens entirely on your device. We do not have access to your photos, videos, or any personal files.
Specifically, we do not collect:
- Personal identification information (name, email, phone number)
- Photos, videos, or any media files
- Location data or GPS coordinates
- Contacts, call logs, or messages
- Browsing history or search queries
- Device identifiers for tracking purposes
3. Photos & Media Access
The App requires access to your device's photos and media library solely for the purpose of compression. This access is used to:
- Read original photo and video files for compression analysis
- Save compressed versions of your files
- Display before/after comparisons for your review
Your photos are never uploaded, shared, transmitted, or made accessible to any external service or server. All processing occurs 100% on your device.
4. Storage Access
The App requires read/write access to your device's storage. This permission is used exclusively for:
- Reading original files that you select for compression
- Saving compressed versions of files to your device
- Managing temporary files created during the compression process
We do not access, read, or modify any files unrelated to the compression process.
5. EXIF & Metadata Handling
By default, the App strips EXIF metadata — including GPS location data, device information, and camera settings — from compressed images to enhance your privacy. This protects you from inadvertently sharing location data when you share compressed photos.
You can choose to preserve original metadata through the App's settings if you prefer to keep this information. Core metadata such as dates and timestamps used for gallery organization is always preserved.
6. Background Processing
The Auto-Compress feature runs as a foreground service on your device when enabled. This service:
- Processes new photos automatically based on your configured schedule
- Runs entirely on your device with no internet connection required
- Does not transmit any data to external servers
- Can be disabled at any time through the App's settings
7. Notifications
The App uses notifications solely to inform you about:
- Compression progress and completion status
- Weekly storage savings summaries
- Background processing status (required for foreground services)
We do not send marketing push notifications, promotional content, or advertisements.
8. Analytics
We may use Firebase Crashlytics or similar crash-reporting tools to collect anonymous crash reports and basic usage statistics. This data:
- Contains no personally identifiable information (PII)
- Does not include any photo or media data
- Is used solely to identify and fix bugs to improve app stability
- Is aggregated and anonymized
9. Third-Party Services
The App may integrate the following third-party services for operational purposes only:
- Firebase Crashlytics — for anonymous crash reporting and app stability monitoring
- Google Play Services — for app distribution and updates
No photo, video, or personal data is shared with any third-party service. Third-party services only receive anonymized technical data necessary for their specific function.
10. Children's Privacy
The App does not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13. The App is a utility tool that does not require account creation, login, or submission of any personal information. If you believe a child has somehow provided personal data through the App, please contact us at contact@martai.in.
11. Data Retention
Since the App does not collect or transmit personal data to external servers, there is no server-side data retention policy. All data related to the App — including compression history, settings, and cached data — is stored exclusively on your device.
12. Your Rights & Control
You have full control over all data associated with the App:
- Clear app data: You can clear all app-specific data at any time through your Android device settings (Settings > Apps > 10x Space > Clear Data)
- Revoke permissions: You can revoke storage and media permissions at any time through your device settings
- Uninstall: Uninstalling the App removes all app-specific data, cache, and settings from your device. Your original and compressed photos remain in your device storage
- Disable features: Auto-compress and notification features can be toggled on/off at any time within the App
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
