squishPrivacy Policy
The short version Squish does not collect, store or share any personal data. The images and PDFs you choose are processed entirely on your device and are never uploaded anywhere. Passwords you type for PDFs are used only on your device and are never stored.
1. Who we are
Squish ("the app") is an Android app developed by Devarsh Desai. This policy explains how the app handles your information. If you have questions, see Contact below.
2. Information we collect
None. Squish has no accounts and no sign-up. It does not include analytics, advertising, tracking or crash-reporting tools, and we do not run any servers that could receive your data.
3. Your files
- Images and PDFs you pick, and photos you take, are processed on your device. They are never uploaded, sent over the internet or copied to any server.
- While you work, Squish keeps private copies of the files you picked and of its results in the app's temporary storage. They are deleted when you remove a file, start over or leave the screen, and Android may also clear this storage at any time.
- Your original files are never changed or deleted.
- Files are only saved outside the app when you choose to save or share them.
4. PDF passwords and PAN
- Unlock PDF, Lock PDF and Merge PDFs may ask for a PDF's password, or let you use your PAN (Permanent Account Number) as a new password.
- Squish uses what you type only on your device, to open or protect that file. It is kept in the app's memory only while you are on that screen. It is never saved, logged, uploaded or shared, and Squish does not remember it for next time.
- Squish cannot recover a forgotten password, and it never tries to guess or break one. Unlock PDF only works when you already know the password.
- A PDF you unlock is saved without a password. Keep it somewhere private. A PDF you lock is protected with AES-256 encryption.
5. Permissions and system features
| What | Why and how it's used |
|---|---|
| Camera | Only if you choose to take a photo or scan a page with the camera. The photo stays on your device. This is optional; you can deny it and still use the app. |
| Photo picker | Squish uses Android's built-in photo picker, so it only receives the images you select. It has no access to the rest of your photo library and requests no storage permission. |
| File picker | The PDF tools use Android's built-in file picker, so Squish only receives the PDFs you select. It requests no storage permission and cannot see your other files. |
| Saving files | Squish uses Android's built-in folder picker and writes only to the folder you choose. |
| Sharing | When you share a file, Android's share sheet sends it to the app you pick. That app's own privacy policy then applies. |
6. Sharing and selling data
We do not share, sell or transfer any personal data, because we do not collect any.
7. Google Play
Squish is distributed through Google Play. Google may collect information related to your download and use of Google Play (for example, installation and crash statistics) under the Google Privacy Policy. As the developer, we may see only aggregated, anonymous statistics from Google, such as the number of installs.
8. Children
Squish does not collect personal information from anyone, including children.
9. Security
Because your files never leave your device, their security depends on your device. We recommend keeping your phone updated and protected with a screen lock.
10. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, for example because a new feature works differently, we will update this page and the effective date above. Significant changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
