ZIP Creator ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our mobile application collects, uses, and discloses information when you use ZIP Creator.
1. Information We Collect
We design ZIP Creator to respect your privacy and local device storage:
- Local Files and Storage: The app accesses files on your device via Storage Access Framework solely to create, extract, view, and manage ZIP and archive files as requested by you. All file processing occurs locally on your device. We do not upload your personal files or archive contents to any external servers.
- Device and Usage Information: We may collect non-personal device information (such as device model, operating system version, and app performance data) to improve app stability and user experience.
- Advertising and Analytics: We use third-party services like Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may collect and use advertising identifiers and device data in accordance with their privacy policies and your consent choices managed via User Messaging Platform (UMP).
- Notifications: We use OneSignal to deliver app notifications and updates if you have opted in.
2. How We Use Information
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
- To provide, maintain, and improve our archive creation and extraction features.
- To display relevant advertisements and measure ad performance through Google AdMob.
- To send important updates, alerts, or notifications via OneSignal.
- To diagnose technical issues and ensure app security.
3. Android Manifest Permissions
ZIP Creator requests the following permissions in the AndroidManifest.xml for core app functionality:
- INTERNET (`android.permission.INTERNET`): Required to access the network for fetching remote configurations, checking app updates, and loading advertisements via Google AdMob and push notifications via OneSignal.
- ACCESS NETWORK STATE (`android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE`): Required to check network connectivity status before attempting network operations, loading ads, or syncing requests.
- POST NOTIFICATIONS (`android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS`): Required to display optional push notifications, archive task progress updates, and announcements (supported on Android 13 and above).
- Storage Access: Uses Android's Storage Access Framework (SAF) and FileProvider to securely select, compress, extract, and share archive files on your device storage.
4. Third-Party Services
Our app integrates with trusted third-party service providers who have their own privacy policies governing data handling:
