Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 8, 2026

Overview

SlimPix is designed with privacy as a core principle. All image processing happens locally on your device. We do not collect, store, or transmit your images or personal data.

Data Collection

We do not collect any personal data.

SlimPix operates entirely offline and locally on your Mac. Your images are processed on your device and are never uploaded to any server.

What We Don't Collect

  • Your images or photos
  • EXIF metadata from your images
  • Personal information
  • Usage analytics
  • Device identifiers
  • Location data

Local Processing

All image compression and optimization is performed locally on your Mac using:

  • Apple's built-in image processing frameworks
  • MozJPEG (open-source JPEG encoder)
  • Zopfli (open-source PNG optimizer)

No internet connection is required to use SlimPix.

File Access

SlimPix only accesses files that you explicitly drag and drop into the application or select through the file picker. The app operates within macOS sandbox restrictions and cannot access files without your permission.

Metadata Stripping

When you enable the "Strip Metadata" option, SlimPix removes EXIF data, GPS coordinates, camera information, and other metadata from your images. This data is discarded locally and is never transmitted anywhere.

Third-Party Services

SlimPix does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services.

App Store

SlimPix is distributed through the Apple App Store. Apple may collect certain data as described in their privacy policy. This is independent of SlimPix and is governed by Apple's terms.

Children's Privacy

SlimPix does not collect any personal information and is safe for users of all ages.

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 revision date.
