Welcome to Squish ("we", "our", or "us"). Squish is a local video processing application available on iOS and Android. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with your use of the Squish app and this website.
We are committed to protecting your privacy. Our core design principle is local-first processing: all video and audio processing operations are performed entirely on your device. We do not operate servers that process your media files.
The Squish app is designed to collect as little information as possible. Specifically, we do not collect:
No account required. Squish does not require you to create an account or sign in to use any feature. You can use the full app anonymously.
All video and audio processing in Squish is performed locally on your device using FFmpeg. This means:
Squish requests the following device permissions solely to deliver its core functionality:
Used to let you select videos from your camera roll as input for processing, and to save processed videos back to your photo library. Files accessed through this permission are read locally on-device; they are never transmitted.
Used to let you open video files from cloud storage providers (e.g., iCloud Drive) or local storage through the operating system's file picker. No file data is transmitted by Squish.
Squish registers as a share target so you can send videos from other apps (e.g., Photos, Files, browsers) directly into Squish. Shared files are handled locally; they are copied to the app's sandbox for processing only.
You may revoke any permission at any time in your device's Settings app. Revoking a permission will limit the functionality that depends on it, but will not affect previously processed files.
All data produced by Squish (processed video files, draft files, app settings) is stored exclusively in the app's local sandbox on your device:
Documents/Drafts/ within the app containerfilesDir/Drafts/ within the app data directoryThis data is accessible only by the Squish app. It is not synced to any cloud service by Squish itself (though your device's OS-level backup settings may include it in device backups — this is outside of our control).
You can delete all app data at any time by uninstalling the app or clearing the app data from your device settings.
The Squish app itself does not integrate third-party analytics, advertising SDKs, or tracking libraries.
The app is distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Those platforms have their own privacy practices governed by their respective privacy policies. We encourage you to review:
This website (the Squish landing page) may collect standard server-side access logs (IP address, browser user agent, pages visited, timestamps) solely for operational purposes such as detecting abuse or diagnosing technical issues. These logs are not linked to your identity and are not shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
This website does not use advertising trackers, third-party analytics, or persistent tracking cookies beyond what is technically necessary to serve the page.
Squish is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
Because Squish processes all data locally on your device and we collect no personal data through the app, there is no cross-border transfer of your personal information attributable to us. If you contact us via email, your message data may be processed in accordance with applicable laws in the jurisdiction where our email provider operates.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including rights of access, correction, deletion, and portability. Because Squish does not collect or store personal data, there is generally no data for us to provide, correct, or delete.
If you believe we hold any personal data about you (for example, from a support inquiry), you may contact us at the address below to exercise your rights.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If changes are material, we will make reasonable efforts to notify users (for example, via a notice on this website or within the app).
Your continued use of Squish after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy, please contact us at:
