Zip & Unzip: Archive Manager Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Zip & Unzip: Archive Manager ("App"), developed and published by deepqeeb.pro ("we", "us", or "our"). Zip & Unzip: Archive Manager is a high-performance utility application engineered for iOS devices to provide fast, reliable, and secure file compression, archive extraction, document viewing, and file management.

We believe in strict data minimization and user privacy. This Privacy Policy details what information is processed when you use the App, how your local files are protected, and how our premium subscriptions, in-app purchases, and optional advertising operate.

2. Information We Process & Device Permissions

2.1 On-Device Processing (Zero Cloud Uploads)

All core archive creation, decompression, file inspection, and encryption operations are conducted strictly on your device:

• File Compression & Decompression: When creating or extracting archives (such as ZIP, 7Z, RAR, TAR, GZ, and ISO formats), all data compression, unzipping, and decompression algorithms run entirely in your local iOS execution environment. Your files, folder structures, documents, and archive contents are never uploaded, copied, or transmitted to any external servers or third-party cloud storage.
• Password Protection & Encryption: If you secure archives with passwords or AES-256 encryption, cryptographic keys are processed ephemerally on-device to encrypt or decrypt your files. We never record, store, or transmit your archive passwords or decryption keys.
• Photo & Media Library Access: If you choose to import photos or videos directly from your camera roll into an archive, or save extracted media back to your device, the App accesses your media library strictly to complete the requested action. No visual media is shared or transmitted externally.
• Document & File Picker: When importing files via the iOS document picker or Files app, access is restricted strictly to the files you explicitly select through the standard secure system file picker.
• Document Viewing: Built-in document viewers (PDF, images, audio, video, text) render content locally using native iOS frameworks. No reading habits, document text, or metadata are analyzed or tracked.

2.2 Non-Personal Technical & Diagnostic Data

To identify software crashes, optimize archive unpacking speeds, and ensure device compatibility across iOS releases, we may receive anonymous, aggregated technical metrics from Apple (such as device model, iOS version, crash stack traces, and memory allocation events). This information cannot be used to identify you or inspect the contents of your files.

3. Subscriptions & In-App Purchases

Zip & Unzip: Archive Manager provides optional auto-renewing subscriptions and one-time in-app purchases ("In-App Purchases") to unlock premium capabilities, such as unlimited archive file sizes, password-encrypted archive creation, multi-format extraction, batch operations, and ad-free usage.

• Payment Processing: All financial transactions, billing, subscriptions, and renewals are handled exclusively by Apple Inc. via the App Store. We do not collect, process, or store credit card numbers, bank accounts, or billing addresses.
• Receipt Validation: Entitlements to premium features are verified securely through Apple's StoreKit API.
• Subscription Management: You have full control over your subscriptions and may cancel, downgrade, or manage auto-renewal at any time in your iOS device settings (Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions).

4. Advertising Networks

Free tiers of Zip & Unzip: Archive Manager may display third-party advertisements (such as banner ads or interstitial ads) to help fund ongoing development and regular format compatibility updates.

Advertising partners may process non-sensitive device identifiers (such as Apple's IDFA, subject to your explicit permission via the iOS App Tracking Transparency prompt) to present relevant advertisements. You can modify or withdraw tracking consent at any time in your iOS settings (Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking).

Subscribing to premium plans or purchasing lifetime access completely removes all third-party advertisements from the App.

5. How We Use Information

Any technical data processed by the App is used strictly to:

• Execute requested file archiving, extraction, compression, and viewing tasks locally
• Validate and maintain active premium subscription entitlements and in-app purchases
• Display non-intrusive advertisements in the free version of the App
• Diagnose software crashes, improve decompression speeds, and ensure stability across iOS devices

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, monetize, or distribute your personal information or file data. We only interact with trusted platform infrastructure (Apple App Store for purchases, privacy-compliant ad networks for free tiers) strictly to operate the App. We may disclose information only if required by applicable law, regulation, or legal subpoena.

7. Data Security

Because all archives, documents, and media remain on your local device, they are protected by Apple's sandboxing architecture and hardware-based file encryption. The App supports industry-standard AES-256 encryption to allow you to protect sensitive archives with custom passwords.

8. Children's Privacy

Zip & Unzip: Archive Manager is a general utility application intended for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the relevant age threshold in your jurisdiction). If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect new archive format additions, technical changes, or legal updates. Any modifications will be posted directly on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the App following any posted changes indicates your acknowledgment of the updated policy.
