Privacy Policy
Last updated November 9, 2026
The short version: Featherclip compresses your videos on your device. Your videos, their names, and their contents are never uploaded. There are no accounts, ads, or tracking. The app sends one anonymous count per compressed video so it can show how much space everyone has saved.
Your videos
All compression, trimming, cropping, and speed changes happen on your iPhone or iPad. Videos are read from your photo library or Files only when you pick them, and the results are saved back to your device. Nothing about your videos leaves your device.
Photo library access
Featherclip asks to add videos to your photo library so it can save the compressed copy. If you turn on “Delete Original After Saving,” it also asks for access to your library so it can delete the original, and iOS asks you to confirm each deletion. With that access it can also download videos stored in iCloud Photos directly. Featherclip only reads the videos you pick.
Anonymous usage counts
When a compression finishes, Featherclip sends one anonymous record per video containing only:
- the original and compressed file sizes
- the video's length
- the compression mode used (target size, preset, or custom)
- whether it ran in the app or the share extension, and the app version
It contains no device, user, or install identifier and nothing about the video's name or content. These counts are stored with our database provider, Supabase, and are used only to show combined totals (for example, how much space everyone has saved) and to understand which features are used. They are not linked to you and are not used for tracking or advertising.
Settings and history
Your settings and the list of recent compressions are stored only on your device, shared between the app and its share extension. Removing the app deletes them.
Tips
Tips are optional in-app purchases processed by Apple. We never see your payment details. Apple's privacy policy applies to those transactions.
Other apps
Featherclip may suggest other ShabzCo apps. Tapping one opens Apple's App Store page inside the app. We don't receive any information about you when you do.
Children
Featherclip doesn't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date above.
