Minishot Privacy Policy
Minishot is an Android app published by Transcendental Apps that resizes photos on your device. This policy explains what information we do and do not collect, and who we share it with.
Summary
- Minishot does not collect, upload, or transmit your photos. All resizing happens on your device.
- Minishot does not require an account and does not have any server-side infrastructure that stores user data.
- Minishot does show ads through Google AdMob, and processes in-app purchases through Google Play Billing. Those services collect information independently, covered below.
- Minishot is not directed at children under 13.
Data Minishot Collects Directly
None. The app itself does not collect, log, or transmit any personal information from you or your device.
Photos you select are read from the Android Photo Picker, resized in memory, and written back to your device's local media library. The original photos are never modified unless you explicitly choose to delete them through Android's system confirmation dialog. No copy of any photo is sent off your device by Minishot.
Data Our Third-Party Services Collect
Google AdMob (ads)
Minishot displays ads using the Google Mobile Ads SDK. Google may collect and process information such as:
- Device and ad identifiers
- Approximate location derived from IP address
- App interaction events such as ad impressions and clicks
- Crash and diagnostic data
Google uses this information to serve ads and measure ad performance. You can review and reset your advertising identifier in your device settings under Google and Ads.
If you grant limited ad-tracking or opt out of personalized ads through the in-app consent prompt, AdMob honors that signal.
How Google uses data from AdMob partner apps
Google Play Billing (in-app purchases)
If you buy the Remove ads upgrade, the transaction is processed by Google Play Billing. Google handles payment information directly. Minishot never sees your payment method or billing details. Google returns a purchase token to the app, which the app uses only to unlock the ad-free state locally on your device.

Permissions Minishot Requests
- Photo and media access via the Android system picker so you can choose photos to resize.
- No other sensitive permissions such as location, microphone, camera, or contacts.
How We Would Contact You About This Policy
We do not operate an account system for Minishot, so we have no user-contact database. If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this same URL and the effective date above will be updated.

For feedback, bug reports, or privacy questions, you can also use the Send feedback button inside Minishot's Settings screen.
Children's Privacy
Minishot is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. The third-party services above may have their own age restrictions and terms.
Changes to This Policy
If we materially change how Minishot handles data, we will update this policy and the effective date above. Because we do not collect contact information, we cannot notify you individually.
