Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Privacy

MediaOptim is built with privacy as a core principle. Your files never leave your device. All compression and optimization happens 100% locally on your Mac using open-source tools like FFmpeg and Sharp.

We do not upload, store, access, or process your media files on any server. Period.

Information We Collect

  • Account Information: If you purchase a Pro or Business license, we collect your email address and payment information (processed securely by our payment provider).

  • Your media files (photos, videos, audio)
  • File names or metadata from your files

Anonymous Usage Analytics

We may collect anonymous, aggregated usage data to improve the app, such as:

You can opt out of anonymous analytics in the app settings.
