Ultra HD Status
Ultra HD Status ("the App," "we," "us," or "our") is an Android application that shrinks video files on your device and helps you share them, including to WhatsApp. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App collects, how it is used, who it is shared with, and the choices you have. By using the App, you agree to the practices described here.
At a glance
When you pick a video in the App, you do so through Android's own picker screen — the App never gets open-ended access to your photos or videos, only the file(s) you personally select.
If you use the WhatsApp-code feature described above, WhatsApp (operated by Meta) shares with us the message you sent (the code) and your WhatsApp phone number, so we know which video to send back and where to send it. This information is used only to fulfill that one request — we do not use it for marketing, and we never message you first.
The App remembers a few simple preferences (such as whether a haptic buzz is turned on) directly on your phone. This information stays on your device and is never sent to us; it is removed automatically if you clear the App's data or uninstall it.
We do not use analytics, advertising, or crash-reporting tools in the App. We do not collect your precise location, contacts, browsing history, or any device advertising identifiers, and we do not require an account, email address, or password to use the App.
| Permission | Why it's needed |
|---|---|
| Internet access | To upload a video only when you choose the WhatsApp-code sharing option, and to check whether you're online. |
| Run briefly in the background | So an upload you started can finish even if you switch away from the App, instead of being cut off. |
| Show notifications (Android 13+) | To show you the progress of an upload you started. We only notify you about actions you took. |
| Check if WhatsApp is installed | So the App can offer a "Send to WhatsApp" button. This does not give us access to your WhatsApp messages, contacts, or account — it only checks whether the app is present on your phone. |
We use the limited information described above only to:
We do not use your information for advertising, to build a profile about you, or for any purpose unrelated to the features above.
We do not sell your information, and we do not share it with anyone for their own advertising or marketing purposes. We use a small number of trusted service providers strictly to operate the App:
Basic technical logs generated by these services (for example, timestamps or error codes used to diagnose problems or prevent abuse) may be kept for a short standard period — typically no more than 30 days — before being automatically deleted. These logs do not include the contents of your videos.
We do not otherwise retain your video content or messages on our servers.
Our cloud service providers may process information on servers located outside your own country, including in the United States. By using the App's WhatsApp-code feature, you understand that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in a country other than your own, which may have different data protection laws than your country of residence.
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect the limited information the App handles, including encrypting data in transit and automatically deleting uploaded videos within an hour. That said, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
The App is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the relevant minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights such as the ability to:
Because uploaded videos are deleted automatically within an hour and we don't keep accounts or profiles, in most cases there is simply no ongoing data to access or delete by the time a request reaches us. You can still reach out with any privacy question or request at the contact details below, and we will respond within a reasonable time (generally within 30 days). We do not sell personal information and do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, so there is nothing to "opt out" of in that respect.
You can also avoid the WhatsApp-code feature entirely and instead share a shrunk video directly from your device using Android's normal share function, in which case nothing is uploaded to our servers at all.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Effective date" above, and material changes will be posted here before they take effect. Continued use of the App after an update means you accept the revised policy.
