SquishVideo does not require registration or accounts. We do not collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or passwords. When you use our service, we temporarily process the video file you upload.

We use Google Analytics (gtag.js) to understand how visitors use our site. Google Analytics may set cookies to track anonymous usage data such as page views, session duration, and referral sources. You can opt out by using browser extensions like Google Analytics Opt-out or by disabling cookies in your browser settings.

Each service has its own privacy policy governing data collection.
