Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Pdf Editor - Pdf Reader ("the App", "we", "our", or "us") handles information when you use the App. We respect your privacy and aim to collect only the information necessary to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the App.
Files and Documents
The App allows you to open, read, manage, edit, merge, split, compress, organize, sign, watermark, protect, and convert PDF documents and other supported files.
Your documents are processed on your device whenever possible. We do not upload the content of your PDF files, images, signatures, notes, or documents to our own servers unless a feature clearly tells you otherwise.
The App may request file or storage access so you can select, scan, save, organize, or edit documents stored on your device.
Permissions
The App may request permissions that are necessary for its core features, including:
- Files / Storage access: to find, open, save, edit, organize, and manage supported documents.
- Photos / Images: when you choose images to convert into PDF files.
- Camera: only if a document scanning feature requires camera access.
Permissions are used only for the related functionality and can be managed from your Android device settings.
Personal Information
We do not require you to create an account to use the main features of the App. We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information such as your name, home address, contacts, passwords, or the contents of your documents.
PDF Signatures and Passwords
If you draw a signature, add a password, create notes, or apply other edits to a document, that information is used to perform the action you requested.
Passwords entered to protect PDF files are intended to be used locally for document encryption and are not intended to be transmitted to our own servers.
Scan to Text and On-Device Processing
Features such as text recognition may process selected images or scanned documents on your device. Where on-device processing is used, the selected content does not need to be sent to our own servers.
Analytics, Crash Reporting, and Diagnostics
The App may use third-party services to help understand app usage, diagnose crashes, monitor performance, and improve stability. These services may automatically collect technical information such as:
- Device model and operating system version
- App version
- Crash logs and diagnostic information
- General app interaction and performance data
- Device identifiers where permitted by applicable platform rules
Such information is used for analytics, security, fraud prevention, troubleshooting, and improving the App.
Advertising
The App may display advertisements provided by third-party advertising services such as Google AdMob. Advertising providers may collect or process certain device, advertising, approximate location, interaction, and diagnostic information in accordance with their own privacy policies and your consent choices.
Where required by law, the App may ask for consent before serving personalized advertising or using certain advertising technologies.

Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. Information may be processed by service providers that support features such as advertising, analytics, crash reporting, security, and app distribution.
We may also disclose information if required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect users, prevent fraud, enforce legal rights, or comply with a valid legal request.
Data Retention
Documents you create, open, or edit remain on your device or in locations you choose to save them. You are responsible for deleting local documents from your device when you no longer need them.
Third-party analytics, advertising, and crash-reporting providers may retain technical information according to their own retention policies.
