1. Introduction
Welcome to PDF Scanner: Convert & Edit ("we", "our", or "the app"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding your information when you use our mobile application.
PDF Scanner: Convert & Edit is designed with an offline-first, privacy-by-design architecture. We believe that your personal finances, work hours, and spending habits belong solely to you.
2. Information Collection and Storage
LifeCost does NOT collect, transmit, or store any personal or financial data on external servers or in the cloud.
All data entered into the application—including your monthly income, work hours, job stress multipliers, impulse item names, prices, notes, reflection timers, and earned achievement badges—is stored strictly locally on your device using encrypted/private local storage (SharedPreferences).
We do not operate backend servers that receive, process, or aggregate your user data.
3. Third-Party Services and Analytics
LifeCost contains:
- ZERO third-party advertising SDKs (no AdMob, Unity Ads, or similar networks).
- ZERO third-party tracking or behavioral analytics tools (no Google Analytics for Firebase, Facebook Pixel, Mixpanel, etc.).
- ZERO account creation, email sign-ups, or social logins.
Your data is never sold, rented, monetized, or shared with any third party.
4. Device Permissions and Why We Need Them
To deliver core offline functionality, LifeCost requests the following standard Android permissions:
- POST_NOTIFICATIONS: Used strictly to send local notifications when your chosen cooling-off reflection timer expires (e.g., after 24, 48, or 72 hours).
- SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM and USE_EXACT_ALARM: Used to ensure that reflection reminders trigger at the precise scheduled time selected by the user.
- RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Used exclusively to restore pending offline reflection alarms if your device is restarted.
- VIBRATE: Used to provide sensory haptic feedback when interacting with buttons, timers, and unlocking badges.
None of these permissions are used to collect background data or access personal files.
5. Data Retention and Deletion
Because all data resides exclusively on your local device:
- You retain complete control over your data at all times.
- Clearing the app's cache or data through your Android device settings will permanently erase all stored settings, timers, and badge records.
- Uninstalling the application completely removes all locally stored data.
6. Children's Privacy
LifeCost does not knowingly collect or solicit any personal information from children under the age of 13. The application is completely offline and does not harvest any personally identifiable information from any user.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Since we do not collect contact information, we encourage users to review this page periodically.
