Effective Date: November 6, 2026
Thank you for choosing PDF Reader. We understand that documents may contain personal, professional, or confidential information. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you install or use PDF Reader and its document-related functions.
PDF Reader is designed to help users view and work with digital documents. Depending on the version and features available, the application may support PDF reading, document scanning, file conversion, annotations, electronic signatures, and other document management tools.
This policy describes the types of information that may be processed, why certain information is needed, when it may be shared, and how you can exercise your privacy rights.
When you select a document to open, view, edit, convert, or otherwise process, PDF Reader may access the selected file and the information required to perform your requested operation.
Depending on the feature, this may involve:
PDF documents and supported Office files.
Document names, formats, sizes, and storage locations.
Page content and document structure.
Images or files selected for document conversion.
Annotations, signatures, and other modifications made by you.
Access to document content is intended to support the function you choose to use. We do not claim ownership of your documents or obtain rights to use their contents for unrelated purposes merely because you open them in the application.
Unless a particular feature clearly requires transmission to an external service, document processing should take place locally on your device. Any actual server-side processing or third-party transmission must be disclosed according to the feature and the applicable privacy requirements.
If you use a scanning function, PDF Reader may access the device camera after you grant the relevant permission. Images captured through this feature are used to create or process documents according to your instructions.
Camera access is not intended for continuous monitoring or unrelated recording. You can manage or revoke camera permission through your device settings.
To maintain normal operation and investigate technical issues, the application or its integrated service providers may process limited technical information, such as:
Device manufacturer, model, and operating system version.
Application version and general configuration.
Crash reports and diagnostic records.
Performance information and error events.
Network-related technical information required for service communication.
This information helps us identify compatibility problems, improve stability, and maintain the application's functionality.
PDF Reader may request access to certain device resources when you use a feature that depends on them.
File and Media Access: Used to let you select, open, save, import, export, or manage supported documents and images.
Camera Access: Used when you choose to scan physical documents or capture images for document creation.
Network Access: Used for functions that require an internet connection, such as loading online content, communicating with service providers, or retrieving application updates.
Permission availability and technical implementation may differ across Android versions. You can review or change granted permissions in your device settings. Refusing a permission may prevent the corresponding feature from working, but it does not authorize the application to access unrelated resources.
We aim to request permissions only when they are relevant to the functions being used.
Information may be processed for the following purposes:
To open, display, organize, and process documents selected by users.
To provide scanning, conversion, annotation, signing, and other requested document functions where available.
To save user-initiated changes and generated files to the selected storage location.
To diagnose application errors and improve technical performance.
To maintain application security and prevent misuse.
To respond to support requests and user feedback.
To comply with applicable legal obligations.
We do not intentionally use private document contents for purposes unrelated to the requested document operation.
PDF Reader may integrate third-party technologies to support advertising, application analytics, crash monitoring, or technical services.
Depending on the SDKs actually integrated, these providers may process information such as advertising identifiers, device information, app interaction events, diagnostic data, or network information.
Advertising partners may use relevant information to deliver, limit, or measure advertisements. Analytics providers may use technical events to help us understand application performance and usage patterns.
Third-party providers are subject to their own privacy documentation and applicable data protection obligations. We review the services integrated into the application and aim to ensure that their data practices are appropriately disclosed.
Where consent is required by applicable law, relevant consent will be obtained before the corresponding processing begins. Users may also have access to available privacy or advertising controls.
We do not sell users' personal information as part of the ordinary operation of PDF Reader.
Information may be disclosed in limited circumstances:
Technical Service Providers: To companies that provide hosting, analytics, advertising, crash reporting, or application maintenance.
Legal Compliance: When disclosure is required by applicable laws, court orders, or valid requests from authorized authorities.
Security and Rights Protection: When necessary to investigate fraud, address security incidents, or protect the rights and safety of users or other parties.
Business Transactions: In connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or transfer of relevant business assets, subject to applicable privacy safeguards.
We seek to limit disclosures to information that is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.
For users in the European Union or European Economic Area, personal data is processed on an appropriate legal basis under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Depending on the circumstances, these bases may include:
Contractual Necessity: Processing required to provide a document function or service requested by the user.
Legitimate Interests: Processing for application security, troubleshooting, service maintenance, and improvement, where such interests do not override the user's rights and freedoms.
Consent: Processing based on the user's freely given permission, particularly where consent is required for certain advertising or tracking activities.
Legal Obligations: Processing necessary to comply with applicable laws.
Where consent is the legal basis, users may withdraw it at any time. Such withdrawal does not affect processing lawfully performed before consent was withdrawn.
Documents and files created or imported through PDF Reader may be stored locally on your device, depending on your selected settings and the function used.
We retain personal information processed through our services only for as long as necessary to fulfill the relevant purposes or satisfy legal obligations.
Retention periods may differ according to the information type, technical requirements, and applicable laws. When information is no longer needed, we will take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize it, where technically and legally appropriate.
We apply reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or loss.
Security measures may include access controls, restricted internal access, secure communication practices, and appropriate technical protections for information handled by our systems.
However, no digital storage or transmission method can guarantee absolute security. Users should also protect their devices, maintain backups of important documents, and avoid opening files from untrusted sources.
Some external service providers may process information using infrastructure located outside the user's country of residence.
Where personal data originating in the EU/EEA is transferred to a country without an applicable adequacy decision, we will seek to use appropriate safeguards under GDPR, such as Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable, together with additional measures when necessary.
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:
Obtain access to personal data concerning you.
Request correction of inaccurate information.
Request deletion of eligible personal data.
Restrict certain processing activities.
Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
Request data portability where applicable.
Withdraw consent when processing relies on consent.
Lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority.
To exercise these rights, contact us using the email address provided below. We may request reasonable information to verify your identity before processing your request.
These rights are subject to applicable legal requirements and exceptions.
PDF Reader is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children where parental consent is required and has not been obtained.
If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a child in violation of applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to address the issue, including deletion where required.
Parents or legal guardians who have concerns about a child's information may contact us.
PDF Reader may allow users to access files or services provided by external sources. We do not control the privacy policies, security practices, or content of independent third-party services.
When you use an external website or service, its own privacy policy and terms may apply. We encourage you to review those documents before sharing personal information or uploading documents.
If PDF Reader provides account registration or account-related services, users may request deletion of their account and associated personal data through the applicable in-app deletion method or external request channel.
Users may also contact us to request deletion of personal information that we control, subject to applicable legal exceptions.
Deleting the application does not necessarily remove information stored on remote systems or by third-party providers. Likewise, submitting a server-side deletion request does not automatically delete documents saved locally on your device. You may need to remove those files separately.
We may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in application functionality, data processing practices, third-party integrations, or legal requirements.
The latest version will be made available through an appropriate publication channel. The effective date will be updated when a new version is issued.
We encourage users to review this document periodically.
