Welcome to Elite PDF Read & Edit!
Elite PDF Read & Edit (hereinafter referred to as "the App") is a powerful PDF document reading and editing tool. We value the importance of your personal information and are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy aims to inform you about how we handle your information when you use the App. Please read and understand the full content of this policy before using the App.
1. Information Collection and Use
The core principle of the App is to process your documents locally on your device to maximize your data privacy.
• Local Processing: All core document processing functions of the App, including but not limited to listing, viewing, previewing, sorting, searching, deleting, renaming, sharing, favoriting, recent viewing, scanning to PDF, image to PDF conversion, PDF splitting and merging, PDF locking and unlocking, storage management, download folder management, document recovery, and PDF editing (drawing, strikethrough, underline annotations), are performed locally on your device. We do not collect, upload, store, or share the content of your documents to our servers or any third party for these purposes. All your documents and data remain securely stored on your device.
• Required System Permissions: To enable full app functionality, we may request permission to access certain features on your device. You can revoke these permissions at any time in your device's system settings.
◦ Storage Permission / File Management Permission: Used to access, read, save and rename existing PDF files on your device, as well as to save newly generated or processed PDF files to your specified location. This is essential for the App's operation.
◦ Camera Permission: Used only when you actively choose the "Scan to PDF" feature, to invoke the camera for capturing document images. The captured images are processed only within the App and are not uploaded.
◦ Foreground Service Permission: To ensure stable operation during file operations (such as splitting or merging large PDFs) without being restricted by the system background, we may need to request this permission. This permission is used solely to maintain the normal running state of the App.
• "Recent" and "Favorites" Features: These features only record the file paths or identifiers of documents you have interacted with, locally on your device, to facilitate quick access. This information does not leave your device.
• Share Function: When you use the "Share" function, you can choose to share your document via other applications (e.g., email, messaging apps). This action is initiated by you and handled by your device's operating system. We do not intercept or access the content you share.
• Information We Collect: To provide services, improve product experience, serve advertisements, and perform data analysis, we may collect the following non-personally identifiable information:
◦ Device and Network Information: Including general geographic location (not precise), IP address, and Android ID. This information is used for ad delivery, statistical analysis, and fraud prevention.
◦ Usage and Diagnostics Information: Including app crash logs, feature usage frequency, app performance data, and in-app interaction behaviors. This data is anonymized and aggregated, containing no personally identifiable information or document content, and is primarily used to analyze app stability, optimize product features, and improve user experience.
• Advertising Services: The App contains advertisements. To deliver relevant ads, we integrate third-party advertising partners, such as Google AdMob, AppLovin MAX, Bigo, etc. These partners may use the aforementioned device information (e.g., Android ID) to serve personalized ads. You can reset or limit ad tracking in your device's system settings.
2. Information Storage
All your documents and locally processed data are stored locally on your device's storage. You have full control over your data. This information will be removed when you uninstall the App or clear its data.
The anonymized usage statistics and diagnostics information we collect are stored securely on our servers or those of our third-party service providers, with reasonable technical measures implemented to prevent their loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
3. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal document information to outside parties.
We may disclose information only in the following limited circumstances:
• To comply with the law: If we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or governmental requests.
• To protect rights and safety: To enforce our Terms of Service or protect the rights, property, or safety of Elite PDF Read & Edit, our users, or others.
• Third-Party Service Providers: We may share anonymized, aggregated data with third parties who provide services to us (e.g., data analytics, advertising platforms, crash reporting services). These parties are contractually obligated to protect the data and use it only for the purposes we specify.
4. Third-Party Services
The App incorporates services from third parties, primarily for advertising (e.g., Google AdMob, AppLovin MAX, Bigo) and for collecting anonymous crash reports and analytics. These third-party services have their own independent privacy policies, and their information practices are governed by their own policies. We advise you to review their privacy policies to understand how they may handle data. We assume no responsibility for the content or activities of these linked services.
5. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date. For significant changes, we will provide prominent notice within the App. Please review this Privacy Policy periodically for any updates. Your continued use of the App constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
6. Children's Privacy
Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us. If we discover that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.
