PageCraft PDF ("PageCraft PDF", "we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected, how it is used, and what choices you have when you use our Android application.
If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the app.
## 1. App Overview
PageCraft PDF is a PDF reader and document tool for Android. The app may provide features such as PDF reading, document scanning, image to PDF conversion, PDF translation, PDF merge, PDF split, file management, notifications, advertising, and subscriptions.
## 2. Information We Collect
We do not require you to create an account to use the app.
Depending on the features you use, the app or third-party services integrated in the app may process the following categories of information:
### Files, Documents, and Images
The app may access PDF files, images, and documents on your device when you choose to open, scan, convert, translate, merge, split, or manage files.
These files are used to provide the document features you request. We do not intentionally upload your PDF files, images, or document contents to our own servers.
### Camera and Scanning Data
If a camera-based scanning feature is available, the app may use your device camera to capture document images. Captured images are used to create or process PDF documents.
### Text Recognition and Translation Data
The app may process text extracted from PDF pages or scanned documents to provide OCR, text recognition, language detection, or translation features. These features may use on-device Google ML Kit components and may require downloading language or recognition models.
### Device and App Information
The app may collect or process technical information such as device model, operating system version, app version, language settings, app configuration, crash information, diagnostics, performance-related information, and identifiers generated by the app or third-party SDKs.
### Advertising Information
The app uses Google AdMob to show ads. AdMob and related Google services may collect advertising identifiers, device information, approximate location derived from network information, ad interaction data, and other information used to provide, measure, limit, and improve advertising.
If required in your region, a consent form may be shown before personalized ads or related data processing.
### Analytics and Crash Data
The app may use Firebase services such as Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, Firebase Remote Config, and Firebase Cloud Messaging. These services may collect app instance identifiers, analytics events, crash logs, diagnostic information, device information, and messaging tokens to help us understand app usage, improve stability, configure app behavior, and send notifications.
### Purchase and Subscription Information
Subscriptions and purchases are processed by Google Play Billing. We may receive limited purchase status information, such as whether a subscription is active, pending, restored, or expired, so that we can unlock subscription features. We do not collect or store your full payment card details.
### Notification Information
The app may send local notifications, quick access notifications, engagement notifications, or Firebase Cloud Messaging notifications. Notification-related data may include notification delivery, click route, notification source, and app entry source.

### Internet and Network Access
The app uses internet access for ads, Firebase services, remote configuration, push notifications, Google Play Billing, consent management, and downloading required language or recognition models.
