Effective Date: November 12, 2025
PDF Companion ("App," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our offline PDF reader app. By using the App, you consent to the practices described in this policy.
This App is designed to be 100% offline and does not require internet access for core functionality. We do not collect any personal data from users.
We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information or user data. The App operates entirely on your device:
No Personal Data: We do not request or access your name, email, location, device ID, contacts, photos, or any other personally identifiable information (PII).
No Device Data: While the App may access local storage permissions (e.g., to read PDF files from your device), this data stays on your device and is not shared with us or any third parties.
No Analytics or Tracking: There are no third-party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics, Firebase) integrated into the App. No usage data, crash reports, or logs are sent to external servers.
Offline Functionality: Features like PDF rendering, reflow mode, annotations, and night mode process files locally using open-source libraries (e.g., Syncfusion PDF Viewer, PDF Text). All processing happens on your device.
If you grant permissions for file access (e.g., to open PDFs from your storage), this is handled by your device's operating system and does not involve data transmission.
Since we collect no information:
We do not use any data for advertising, marketing, or analytics.
No data is processed, aggregated, or shared for any purpose.
No Sharing: We do not sell, rent, or share any user data with third parties, including advertisers, analytics providers, or service partners.
Service Providers: The App uses no external services, so there are no third-party disclosures.
Legal Requirements: In the unlikely event of a legal obligation (e.g., a court order), we would only disclose information if required by law. However, as no data is collected, there is nothing to disclose.
Business Transfers: If the App is acquired or merged, user privacy would remain protected under this policy.
The App is not intended for children under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has used the App inappropriately, please contact us.
Your device handles all data locally, so security is managed by your device's built-in protections (e.g., Android/iOS encryption). We recommend keeping your device updated and using strong passwords for file access.
As no personal data is collected:
You have full control over your files within the App.
To "delete" data, simply uninstall the App—any local annotations or cached files can be cleared via your device's storage settings.
For questions about data access, correction, or deletion, contact us (see Section 9). We will respond promptly.
If future updates add data collection (e.g., optional cloud sync), we will update this policy and notify users.
No data is transferred outside your device, so no cross-border transfers occur.
We may update this policy to reflect App changes. Significant updates will be notified via in-app notices or the app store listing. Check this page periodically. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

This policy complies with applicable laws, including GDPR (for EU users) and CCPA (for California residents), where "no collection" means no opt-out rights are triggered.
