PrIvacy PolIcy
1. Introduction
Welcome to PDFBatch: Convert Docs to PDF. This privacy policy explains how our application collects, uses, and discloses information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience on our app.
2. Offline Functionality & File Security
PDFBatch is primarily an offline utility application designed with your privacy in mind.
Local Processing: All PDF conversions, merging, signing, and splitting operations are performed locally on your device using native Android APIs and the LibreOfficeKit engine.
No File Uploads: We do not upload your personal documents (Word, Excel, PDF, JPG, XLSX) to any cloud server. Your sensitive files never leave your device storage.
Digital Certificates: This specifically applies to sensitive files such as Digital Signature Certificates (.p12/.pfx). These files are processed exclusively in your device's volatile memory for the signing process and are never transmitted to us or any third party.
3. Data Collection and Usage
While the app functions offline for document processing, we use third-party services to support the application infrastructure and display advertisements.
A. Information We Collect Automatically
Device & Usage Data: We collect information about how you access our application, including data about the device and network you use, such as your hardware model, operating system version, unique device identifiers (Advertising ID), and IP address.
Crash Logs: We use Firebase Crashlytics to analyze crash reports and improve app stability. This helps us diagnose technical issues. The data collected is anonymous and does not contain your documents.
B. Permissions We Request
Storage Access (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE): "Since our app includes a custom file manager to help you browse and select specific documents (PDF, Word, Excel etc.) from your device storage, we request permission to access your file system. This access is used solely to display your files within the app's file picker and to process the files you explicitly choose. We do not scan, collect, or upload your other personal files."
Internet: Used solely by Google AdMob to load advertisements.
4. Third-Party Service Providers (Advertising)
To keep PDFBatch free for all users, we use mobile advertising services.
Google AdMob: We use Google AdMob to serve advertisements. Google AdMob may use your device's Advertising ID to serve personalized ads based on your interests.
For more information on how Google AdMob collects and uses data, please visit their Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
5. Children’s Privacy
Our Service does not address anyone 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 data, please contact us so that we will be able to do necessary actions.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. These changes are effective immediately after they are posted on this page.
