Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 3, 2026
App Name: PDF Craft
Your privacy matters. PDF Craft processes all files 100% on your device. We do not collect, upload, or share any of your documents or personal data.
Introduction
PDF Craft ("we", "our", or "us") built PDF Craft as a free, ad-supported mobile application ("App"). This Privacy Policy explains what information is and is not collected when you use our App, how third-party services operate within the App, and your rights regarding your data.
By using PDF Craft, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Information We Do NOT Collect
We do not collect any personal data or documents. Specifically:
We do not collect your name, email, phone number, or any personal identifiers
We do not upload, transmit, or store your PDF files or any documents on any server
We do not track your location
We do not access your contacts, camera, or microphone
All PDF processing — including merge, split, compress, convert, rotate, watermark, sign, annotate, and all other tools — happens entirely on your device. Your files never leave your phone or tablet.
Local Data Storage
The App stores the following data locally on your device only:
Processed output files: Saved to the /storage/emulated/0/PDF Craft/ directory (or your chosen save location)
Cached thumbnails: Temporary preview images for performance optimization
App preferences: Your settings such as theme (light/dark), default output format, and save location preferences
Usage counters: Local-only counters for features like rating prompts (e.g., number of tools used). These are never transmitted externally
This data remains on your device at all times and can be cleared via your device's Settings > Apps > PDF Craft > Clear Cache / Clear Data.
Permissions
The App requests the following device permissions:
Storage / File Access: Required to read PDF files you select through the file picker and to save processed output files. We only access files you explicitly choose — we never scan, index, browse, or access any files beyond your selection
Internet Access: Required solely for loading and displaying advertisements via Google AdMob. No personal data, files, or document contents are ever transmitted over the internet
Third-Party Services
The App integrates the following third-party services:
a) Google AdMob
We use Google AdMob to display banner and interstitial advertisements. AdMob may collect:
Device advertising identifiers (e.g., Google Advertising ID)
IP address
General device information (device model, OS version, screen size)
Ad interaction data (impressions, clicks)
This data is collected and processed by Google in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy:
https://policies.google.com/privacy
AdMob's data disclosure:
https://support.google.com/admob/answer/6128543
We do not share any of your files, documents, or PDF contents with AdMob or any advertising network.
b) Google Play Services
The App uses Google Play Services for core functionality. Google Play Services may collect device and usage information as described in Google's Privacy Policy.
Data Security
Since all document processing happens locally on your device, your files remain under your full control at all times. No files are transmitted to external servers, eliminating risks associated with cloud-based processing.
We recommend securing your device with a PIN, password, fingerprint, or face unlock to protect your locally stored files.
Children's Privacy
PDF Craft is a general-purpose productivity tool and does not target children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information through a third-party service within the App, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
Your Rights
Because we do not collect personal data, there is no personal data to access, modify, or delete from our end. However, you can:
Clear local data: Delete all app data from your device settings at any time
Opt out of personalized ads: Go to your device's Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalization
Uninstall the App: Removing the App will delete all cached data. Output files saved to your storage will remain until you manually delete them
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected within the App and on our website with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
