Effective Date: September 6, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how your information is collected, used, and handled when you use the PDF Reader Pro application (package name: houcine.pdfreader), hereinafter referred to as the "App".
By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
The core functionality of the App (viewing, managing, creating, and editing PDF documents) is performed entirely offline and locally on your device. We do not upload, store, or transmit your PDF documents, images, or extracted text to any external servers. Your personal files remain completely on your device.
To provide its core features, the App requests specific permissions on your device:
Storage Permissions (Read/Write/Manage External Storage): The App requires these permissions strictly to discover, read, save, and organize PDF documents stored locally on your device. Without this permission, the App cannot function as a file manager and reader.
Camera Permission: The App requests camera access exclusively when you use the "Scan to PDF" feature. Images captured using the camera are processed locally and are never uploaded to our servers.
The App uses third-party services that may collect information used to identify you, primarily for serving advertisements.
Google AdMob: We use Google AdMob to display advertisements within the App. AdMob may use advertising IDs (such as the Android Advertising ID) and cookies to serve personalized ads based on your interests and usage patterns.
For more information on how Google uses data, please visit: Google Privacy & Terms.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting your Android device's Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalization.
When you use the App, in the case of an error or crash, we may collect data and information (through third-party products) on your phone called Log Data. This Log Data may include information such as your device Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, device name, operating system version, the configuration of the app when utilizing our Service, the time and date of your use of the Service, and other statistics. This information is strictly used to improve the stability and performance of the App.
We value your trust in providing us with your personal information and files. Because the App operates primarily offline, your documents are protected by the security of your own device. We strongly advise you to secure your device with a PIN, password, or biometric lock. However, remember that no method of electronic storage or transmission over the internet is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
These Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. In the case we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we immediately delete this from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we will be able to do necessary actions.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
If you have any questions or suggestions about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact the developer:
