1. Overview
PDF Reader & Editor is a free PDF utility app that helps users open, read, organize, convert, merge, split, extract, compress, and share PDF-related files.
The App is designed to process selected PDF files and images on your device for the tools you choose. The App does not require account registration or login.
2. Information You Provide or Select
The App may access files only when you choose them through Android's system file picker or file-opening flow.
This may include:
- PDF files selected by you.
- Images selected by you for image-to-PDF conversion.
- File names, file sizes, page counts, and file references used for recent files and favorites.
PDF Reader & Editor does not request broad storage access. The App uses Android Storage Access Framework so you stay in control of which files are opened.
3. Local File Processing
PDF reading and editing tools are intended to work locally on your device.
The App may create temporary files or output files for features such as:
- Merge PDF.
- Split PDF.
- Extract pages.
- Image to PDF.
- PDF to image.
- Compress PDF.
- Share generated files.
We do not upload your PDF documents to our own server for these PDF tools.
4. Recent Files and Favorites
The App stores recent file references and favorite status locally on your device. This helps you quickly reopen files you selected before.
This local information may include:
- File URI/reference.
- File name.
- File size.
- Page count.
- Last opened time.
- Favorite status.
This information is stored on your device and is used only to provide the App's recent files and favorites features.
5. Advertising and Third-Party Services
The App may show ads. Advertising helps keep the App free.
The App may use third-party advertising and consent services, including:
- Google AdMob.
- Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) for consent management.
Depending on your region, device settings, consent choices, and ad provider behavior, these services may collect or process data such as:
- Device information.
- Advertising identifiers.
- App interaction data.
- Approximate location inferred by ad services.
- Diagnostics and crash-related data.
- Consent status.
- Ad impressions, clicks, and performance data.
These third-party services process data according to their own privacy policies and terms.

6. Remote Ads Configuration
The App may request a remote JSON configuration file to control ad settings such as:
- Whether ads are enabled.
- Ad unit IDs.
- Ad format priorities.
- Interstitial frequency.
- Banner, native, interstitial, rewarded, and app open ad settings.
This remote configuration does not require uploading your PDF documents. It is used only to control advertising behavior and app monetization settings.
7. Internet and Network Usage
The App uses internet access for:
- Loading ads.
- Displaying consent forms.
- Loading remote ads configuration.
- Opening external links such as the Privacy Policy link.
The App's core PDF tools are intended to work offline after you select local files.
8. Permissions
The App requests only permissions needed for its functionality.
Current permissions may include:
- Internet access: used for ads, consent, and remote configuration.
- Network state access: used to check connectivity for ads and remote configuration.
The App does not request:
- Contacts.
- SMS.

If permissions change in a future version, this Privacy Policy and the Google Play Data Safety form must be updated.
9. Data Sharing
We do not sell your PDF files.
We do not share your selected PDF documents with our own server for PDF processing.
Third-party ad and consent providers may collect and share certain data as described in their own privacy policies, including data used for advertising, fraud prevention, measurement, consent compliance, and service improvement.
10. Data Retention
Recent file references and favorite status remain on your device until:
- You remove them inside the App.
- You clear the App's data.
- You uninstall the App.
Temporary output files may be stored in the App's cache or shared through Android's file sharing system depending on the feature used.
Ad and consent providers may retain data according to their own policies.
11. User Choices and Controls
You can:
- Choose which files the App can open.
- Remove recent file records from the App.
- Manage favorites.
- Clear App data from Android settings.

PDF Reader & Editor is a general productivity app and is not directed specifically to children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through our own servers. However, advertising services may have their own policies and controls for users in different regions and age groups.
If you believe a child has provided personal information through a third-party service, please contact us or the relevant service provider.
13. Security
We use reasonable app design practices to protect local app data and avoid unnecessary permissions. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure.
You should avoid opening files from unknown or untrusted sources.
