PDF STUDIO PRO PRIVACY POLICY
Effective date: July 23, 2026
App: PDF Studio Pro
Package: com.pdfstudio.pro
Developer: hysoft
Privacy contact: sponsorme360@gmail.com
1. SCOPE
This policy covers PDF Studio Pro for Android. It does not cover PDF Studio (com.pdfstudio.basic), which has a separate policy because that edition displays advertising.
PDF Studio Pro has no user accounts, advertising, developer-operated analytics, or developer-operated cloud service. It does not request Android's INTERNET permission. PDF documents and document contents stay on the device unless the user starts an action that sends a file to another app or storage provider.
2. DOCUMENTS AND OTHER DATA PROCESSED ON THE DEVICE
PDF Studio Pro accesses data needed for the document action the user starts:
PDFs, images, and scanned pages selected by the user.
Text recognized by OCR, search text, annotations, signatures, form entries, bookmarks, and PDF passwords entered for a requested operation.
File names, file locations, page counts, first-page previews, recent-file history, and resume positions used by the local library.
App settings such as theme, viewer preferences, and read-aloud state.
Imported documents may be copied into the app's private library so they remain available in Recent and Library. Editing and conversion tools may create temporary working files and new output files. PDF passwords are used for the requested operation; the app does not save them as account credentials or send them to hysoft.
PDF Studio Pro does not upload document contents, scans, recognized text, signatures, or passwords to a hysoft server.
3. FILE ACCESS
The Android system file picker lets the user choose individual files without granting broad storage access. The app also offers optional All files access so its Device PDFs view can find PDFs across shared storage and save requested outputs. The app uses this access for PDF discovery and user-requested file operations, not for advertising or profiling.
On Android 12 and earlier, the app may request the older read-storage permission for the same Device PDFs feature. Users can deny or revoke file access in Android Settings and continue using the system file picker.
4. SCANNING AND OCR
Scanning uses Google Play services ML Kit Document Scanner. Google states that the scanner flow runs on the device, uses Google Play services' camera permission, and returns only the pages the user chooses to share with PDF Studio Pro. The app itself does not declare Android's camera permission. The scanner's models, interface, and scanning logic may be downloaded by Google Play services.
OCR uses the bundled Google ML Kit Text Recognition model and runs on the device. Google states that ML Kit does not send feature inputs, such as images or text, or resulting outputs to Google servers.
ML Kit may still collect technical data for diagnostics and usage measurement: device and app information, per-install identifiers, performance measurements, image format or resolution, input and output size, feature version, event types, and error codes. Google states that it encrypts this technical data in transit and does not transfer it to third parties.

5. SHARING AND EXTERNAL DESTINATIONS
Files leave PDF Studio Pro only when the user chooses an external destination, including Android Share, Print, Open in, a cloud-backed file picker, or another installed app. The selected provider receives the file under its own terms and privacy policy. hysoft does not control those providers.
Google Play may process installation, purchase, licensing, and device data as the app-store provider. PDF Studio Pro does not receive the user's full payment-card details.
6. ADVERTISING, ANALYTICS, AND TRACKING
PDF Studio Pro does not contain the Google Mobile Ads SDK, show ads, access the Android advertising ID, or use an analytics or crash-reporting service operated by hysoft. The limited ML Kit technical collection described in Section 4 still applies.
7. RETENTION AND DELETION
App-library documents, previews, recent history, and settings remain on the device until the user deletes the document, clears the app's storage, or uninstalls PDF Studio Pro. Files exported to Downloads, shared storage, cloud storage, or another app must be deleted from that destination separately.
The app has no hysoft account or hysoft server record to delete. Privacy questions can be sent to the contact address above.
8. SECURITY
Android app storage and URI permission controls protect app-local files from ordinary access by other apps. Android cloud backup and device-transfer backup are disabled for PDF Studio Pro's local files and preferences. Users remain responsible for device security, backups of important documents, and the destinations they choose when exporting or sharing.
9. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
PDF Studio Pro is a general productivity app and is not directed to children under 13. hysoft does not knowingly collect children's personal data through an account or developer server because the app has neither.
10. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
hysoft may update this policy when app features, SDKs, permissions, or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top identifies the current version. Material changes will appear in the policy linked from the Google Play listing and inside the app.
