1. Summary
PDF Toolkit processes your documents only on your device. We do not upload, store, read or share your files. No account is required. The free version shows ads provided by Google AdMob and needs an internet connection. The optional Pro purchase removes ads and lets the app work offline.
2. Your documents and files
- Files are opened only when you choose them through Android's file picker or share them to the app. The app can index only folders you explicitly grant.
- All tools (viewing, merging, splitting, compressing, protecting, converting and others) run locally on your device. Your documents are never sent to us or to any third party.
- Results are saved as new files on your device. Your original files are not modified.
- Passwords you enter for protected PDFs are kept in memory only while needed and are never saved or transmitted.
- Temporary working copies are stored in the app's private storage and deleted automatically.
3. Data stored on your device
To provide the library, the app stores on your device: file names, sizes, page counts, dates, tags, favourites, reading position, file checksums (for duplicate detection), thumbnails and your settings. This data never leaves your device, is excluded from cloud backup, and is deleted when you uninstall the app.
4. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The free version displays ads served by Google AdMob. To show and measure ads, Google may collect and process information such as your device's advertising ID, IP address, approximate location derived from your IP address, device and app information, and ad interaction data. This is governed by Google's Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and "How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services" (https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites).
- Consent: where required by law (for example in the EEA, UK, Switzerland and certain US states), the app asks for your consent using Google's User Messaging Platform before personalised ads are shown. You can change your choice at any time in the app under Me → Ad privacy choices.
- You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device settings (Settings → Google → Ads, or Settings → Privacy → Ads).
- Ads are never based on your documents. The app does not give your files or their contents to advertisers.
5. Purchases (Google Play Billing)
The optional Pro unlock is purchased through Google Play. Payment details are handled entirely by Google; we only receive confirmation that a purchase is valid. Your Pro status is stored on your device.
6. Internet connection
The free version requires an internet connection so ads can be displayed. The connection is used only by the Google Mobile Ads SDK, Google's consent platform and Google Play Billing — never to transfer your documents. Pro users can use the app fully offline.
7. Analytics and crash reports
PDF Toolkit does not include its own analytics or tracking. If you choose to share crash reports through Google Play's standard mechanisms, Google Play may provide us with anonymised technical diagnostics.
8. Children
PDF Toolkit is not directed to children under 13, and the ads in the app are not designed for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
9. Data sharing and sale
We do not sell personal data. We do not share your documents with anyone. Information processed by Google for ads and purchases is described in sections 4 and 5.
10. Your rights
Because we do not hold your personal data on our servers, there is nothing for us to export or delete. Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored data. For data processed by Google for advertising, use your Google account and device ad settings, or Me → Ad privacy choices in the app.
11. Security
Files are accessed through Android's secure storage framework, and protected PDFs you create use AES-256 encryption. No method of storage is 100% secure, but your documents never leave your device.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date above shows the latest version. Significant changes will be announced in the app or on its Google Play page.
