Effective Date: May 30, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Pocket PDF Scan & Read (referred to as the "Application," "we," or "our") handles, processes, and protects data on your mobile device. Built around an "offline-first" architecture, our application ensures that your documents, contracts, and personal scans remain entirely confidential and under your personal control.
As a dedicated productivity utility, the primary purpose of Pocket PDF Scan & Read is to help you view, edit, organize, and digitize documents. To deliver these features, the Application interacts with your device's files and camera under strict privacy safeguards:
Local File Execution: To open, display, annotate, or merge PDF documents, our rendering engine operates entirely locally on your physical device. We do not upload, store, or transmit your files, text inputs, or scanned paperwork to external cloud servers.
Camera-Based Digitization: When you use the scanning module to capture images of receipts, books, or ID cards, the Application accesses your camera solely to capture the image. This visual data is processed locally into a PDF file and is never monitored or shared.
User-Triggered Actions: The Application never modifies files silently. File loading, format conversions, and text additions occur exclusively when you manually select a file or tap a command.
To keep Pocket PDF Scan & Read stable across different Android configurations, prevent rendering bugs, and ensure text scales properly on all screens, minimal non-identifiable technical data is registered during active sessions:
We log basic hardware characteristics, including your smartphone model, manufacturing brand, operating system version, active system language, and screen resolution. This ensures the PDF reader displays typography and layout adjustments accurately according to your regional settings.
If a file crashes the viewer or an image fails to convert into a document, a localized technical report is formatted. This packet contains your device's unique identifier (such as the Android ID), network connection status (Wi-Fi or cellular indicators), IP address, and internal software error codes to help our team deploy bug fixes.
We track anonymous, aggregate behavioral events within the interface—such as how often the image-to-PDF converter is used or the average file size processed. This statistical data is entirely anonymous and cannot be traced back to an individual user.
To support continuous development and provide contextual ad placements, Pocket PDF Scan & Read integrates industry-standard, verified third-party Software Development Kits (SDKs). These partners collect device-level identifiers independently to serve ads and track app performance under their own respective privacy protocols:
Google Play Services & AdMob Ad Systems: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Firebase Analytical Tracking (Google): https://firebase.google.com/terms

Google Play developer guidelines guarantee you comprehensive authority over your data ecosystem, and Pocket PDF Scan & Read fully enforces these rights:
Hardware Permission Management: You can grant or revoke the Application’s access to your device camera or internal storage at any moment through your phone's native system settings. Revoking these permissions will simply pause the scanning or file-loading tools.
Advertising ID Opt-Out: You can reset your device's advertising identifier or opt out of cross-context behavioral tracking at any time by navigating to your device settings (Settings > Privacy > Ads).
Instant Local Purging: Because all document history, local bookmarks, and temporary caches are saved strictly on your local hardware, uninstalling Pocket PDF Scan & Read instantly and permanently removes all app-related data from your smartphone.
Pocket PDF Scan & Read is built for a general audience and does not intentionally interact with, market to, or parse telemetry data from children under the age of 13. If a parent or guardian discovers that a minor has initialized the software and transmitted basic device specs to our technical logging endpoints, please contact us immediately, and we will purge that data from our logs.
We modify this Privacy Policy occasionally to align with updates in global data privacy laws and Google Play developer requirements. Any changes become active and legally binding the exact moment they are posted on this live screen.
