PDF Master ("we", "us", "our", or the "App") is a PDF utility application that provides tools for creating, viewing, scanning, converting, editing, organizing, signing, compressing, and securing PDF documents.
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your information. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected and used when you use PDF Master.
PDF Master provides Free and Pro versions.
The Free version provides access to the available PDF tools.
Some functionality may require an internet connection. The Free version also displays advertisements provided through third-party advertising services.
PDF Master Pro is an optional paid upgrade currently priced at US$2.99.
The Pro version provides:
Ad-free use
Offline use of supported PDF functionality
Access to supported PDF tools without advertisements
The exact offline functionality depends on the features supported by the current version of the App.
PDF Master is primarily designed to process documents locally on your Android device.
Depending on the feature you use, the App may access files that you explicitly select or create.
These may include:
PDF files
Images
Word documents
Excel documents
PowerPoint documents
Scanned documents
Other supported files
Examples of processing include:
PDF creation
PDF viewing
PDF scanning
PDF-to-image conversion
Image-to-PDF conversion
PDF merging
PDF splitting
PDF compression
PDF rotation
Page extraction
Page reordering
Adding text
Adding signatures
Adding watermarks
Password protection
Other supported PDF operations
PDF processing performed locally by the App is not uploaded to our servers merely because you use the feature.
PDF Master uses local PDF-processing technologies, including PdfBox-Android, for supported PDF operations.
PDF Master may request access to your camera when you use the document scanning functionality.
The camera is used to capture documents for scanning.
PDF Master may also request access to photos or files when you choose to import images or documents.
You control these permissions through Android's permission system.
The Free version of PDF Master uses Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) to display advertisements.
The Google Mobile Ads SDK may automatically collect certain information, including:
IP address
Device and account identifiers
Advertising ID, where applicable
App interactions
Diagnostic information
Advertising-related information
This information may be used for:
Delivering advertisements
Measuring advertisements
Analytics
Fraud prevention
Improving advertising services
Google documents these categories for its Mobile Ads SDK.
The Pro version does not display advertisements.
For more information about Google's data practices, please review Google's applicable privacy documentation.
PDF Master uses Firebase Analytics to understand how users interact with the App and to improve the App.
Firebase Analytics may collect information such as:
App interactions
App usage information
Device information
App version
Operating system information
Analytics identifiers
Diagnostic and technical information
Analytics information may be used to understand feature usage, improve performance, and improve the user experience.
Firebase provides developers with controls for Analytics collection and advertising-related signals.
PDF Master uses Firebase Crashlytics to detect, diagnose, and fix crashes and application errors.
Crashlytics may collect information associated with application crashes, including:
Device information
Android operating system information
Application version
Crash and error information
Diagnostic information
Crash logs and related metadata
This information helps us identify crashes and improve the stability and reliability of PDF Master.
Firebase states that Crashlytics automatically collects crash reports by default unless the developer changes its collection settings.
PDF Master uses Firebase Remote Config to manage certain application settings and configurations remotely.
Remote Config allows us to change supported configuration values without requiring a new application release.
For example, Remote Config may be used for:
Feature configuration
Application settings
Advertising-related configuration
Other non-document application behavior
Remote Config is not used to upload or store your PDF documents.
Firebase describes Remote Config as a service that allows developers to modify supported app behavior and appearance through cloud-configured parameters.
PDF Master uses Google Play Billing for the purchase of the Pro version.
The current Pro price is US$2.99, subject to applicable Google Play pricing, taxes, currency conversion, and changes.
Payments are processed by Google Play.
We do not directly receive or store your complete credit card, debit card, or other payment-card information.
Google Play may provide our App with purchase information necessary to verify your purchase and enable Pro functionality.
The Free version may require an internet connection for certain functionality and for advertising, analytics, configuration, purchase verification, or other online services.
The Pro version is designed to allow supported PDF functionality to operate offline.
However, some services outside the actual PDF-processing functionality may still require an internet connection, such as:
App updates
Google Play services
Purchase verification
Firebase services
Other services that require network connectivity
We do not use the contents of your PDF documents for advertising purposes.
We do not sell your PDF documents or their contents to advertisers.
PDF documents processed locally remain on your device unless you choose to share, export, upload, or otherwise transfer them.
If a future feature requires documents to be transmitted to a server or third-party service, we will update this Privacy Policy as appropriate.
We may share or allow access to information with service providers that help us operate PDF Master.
These services currently include:
Used to provide advertisements in the Free version.
Used for analytics, crash reporting, and remote configuration.
Used for application distribution and processing Pro purchases.
These providers process information according to their own applicable policies and terms.
We do not sell your PDF documents or their contents.
We take reasonable measures to protect information processed through PDF Master.
Supported PDF processing is performed locally on your device.
Information transmitted by integrated third-party services may be protected using security mechanisms provided by those services.
For example, Google states that information collected by its Mobile Ads SDK is encrypted in transit using TLS.
However, no electronic storage or transmission system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
PDF files and other documents processed locally by PDF Master remain on your device according to the storage location and actions you choose.
We do not intentionally retain locally processed PDF documents on our own servers.
Analytics, advertising, crash-reporting, and configuration information may be retained by the respective third-party services according to their policies and applicable retention practices.
PDF Master is not specifically directed toward children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable laws.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us.
You may control certain permissions through your Android device settings.
You can choose whether to grant permissions required for features such as:
Camera scanning
Photo/image access
File access
You may also choose not to use features that require those permissions.
The Pro version provides an ad-free experience.
PDF Master currently uses third-party technologies and services including:
Google Mobile Ads / AdMob
Firebase Analytics
Firebase Crashlytics
Firebase Remote Config
Google Play Billing
These services may process technical, advertising, purchase, analytics, or diagnostic information as described in this Privacy Policy.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
When changes are made, we will update the Effective Date at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.
We recommend reviewing this Privacy Policy periodically.
