This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which the PDF Kit mobile application (the "Service") collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information collected from users.
We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy aims to clearly explain what data is handled by the Service.
Your documents are processed locally. The core functions of reading, editing, and converting files occur exclusively on your device. We do not upload your personal document content to our servers.
To ensure the compatibility, stability, and proper operation of PDF Kit across different mobile platforms, we may collect non-personal technical information, including:
Device model and manufacturer.
Operating system version.
Unique device identifiers.
Mobile network information.
The Service is a file utility tool. Therefore, we require access to files on your device to perform its primary functions (e.g., opening a PDF, saving an edited document, converting an image).
Explicit Access Only: We access files only when you actively initiate an action (open, save, create, import) within the PDF Kit app.
Exclusively Local Use: All file data processing for core functionalities is performed on your device. Your documents are not used for any other purpose outside of the application's core service.
We collect anonymized data on how you interact with the Service. This data helps us monitor application health and performance:
Application usage patterns and feature interaction.
Crash logs and diagnostic reports.
This information is used solely for maintenance, troubleshooting, and improving the app's performance.
As PDF Kit is offered for free, it is supported by advertising. Our third-party advertising partners may collect specific data to provide personalized and relevant ads:
Device's Advertising Identifier (e.g., Google Advertising ID).
IP address.
Information related to your interaction with advertisements within the app.
This data is handled by the respective ad networks according to their privacy policies. Our advertising partners currently include:
AppLovin
Admob (Google)
Facebook (Meta)
Pangle
Vungle
MTG
We strongly recommend reviewing the policies of these partners to understand their data practices.
To allow you to seamlessly view, edit, and manage documents across your device storage, PDF Kit requires the "All Files Access" permission (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE). This permission is used exclusively for the file management activities you initiate inside the app's interface (e.g., choosing a location to save a merged PDF).
We implement reasonable and commercially acceptable security measures designed to protect the limited information we collect against loss, theft, and unauthorized access. However, no method of transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure.
We may periodically update this Privacy Policy. We will inform you of any substantive changes by posting the new policy within the PDF Kit application. You are advised to review this page occasionally for any modifications.
