Privacy Policy for True PDF Reader
**Last updated:** August 30, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how **True PDF Reader** ("we", "our", or "the app") handles your information when you use our mobile application.
---
## 1. Overview
True PDF Reader is designed as a minimal, on-device utility app. The app's primary purpose is to open and display PDF files. We do **not** collect, store, or transmit your personal documents, files, or sensitive information to any external servers.
---
## 2. Information We Handle
### A. Local PDF Files (On-Device Only)
* When you open a PDF file in the app, it is processed **entirely on your device** using Android's built-in `PdfRenderer`.
* Your files, documents, and viewing history are **never** uploaded, copied, or shared over the internet.
### B. Information Collected by Third-Party Services (AdMob)
The app uses **Google AdMob** to display banner and interstitial advertisements. Google AdMob may collect and process certain non-personally identifiable information automatically, including:
* **Device Identifiers**: Advertising ID (such as Google Advertising ID / GAID), device model, operating system version.
* **Ad Interaction Data**: Ad impressions, clicks, diagnostic data, and performance metrics.
* **IP Address**: Used for coarse location (country/city level) to serve relevant advertisements and prevent fraudulent traffic.
For more details on how Google handles advertising data, please review:
* [Google Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy)
* [Google AdMob & Privacy](https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads)

## 3. Permissions Used by the App
* **Open Document / Storage Access**: Used solely to allow you to select and view PDF files stored locally on your device or received via file-sharing apps. We do not access any files without your direct interaction.
---
## 4. Children’s Privacy
True PDF Reader is not directed toward children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children.
---
## 5. Security of Your Data
Because all document viewing is handled strictly offline and locally on your device, your documents remain private and secure on your device at all times.

## 6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
