This Privacy Policy outlines the data collection and processing methods utilized by the Simple PDF mobile application (the "Application"). As a dedicated utility app developer, we prioritize the security and confidentiality of your documents and usage information. This document aims to be transparent and easy to understand for all our users.
Your documents remain exclusively on your device.
All core functionalities of Simple PDF—such as opening, viewing, editing, converting, or arranging PDF files—are processed locally within your phone or tablet. We assure you that we do not upload, transmit, or store the contents of your personal files on our servers or share them with any external service.
To maintain the reliability and compatibility of the Application across the vast ecosystem of Android devices, we automatically gather certain technical information. This data is entirely non-personal and is used strictly for technical support, diagnostics, and continuous improvement of the app.
Device Configuration: Details like the device model, manufacturer, and the version of the operating system (e.g., Android OS version).
Connectivity Information: Basic parameters of your mobile network and generalized device identification data.
We analyze anonymized data to monitor the operational health of Simple PDF. This allows us to identify and fix errors quickly and understand which features are most valuable to our community.
Feature Interaction: High-level, aggregated statistics on how often specific app functions are activated (e.g., how frequently the 'Export to Image' function is selected).
System Failure Logs: Detailed logs generated only when the application unexpectedly crashes. These logs are used only for debugging and eliminating software defects.
Simple PDF is offered to users free of charge, with support provided through integrated advertisements. These ads are facilitated by independent third-party advertising partners, who require specific data to serve advertisements that are relevant to you.
The data typically collected by our ad service partners includes:
Advertising ID: The unique, resettable advertising identifier associated with your device.
IP Address: Used to approximate your general geographical location for appropriate ad targeting (geo-targeting).
Ad Interaction Metrics: Information about your views and clicks on the displayed advertisements.
The privacy policies of these third-party entities govern their handling of this collected data. Our current advertising partners include, but are not limited to, AppLovin, Admob (Google), Facebook (Meta), Pangle, Vungle, and MTG. We strongly recommend reviewing the privacy statements of these respective providers.
To function as a powerful file utility, enabling you to browse, manage, and save PDF documents in any location you choose on your device storage, Simple PDF must request the “All Files Access” permission (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE).
This extensive permission is implemented strictly to execute the file handling and storage operations that you actively initiate and control within the Simple PDF user interface.
