Smart PDF Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 19, 2026

Smart PDF (“we,” “our,” “the App,” or “Smart PDF”) respects and values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we access, process, use, and protect information when you use Smart PDF.

By using Smart PDF, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Process

Smart PDF is designed to provide PDF reading, creation, and file management features while minimizing the collection of personal information.

Files and Documents

When you use Smart PDF to open, browse, create, or manage PDF files and other supported files, the App may need to access files that you actively select or relevant files stored on your device.

These files may be used to:

-  Open and view PDF files 

-  Browse local files stored on your device 

-  Create PDF files 

-  Manage, rename, or delete files you select 

-  Display recently opened or recently used files 

-  Perform PDF-related actions that you actively initiate 

For core PDF reading, creation, and file management features, file content is generally processed locally on your device.

Unless a specific feature clearly states otherwise and you provide the required authorization, we do not actively upload your PDF files or other document contents to our servers.

Photos and Media Files

If you use features such as “Image to PDF,” creating PDFs from your photo library, or similar functions, Smart PDF may request access to photos or media files stored on your device.

We only access the photos or media content you select after you actively use the relevant feature, and such content is used solely to complete the PDF creation or editing operation you request.

Camera

If you use features such as document scanning or creating PDFs by taking photos, Smart PDF may request access to your device’s camera.

Camera access is used only to:

-  Capture documents 

-  Scan physical documents 

-  Convert captured content into PDF files 

Smart PDF does not activate your camera on its own when you are not actively using a feature that requires camera access.

Files and Storage Permissions

To locate, display, open, and manage PDF files or other supported files stored on your device, Smart PDF may require access to your device’s files or storage.

We use these permissions only to provide file viewing, creation, and management features.

You can modify or revoke these permissions at any time through your device settings.

Notifications

If you allow Smart PDF to send notifications, we may use notification permissions to provide information related to App features, such as file processing status, feature reminders, or service-related notifications.

You can disable notifications from Smart PDF at any time through your device settings.

2. Device and Technical Information

To help ensure stable App performance, diagnose crashes, and improve the user experience, Smart PDF or third-party services we use may process certain technical information, such as:

-  Device model 

-  Operating system and version 

-  App version 

-  Language settings 

-  Network status 

-  Crash logs 

-  Performance and error information 

-  Anonymous or approximate App usage information 

This information is primarily used for troubleshooting, performance optimization, security maintenance, and improving the App experience.

3. Advertising and Third-Party SDKs

Smart PDF may integrate third-party advertising, analytics, crash reporting, or other technical service SDKs.

Depending on your region, device settings, and the services used, these third-party services may process certain information, such as:

-  Device information 

-  App information 

-  Advertising identifiers 

-  IP address 

-  Network information 

-  Advertising display and interaction information 

-  App performance and crash information 

This information may be used by third-party service providers to deliver advertisements, measure advertising performance, detect fraud, analyze App performance, or provide related technical services.

Information processed by third-party services is subject to their own privacy policies.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of the relevant third-party service providers to understand their specific data processing practices.

4. How We Use Information

Smart PDF may use relevant information for the following purposes:

-  Provide PDF reading and file viewing features 

-  Create and manage PDF files 

-  Provide document scanning and image-to-PDF features 

-  Display and manage local files 

-  Save your App settings and preferences 

-  Improve App performance and stability 

-  Diagnose errors and crashes 

-  Prevent fraud, abuse, or security risks 

-  Comply with applicable laws and regulations 

We do not sell the contents of your private PDF files or documents to third parties.

5. Local Data Processing

Smart PDF’s core file viewing and PDF processing functions are primarily performed locally on your device.

For example:

-  Viewing PDF files 

-  Creating PDF files 

-  Creating PDFs from photos 

-  Scanning documents 

-  Managing local PDF files 

-  Renaming files 

-  Deleting files 

Generally, your document content does not need to be uploaded to our servers.

If we introduce cloud-based features in the future, we will provide appropriate notice within the relevant feature and obtain any required authorization in accordance with applicable laws.

6. Information Sharing

Except as described in this Privacy Policy, we do not actively sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

In the following circumstances, certain information may be shared or processed:

Third-Party Service Providers

We may use third-party advertising, analytics, crash reporting, or similar services. These service providers may process relevant data only as necessary to provide their services.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose necessary information when required by applicable laws, regulations, court orders, governmental authorities, or other lawful processes.

Security Protection

Where reasonably necessary to prevent fraud, abuse, security threats, or to protect the lawful rights and interests of users, developers, or others, we may process necessary information in accordance with applicable laws.

7. Data Retention

For PDF files, images, and related files stored on your device, you determine how long such files are retained.

You can delete relevant files through Smart PDF or your device’s file management features.

For information processed by third-party advertising, analytics, or diagnostic services, retention periods are determined by the privacy and data retention policies of the relevant third-party service providers.

We process information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect relevant information and reduce the risk of unauthorized access, loss, misuse, disclosure, or alteration.

However, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the Internet can guarantee absolute security. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that any method of information processing is completely secure.

9. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on the laws applicable in your country or region, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.

You can also directly control the permissions granted to Smart PDF through your device settings, including:

-  Camera permission 

-  Photos or media permission 

-  Files or storage permission 

-  Notification permission 

-  Other system permissions 

If you revoke a permission, certain features that depend on that permission may no longer function properly. However, other features that do not require that permission should generally remain available.

10. Children’s Privacy

Smart PDF is not specifically designed for children.

We do not knowingly require children to provide unnecessary personal information.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently processed personal information belonging to a child where parental or guardian consent is legally required, we will take reasonable steps to handle or delete such information in accordance with applicable laws.

11. Third-Party Links and Services

Smart PDF may contain third-party websites, services, advertisements, or other external content.

Third-party services have their own privacy policies and data processing practices, and we do not control how third parties process your information.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of relevant third-party services before using them.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time due to changes in App features, applicable laws and regulations, or our services.

The updated Privacy Policy will be published on this page, and the “Effective Date” at the top will be revised accordingly.

If a change has a significant impact on your privacy rights, we may notify you through an in-App notice or other appropriate means.

We recommend reviewing this Privacy Policy periodically.
