VP PDF Reader & PDF Manager ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our mobile application handles your information.
1. Information Collection and Use
VP PDF Reader & PDF Manager is designed as a fully offline utility app.
Personal Data: We do not collect, store, transmit, or share any personally identifiable information (such as your name, email address, phone number, or location).
PDF and Media Files: All PDF files, documents, and folders accessed by the app remain strictly on your local device storage. We do not upload, sync, or transfer your files to any external servers or cloud storage.
2. Permissions Required
To provide full PDF management functionality, our app requests the following permission:
All Files Access (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE / Storage Permission):
Purpose: This permission is required to scan, locate, display, read, rename, move, delete, and organize PDF documents stored across various directories in your internal and external storage.
Usage: Used strictly for local file management tasks initiated by you.
3. Third-Party Services & SDKs
Our app may utilize standard Google Play services to enhance user experience and maintain app performance:
Google Play In-App Updates & Reviews: Used to notify you about app updates and gather feedback within the app.
Google Play Services: Used for core app library operations.
These services may collect non-personal technical data (such as device model, OS version, and crash logs) in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.
4. Prominent Disclosure for All Files Access Permission
In compliance with Google Play Developer Program Policies regarding High-Risk Permissions:
Why is All Files Access Required?
VP PDF Reader & PDF Manager functions as a dedicated document manager. Without access to device storage, the app cannot search for PDF files saved outside standard system media folders, nor can it allow users to rename, move, delete, or organize their files effectively.
Data Handling Notice:
The app reads file paths only locally to generate your document list and folder views.
No file content or personal data is collected, monitored, or transmitted off your device.
You can revoke this permission at any time through your device's System Settings (Settings > Apps > VP PDF Reader & PDF Manager > Permissions).
5. Data Security
Since all data remains stored locally on your device, the security of your files depends on your device's overall security settings. We recommend keeping your device updated and secured with a screen lock or passcode.
6. Children's Privacy
Our application does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. Changes are effective immediately after they are posted on this page.
