Privacy Policy

1. About this policy

This policy applies to the Android app PDF Viewer - Reader & Editor (the “App”) and this privacy-policy website. References to “we,” “us,” or “our” mean the developer of the App. For privacy questions or requests, contact cyborgsolutionpk@gmail.com.

This policy explains local processing as well as information handled by service providers. It does not mean that using the App gives blanket consent to optional advertising or other processing that requires your consent.

2. Documents and information stored on your device

The App accesses files you select or create to provide PDF viewing, annotations, scanning, conversion, page organization, merging, splitting, and visual signing. Depending on the tools you use, this can include PDFs, photos, camera images, document text, handwritten marks, signature images, and document passwords you enter to open or modify a file.

These document operations run on your device. We do not receive document contents, camera images, signatures, or document passwords on a developer-operated server, send them to advertising providers, or upload them for cloud OCR or AI processing. A signature drawing is used as an image on a document; the App does not use it for biometric identity recognition.

The App stores information locally to support its features, such as document thumbnails, temporary working files, saved annotations or signatures, recent-file references, bookmarks, reading position, preferences, and purchase entitlement status. A password you deliberately apply to an exported PDF becomes part of that file's protection.

Files you open from a cloud-backed Android document provider may be downloaded by that provider. Files you export to that provider may be uploaded by it under its own settings and policy. This is separate from the App's local document processing.

3. Advertising and consent

The free version uses Google AdMob. Google's advertising SDK can collect and share your IP address (which can indicate approximate location), app or ad interactions, performance and diagnostic information, and identifiers such as an advertising ID, app set ID, or, where applicable, identifiers related to signed-in accounts on the device. Google uses this information for advertising, measurement, and fraud prevention. Collection depends on the SDK, device settings, consent, and advertising configuration. This information is separate from your document contents.

Where required, a consent message is shown before requesting ads. You can revisit applicable choices using the App's privacy options. You can also manage advertising identifiers through Android settings. Declining personalized advertising does not necessarily stop all processing: non-personalized or limited ads may still use information needed to deliver, measure, and protect advertising services.

The App does not add a separate analytics or crash-reporting service; advertising services include their own measurement and diagnostics. If you purchase ad removal, the App stops requesting ads once that entitlement is recognized. This does not erase information already retained by Google.

4. Optional purchases

Optional ad removal is processed through Google Play Billing. Google processes your payment and account information under its own policies. We do not receive your full payment-card details.

The App uses purchase information provided by Google Play, such as the product identifier, purchase token, and purchase status, to recognize, restore, or troubleshoot your entitlement. The App keeps entitlement information locally. If you contact us about a purchase, we may ask for an order reference so we can help; do not send card details or your Google password. Google retains transaction records under its own policies and legal obligations.

5. Information you choose to send to support

If you email us, we receive your email address and anything you include, such as your name, message, order reference, or attachments. We use this information to answer your request, resolve issues, and maintain necessary correspondence. The App does not automatically email your documents or diagnostics. Please send only the information needed for support and remove sensitive document content where possible. Your email provider also handles your message under its own policy.

6. Permissions and device access

Camera

Used when you choose to scan a document. You can deny or revoke access in Android settings; scanning that needs the camera will then be unavailable.

Selected files and photos

Android's document or photo picker lets you choose content to open, import, or save. The App uses access granted for the selected files or locations, including retained file access where needed to reopen a document. It does not require unrestricted access to every file on your device.

Internet and network access

Used for advertising, consent services, and Google Play purchase checks or restoration. Core document tools work offline.

The App does not request contacts, microphone, or precise-location access for its PDF tools. Advertising providers may infer approximate location from an IP address without requesting precise-location permission.

7. When information is shared

• At your direction: when you choose Share, Export, or a destination provider, the selected file is sent to the app or service you choose. That recipient controls subsequent handling.
• Service providers: Google handles advertising, consent, and billing information as described above. Email providers handle support correspondence, and Netlify hosts this policy page.
• Legal or security needs: information we actually hold, such as support correspondence, may be disclosed where legally required or necessary to address fraud, protect rights, or respond to a valid legal request.

We do not sell your document contents. Advertising-related disclosures may be treated as “sharing,” a “sale,” or targeted advertising under some privacy laws; applicable consent or opt-out choices are described in this policy and the App's privacy options.

8. Retention and deletion

Documents and saved local information remain on your device until you delete them, remove relevant app data, or uninstall the App, depending on the storage location. Clearing app storage or uninstalling generally removes app-private data. Deleting a recent-file entry does not necessarily delete the original document.

Files exported to shared storage, another app, or a cloud provider can remain after uninstalling. Delete those copies through the relevant file manager or service. Device backups and copies made outside the App are controlled by your device or provider settings.

Support correspondence is retained only as long as needed to handle the request and meet legitimate recordkeeping or legal obligations, then deleted or de-identified. Request deletion by email. Google and other independent providers retain their records under their own policies; changing an ad preference or uninstalling does not automatically delete those records.

No App account is created, so there is no App account to close. We cannot remotely access or delete documents held only on your device.

9. Security

We limit document processing to your device and rely on Android's app isolation and permission controls. Keep your device protected and use care when sharing files or saving signature images. Ordinary local files are not automatically protected by an additional App-level encryption layer; document password protection applies only when you deliberately use that feature and save a protected PDF. No storage or transmission method is completely secure.

10. Your choices and privacy rights

You can use core document tools without an account, deny or revoke camera access, choose which files to open or share, delete local data, manage Android advertising settings, and revisit applicable advertising consent in the App's privacy options.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, or objection concerning personal information we hold, or to withdraw consent for future processing. You may also have a right to opt out of certain advertising-related disclosures or complain to your local data-protection authority. Contact us to exercise applicable rights; we may request proportionate verification and will respond as required by law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights.

Where privacy law requires a legal basis, we rely on consent for processing that requires it, legitimate interests for responding to support and protecting services, and legal obligations for required records. These bases do not replace a required advertising consent. Requests concerning Google's independent records can also be directed to Google using its privacy controls.

11. Children's privacy

The App is a general-purpose document tool and is not designed specifically for children under 13. We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children under 13 through support. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate. Applicable age thresholds may differ by country.

12. International processing

Your documents are processed locally unless you choose a sharing or cloud-backed destination. Advertising, billing, hosting, or email providers may process their service information in countries other than yours. Their applicable policies describe international processing and relevant safeguards. Privacy laws in those countries may differ from those where you live.

13. This privacy-policy website

This is a static page hosted by Netlify. We have not added analytics, advertising, tracking scripts, external fonts, contact forms, or cookies to this page. Your browser still sends network information when loading it, and Netlify may process request information such as IP address, browser details, and access logs to deliver and secure hosting. See the Netlify Privacy Policy. External links open services governed by their own policies.

14. Policy updates

We may update this policy when features, service providers, or legal requirements change. The date at the top identifies the latest revision. If a change materially affects how information is handled, we will provide additional notice and obtain consent where required before the new processing begins.
