Privacy Policy for PDF Reader & Document Viewer
1. Introduction
Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how the PDF Reader & Document Viewer app ("the App") collects, uses, shares, and protects your information in compliance with applicable privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) and Google Play policies.
By installing and using the App, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.
2. What the App Does
PDF Reader & Document Viewer helps you view, open, browse, and manage PDF and other document files stored on your device. To do this, the App requests access to your device's storage so it can list, open, and manage your files, and it may show notifications related to file operations (e.g., download or conversion progress). The App does not access your camera, microphone, contacts, or call logs.
App settings such as your selected language and in-app preferences are stored locally on your device.
3. Information Collected by Third-Party Services
The App uses the Internet permission to display ads, process in-app purchases, and collect basic, anonymous analytics that help us keep the App running and improve it. Through third-party SDKs, the following limited data may be collected automatically:
Device Info: Device model, operating system version, language
Advertising ID (GAID): Used by advertising and analytics services
App Usage & Diagnostics: Features used, app open frequency, and crash/performance logs
IP Address: Processed by advertising and analytics services
Purchase Info: Transaction data when you make an in-app purchase, processed by Google Play Billing
We do not collect the content of your personal documents or files. Files you open or manage stay on your device and are not uploaded to our servers.
4. Why This Data Is Collected
Show ads to support the free App
Process in-app purchases and subscriptions
Measure app usage and improve features
Detect, diagnose, and fix crashes and bugs
Attribute app installs and measure marketing campaign performance
We do not sell personal data or use it for automated profiling with legal effects.
5. Third-Party Services
The App integrates the following third-party services, each with its own privacy policy:
Google AdMob – advertising (https://policies.google.com/privacy)
Google Firebase (Analytics & Crashlytics) – analytics and crash reporting (https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy)
Facebook (Meta) SDK – advertising and analytics (https://www.facebook.com/policy.php)
AppsFlyer – attribution and analytics (https://www.appsflyer.com/legal/services-privacy-policy/)
Google Play Billing – in-app purchase processing (https://policies.google.com/privacy)
These partners comply with Google Play's data policies. We do not sell your data to third parties.
6. Advertising
The App displays ads provided by third-party ad networks. These networks may use the Advertising ID to show personalized or non-personalized ads. Where required by law, the App shows a consent form (Google UMP) so you can choose your ad preferences. You can reset or opt out of personalized ads at any time in your device's ad settings.
7. Permissions Used
Storage (Read/Write, or All-Files Access on supported devices): to let you browse, open, and manage document files on your device
Notifications: to show status updates for file operations such as downloads or conversions
Network / Internet: to display ads, sync app configuration, and enable in-app purchases
Foreground Service: to keep certain file operations running reliably while the App is in use
8. Your Rights (GDPR, CCPA)
Depending on your region, you have the right to:
Access, update, or delete data associated with you
Withdraw consent or revoke app permissions
Opt out of personalized advertising
Request information about the categories of data collected and shared
Because your app settings are stored only on your device, you can delete them at any time by clearing the App's data or uninstalling the App.
9. Data Retention
Your on-device app settings and files remain until you delete them or uninstall the App.
Analytics and crash data collected by third-party services are typically retained for no longer than necessary for the purposes described above and in accordance with each provider's policy.
10. Children's Privacy
The App is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
11. Data Transfers
Data processed by third-party services may be stored or processed on servers outside your country. These providers implement safeguards in line with GDPR and other applicable laws.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The latest version will always be available at this page, and the effective date will reflect the most recent update.
