Privacy Policy for PDF Reader Pro

Welcome to PDF Reader Pro. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience using our application. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of your information when you use the PDF Reader Pro application.

1. Information Collection and Use

PDF Reader Pro is designed to provide you with powerful tools to read, manage, and interact with PDF files on your device. To provide these features, we require certain permissions and access, but we prioritize keeping your data local and secure.

• Local File Access (Storage/Files): To read and manage your PDF documents, the app requires permission to access files on your device. All document processing, viewing, and editing (including adding signatures) are performed locally on your device. We do not upload your personal documents to any external servers.
• Biometric Authentication (Face ID/Touch ID): If you choose to lock the app or specific documents using our privacy features, we utilize your device's native biometric authentication hardware. We do not collect, store, or transmit your biometric data (fingerprints or facial maps). This verification happens entirely on your device's secure enclave.
• Text-to-Speech (TTS): Our app offers a feature to read documents aloud. This uses your device's built-in Text-to-Speech engine. Text extracted from your documents for this purpose is processed locally and is not sent to our servers.

2. Third-Party Services and Advertising

To support the development and maintenance of PDF Reader Pro, we use third-party advertising services, specifically Google AdMob.

These third-party services may collect and use information about your interactions with the app to serve personalized or non-personalized advertisements. The information collected may include:

• Device identifiers (such as Android Advertising ID or Apple Identifier for Advertisers).
• IP addresses.
• General location data (at the city or country level).
• App usage data and interaction with ads.

We do not share any of your personal PDF content, signatures, or sensitive biometric data with these advertising networks. For more information on how Google uses data when you use our app, please review Google's Privacy & Terms.

3. Data Security

We value your trust in providing us your Personal Information, thus we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. Since almost all core functionality (reading, signing, authentication) is handled locally on your device, the risk of data breaches from our end is minimized. However, remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

4. Children’s Privacy

These Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we immediately delete this from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we will be able to do necessary actions.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. These changes are effective immediately after they are posted.
