PDF Toolkit (“we”, “our”, or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use PDF Toolkit, including PDF management, file organization, tagging, merging, page extraction, OCR text recognition, PDF creation, annotation, and related document tools.
By using PDF Toolkit, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
PDF Toolkit is designed to help you manage and edit PDF files locally on your device. Depending on how you use the App, we may process the following types of information:
When you open, import, scan, edit, merge, split, annotate, or manage PDF files, the App may process the content of those files to provide the requested features.
Your PDF files may contain personal, business, financial, legal, medical, or other sensitive information. PDF Toolkit processes such files only for the functions you choose to use.
You may choose to import PDFs, images, scans, receipts, contracts, or other documents from your device, file storage, or photo library.
The App only accesses files that you select or authorize. We do not access your unrelated files without your permission.
With your permission, the App may access your device camera to scan documents or create PDF files.
Camera access is used only for document scanning and related PDF creation features. We do not use the camera to identify you, record unrelated content, or collect biometric information.
If you use OCR features, PDF Toolkit may process images or PDF pages to recognize and extract text.
The extracted text may be used to create new PDF files, improve document readability, or support other features you choose to use. Unless otherwise stated, OCR processing is performed locally on your device.
When you create folders, custom categories, color tags, or file organization structures, the App may store this information to help you manage your PDF library.
This data is used to organize, filter, and locate your files more efficiently.
When you highlight, underline, draw, add notes, merge files, extract pages, or create new PDFs, the App may process and save the changes you make to your documents.
Such information is used only to provide editing, reading, saving, and file management features.
To maintain and improve the App, we may collect limited technical information, such as device model, operating system version, app version, crash logs, performance data, feature usage data, and diagnostic information.
This information helps us improve app stability, fix bugs, and enhance the user experience.
We may use information for the following purposes:
We do not sell your personal information.
PDF Toolkit is designed as a private, local PDF management tool. Core document operations, including opening files, organizing folders, tagging documents, merging PDFs, extracting pages, annotating files, scanning, and OCR, are intended to be performed on your device.
Your files, categories, tags, annotations, scan results, OCR results, and edited PDFs may be stored locally on your device unless you choose to export, share, back up, or transmit them outside the App.
We do not require you to upload your documents in order to use the core PDF management features.
Please be careful when importing, editing, sharing, or exporting files that contain sensitive information.
PDF Toolkit may request the following permissions:
Used to scan paper documents, receipts, contracts, notes, and other materials to create PDF files.
Used when you choose to import images for PDF creation, OCR, or document conversion, or when you choose to save exported files or images.
Used when you choose to open, import, save, export, or manage documents on your device.
If supported, notifications may be used for document processing status, reminders, or related app features. You can disable notifications in your device settings.
You can manage or revoke permissions at any time in your device settings. Some features may not work properly if required permissions are disabled.
PDF Toolkit may use third-party service providers to support certain functions, such as analytics, crash reporting, advertising, app performance monitoring, subscription management, or infrastructure services.
These third-party services may process limited information according to their own privacy policies.
If the App uses advertising or analytics services, such services may process device identifiers, usage data, approximate location, interaction data, or diagnostic data, depending on the service configuration and your device privacy settings.
We do not authorize third-party service providers to use your information for purposes unrelated to providing services to the App, except as permitted by law or with your consent.
If PDF Toolkit displays advertisements, advertising partners may collect or receive certain information from your device to deliver, measure, and improve ads, subject to applicable laws and your device settings.
Where required, the App will request your permission before tracking your activity across apps and websites owned by other companies.
You can manage tracking permissions in your device settings.
We may share information only in the following circumstances:
We do not sell your personal information.
We retain information only for as long as necessary to provide the App, fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
PDF files, folders, categories, tags, annotations, OCR results, and edited documents stored locally on your device may remain on your device until you delete them, uninstall the App, or clear App data.
Support emails and related communications may be retained for a reasonable period to respond to your request and maintain service records.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. You are responsible for managing sensitive documents carefully and deciding whether to share, export, or store them outside the App.
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your information.
