Privacy Policy

Welcome to PDF Suite Pro ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience when using our application. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding data handling for our mobile application.

Application Description

PDF Suite Pro is a comprehensive PDF toolkit that allows you to convert, edit, merge, compress, split, rotate pdf and secure PDF documents. All processing is performed locally on your device, ensuring complete privacy and security of your documents.

Our Privacy Promise

• No personal data collection
• No document uploads to external servers
• No tracking or analytics that identify you
• No sharing of information with third parties
• Complete offline functionality

Data Collected — By Whom and Why

PDF Suite Pro never collects your personal information or document content. The advertising SDKs embedded in the app collect limited data to serve ads. Full breakdown:

Your documents are never touched. Only advertising and analytics SDKs collect data, solely for the purposes listed above.

Anonymous Analytics and Crash Data

To improve our app and fix bugs, we use Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics. This data is strictly anonymous and cannot be used to identify you. It includes device type, operating system version, and crash logs.

Local Data Storage

The only data stored by PDF Suite Pro exists locally on your device and includes:

• PDF files you create or modify (stored in your device's Documents folder)
• App preferences and settings (stored in app-specific storage)
• Temporary cache files for processing (automatically cleared)

PDF Suite Pro requests only the minimum permissions necessary to provide its functionality. Here's a detailed explanation of each permission:

📁 Storage Permission

Purpose: To read images and documents you want to convert, and to save the PDF files you create.

• Read images from your gallery for Image to PDF conversion
• Read existing PDF files for editing, merging, or converting
• Save created and modified PDFs to your Documents folder

📷 Camera Permission

Purpose: To enable the Document Scanner feature for capturing documents directly.

• Scan physical documents using your device camera
• Capture images for conversion to PDF
• Camera access is only active when you use the scanner feature

Permissions NOT Required

PDF Suite Pro does NOT require or request:

• Location services
• Contacts or phone access
• Microphone access
• Background location
• Account information

PDF Suite Pro includes the following features, all of which operate entirely on your device without any network communication:

Since PDF Suite Pro operates completely offline and does not collect any user data, your information is inherently protected. However, we implement additional security measures to ensure your documents remain safe:

Security Measures

• Local Processing Only: All PDF operations are performed entirely on your device using the device's native processing capabilities.
• Network Use Limited to Ads & Analytics: Your PDF documents are never transmitted. Only advertising and analytics SDKs (AdMob, Meta, Firebase) send minimal non-personal data over encrypted TLS connections.
• Encrypted Storage: Password-protected PDFs use AES-256 encryption, the same standard used by banks and governments.
• Scoped Storage: On Android 10+, the app uses scoped storage to limit access to only necessary files.
• Temporary File Cleanup: Temporary processing files are automatically deleted after operations complete.

Your Responsibilities

While we ensure the app doesn't compromise your data, we recommend:

• Keeping your device secured with a PIN, password, or biometric lock
• Using strong passwords when password-protecting sensitive PDFs
• Regularly backing up important documents
• Being cautious when sharing PDF files with others

Open-Source Libraries

The app uses open-source libraries for PDF processing, all of which operate locally:

• PDFium: Open-source PDF rendering engine (runs locally)
• iText: PDF manipulation library (runs locally)
• AndroidX Libraries: Standard Android UI components
• Glide: Image loading and caching (local only)

None of these libraries transmit data to external servers. All processing happens on your device.

Advertising Services

PDF Suite Pro displays ads to support free access to all features. We use the following advertising platforms:

• Google AdMob (Google LLC): Serves banner and interstitial ads. Collects Android Advertising ID, approximate location (IP-based), and app interaction data for ad targeting. Google Privacy Policy
• Meta Audience Network (Meta Platforms Inc.): Ad mediation partner. Collects Android Advertising ID and device information for ad delivery. Meta Privacy Policy

You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time via Android Settings → Privacy → Ads → Delete Advertising ID.

What We Don't Include

• Social media integration

PDF Suite Pro is designed as a general-purpose productivity tool and is not specifically directed at children under the age of 13.

The app contains no features that would require parental consent, as there is no:

• Account registration
• Personal data collection
• Social features
• In-app purchases
• Advertising targeted specifically at children
• External links to inappropriate content

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.

Notification of Changes

When we make changes to this Privacy Policy:

• We will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy
• Significant changes will be notified through app update release notes
• The updated policy will be available on this page

Your Continued Use

Your continued use of PDF Suite Pro after any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If you do not agree with the updated policy, please discontinue use of the application.

Under various data protection regulations (including GDPR, CCPA, and others), you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. Since PDF Suite Pro does not collect any personal data, most traditional data rights do not apply. However, we want to be transparent about your rights:

Data Control

You have complete control over your data:

• Access: All files created by the app are stored in accessible locations on your device
• Deletion: You can delete any files created by the app at any time
• Portability: All documents are in standard PDF format and can be used with any PDF-compatible software
• App Removal: Uninstalling the app removes all app-specific data and preferences

No Account Required

PDF Suite Pro does not require you to create an account, provide an email address, or share any personal information to use the app's features. Because we do not create accounts or collect identifiable personal data, there are no specific account deletion options. Any anonymous analytics data is retained according to Google Firebase's default retention policies and cannot be linked back to you.
