Introduction
Welcome to PDF Editor - Convert File ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application (the "App") available on the Apple App Store.
By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the application.
1. Information We Collect
To provide the specific features of PDF Editor - Convert File, such as PDF editing, OCR (Optical Character Recognition), and file conversion, we may request access to certain data and system permissions.
A. Information You Explicitly Provide
l User Content: This includes the PDF files, images, documents, and scanned content that you import, upload, or create within the App.
l Usage Context: We process this data to perform core functions like converting images to PDF, rearranging pages, applying filters, highlighting text, and adding annotations.
l OCR Data: When you use the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) feature, the App analyzes the image or scanned document to extract text. This process is performed to convert your physical documents into editable electronic text.
l Customer Support Inquiries: If you contact us via email (e.g., regarding a bug report or feedback), we collect your email address and the content of your message to respond to your request.
B. Information Collected Automatically
When you access or use the App, we may automatically collect certain information about your device and usage patterns to improve app stability and user experience.
l Device Information: We may collect information such as your mobile device ID (e.g., IDFA), device model, operating system version, system language, and time zone.
l Usage Data: We collect anonymous data about how you interact with the App, such as features used (e.g., frequency of PDF imports), crash logs, and performance diagnostics.
l Advertising Data: The App may display third-party advertisements. These advertising partners may collect non-personally identifiable information (such as your Advertising ID) to serve ads that are relevant to your interests.
2. Permissions We Request
To function correctly, PDF Editor - Convert File requires the following permissions on your iOS device:
l Photo Library Access: Required for the "Image to PDF" and "OCR" features. We need access to your photo gallery to allow you to select images for conversion or text extraction. We only access the specific images you select.
l Camera Access: Required if you choose to scan physical documents directly within the App for OCR processing or PDF creation.
l File System / Local Storage: Required for the "Import PDF" feature. This allows the App to access, read, and modify PDF files stored in your system folders Drive as per your instructions (e.g., deleting pages, rearranging order).
l Tracking Transparency (ATT): With your permission, we may request access to your device's advertising identifier to provide a more personalized ad experience. You can decline this permission in your device settings.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following specific purposes:
l To Provide and Maintain Service: To execute the core functionalities, such as converting multiple images into a single PDF, extracting text via OCR, and managing your PDF files (importing, editing, saving).
l To Improve the App: We analyze crash reports and usage trends to fix bugs and optimize the performance of features like the PDF rendering engine and OCR accuracy.
l To Display Content: To render your PDF files and images with the correct formatting, filters, and annotations as requested by you.
l To Service Advertisements: To display non-intrusive advertisements that help us maintain the App as a free or freemium service.
l Customer Support: To address your technical issues or inquiries sent to our support email.
4. Data Processing and OCR Technologies
l Local Processing: Wherever possible, we strive to process your files locally on your device. For instance, basic PDF editing (rearranging, deleting pages) and image conversions are typically performed without uploading files to a server.
l OCR Functionality: The OCR technology is designed to identify and extract text from your images. Depending on the complexity of the document, this processing may occur locally or via a secure cloud processing service to ensure high accuracy. Any data processed for this purpose is temporary and is strictly used to return the extracted text to you.
5. Third-Party Services and Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others. However, we may share generic aggregated demographic information or use third-party service providers for the following:
l Advertising Partners: We work with third-party advertising networks (e.g., Google AdMob) to display ads. These networks may use cookies or similar technologies to collect data about your interaction with the App to serve relevant ads.
l Analytics Providers: We may use third-party analytics tools (e.g., Firebase, Crashlytics) to monitor and analyze the use of our Service. These tools collect data on app crashes and performance issues but do not access your specific file content.
6. Data Retention and Security
l File Retention: We do not store your personal PDF files or images on our servers permanently. Once the processing (such as OCR or conversion) is complete, the data is retained only on your local device unless you explicitly choose to back it up to a cloud service.
l Security Measures: We implement administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
7. Children's Privacy
We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.
8. Your Rights and Choices
l Opt-out of Ads: You can choose to limit ad tracking in your iOS device settings (Settings > Privacy > Tracking or Advertising).
l Revoke Permissions: You can revoke the App's access to your Photos, Camera, or Files at any time through your device settings, though this may limit the functionality of features like Image to PDF or OCR.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
