Summary: PDF Utility is built from the ground up to be a 100% offline app. We do not collect, store, share, or upload any of your files, documents, or personal information. Ever.
1. Introduction
This privacy policy governs your use of the software application PDF Utility ("Application") for mobile devices. The Application is designed to be a complete offline document workspace that offers tools such as viewing, merging, splitting, compressing, locking/unlocking, and converting PDF documents.
2. Information Collection and Use
Personal Data: We do not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. You are not required to register or provide any personal information to use the Application.
Document Data: The Application processes all documents (PDFs, images) entirely locally on your device. Your files are never uploaded to our servers, cloud networks, or any third-party infrastructure. All modifications and utility operations occur in the local temporary workspace of your phone and remain under your complete control.
3. Device Permissions
To provide its core functions offline, the Application may request permission to access your device storage or files. These permissions are used exclusively to:
- Open and read the PDF files you select.
- Save processed documents (merged, split, or compressed PDFs) back to your downloads or selected storage directories.
No other device sensors, identifiers, or tracking features are accessed.
4. Third-Party Services and Ads
The Application does not include any third-party software development kits (SDKs), advertising networks, analytics platforms, or background tracking mechanisms that transmit data over the Internet.
5. Security
We are committed to securing your document workspace. Since all processes run locally on your hardware, your documents are shielded from external interception or data leaks that typically target cloud-based utility platforms.
6. Children's Privacy
Our Application does not collect information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Since no collection takes place, the Application complies fully with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this 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.
