PDF Tools: Scan & AI - Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 22, 2026
PDF Tools: Scan & AI ("we", "our", or "the App") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, stored, and shared when you use our mobile application.
By using the App, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
The information processed by the App depends on the features you use and the services integrated into the App.
-> Documents and Images
The App allows you to scan documents, convert images into PDF files, read PDFs, merge or split PDF files, organize pages, compress documents, and add annotations or signatures.
Documents, images, and PDFs that you select or create may be processed on your device to provide these features. We do not claim that all document processing is local; certain features, such as AI summaries, may require external processing depending on the implementation.
-> Information You Provide
If you contact us for support, we may receive information you choose to provide, such as your email address, device details, and the contents of your message.
-> Automatically Collected Information
Depending on the third-party services integrated into the App, certain technical information may be collected, including:
- Device model, operating system, and app version.
- App performance, diagnostics, crash reports, and usage events.
- Advertising identifiers and advertising-related information, where applicable.
- General interaction information used to improve app reliability and performance.
The specific information collected depends on the services enabled in the published version of the App.
2. How We Use Information
Information processed by the App or received through integrated services may be used to:
- Provide document scanning and PDF creation features.
- Convert images into PDF documents.
- Generate AI-powered summaries when supported.
- Provide PDF reading, editing, signing, annotation, and organization tools.
- Maintain app functionality, security, and stability.
- Diagnose technical issues and improve performance.
- Display advertisements, if advertising services are enabled.
- Respond to support requests and comply with applicable legal obligations.
3. Document Storage and Permissions
The App may request access to the camera to scan paper documents and access to photos, images, or files that you choose to import or export.
Documents created or imported through the App may be stored locally on your device, depending on the feature and your actions.
You can manage app permissions through your device settings. Revoking a permission may prevent the associated feature from working.
You are responsible for choosing where to save, export, or share your documents.
4. AI Summary and External Processing
The App may provide AI-powered summaries for supported PDF documents.
Depending on the implementation, generating an AI summary may require sending document content or extracted text to an external AI service for processing.
When external processing is used, the relevant content may be handled by the applicable service provider under its terms and privacy practices. We recommend reviewing those policies before using cloud-based AI features.
We will not describe AI processing as entirely offline unless the feature is implemented to operate locally without transmitting document content to an external service.
Please avoid submitting sensitive or confidential documents to an AI feature unless you are comfortable with the applicable processing arrangements.
5. Sharing and Third-Party Services
We do not sell your personal information as part of the ordinary operation of the App. However, certain information may be processed or shared where necessary to operate the App, provide requested services, or comply with legal obligations.
The App may use third-party services for functions such as:
- AI-powered document processing.
- Advertising.
- App analytics and crash reporting.
- Infrastructure and technical support.
These services may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies. The actual providers and data shared depend on the SDKs and services included in the App.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any applicable third-party providers.
6. Advertising and Analytics
If advertising or analytics services are enabled, their providers may collect certain device, usage, diagnostic, or advertising-related information as described in their respective privacy policies.
Advertising and analytics services may use information to measure performance, prevent fraud, improve services, or deliver advertisements according to the applicable settings and consent requirements.
You can review your device's privacy and advertising settings to understand or manage available choices.
If the App does not use advertising or analytics services, this section should be adjusted before publication.
7. Data Security
We take reasonable measures appropriate to the App's design to protect information processed through our services.
However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
You should protect your device, use appropriate device security settings, and avoid sharing sensitive documents through channels you do not trust.
8. Data Retention and Deletion
Documents saved locally may remain on your device until you delete them or remove the App, subject to your device's storage and backup behavior.
Information processed by third-party providers may be retained according to their respective policies and retention practices.
If you contact us, we may retain your correspondence for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain relevant records, or meet legal obligations.
Deleting the App may not delete information previously transmitted to third-party services or included in device backups.
9. Children's Privacy
The App is not intended to knowingly collect personal information directly from children in violation of applicable law.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information inappropriately, please contact us so we can review the matter and take appropriate action where required.
10. Your Privacy Choices and Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of certain personal information.
You may also be able to manage app permissions, advertising preferences, and other privacy settings through your device or the relevant third-party service.

11. International Data Processing
Where external service providers are used, information may be processed in countries other than your country of residence, subject to applicable law and the providers' practices.
Where required, appropriate safeguards will be applied to international data transfers.
