Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 14, 2026

Welcome to Quick PDF ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a secure experience while using our mobile application. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and security of information when you use the Quick PDF app.

By downloading, installing, or using Quick PDF, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the application.

1. Information Collection and Usage

We operate under a strict "privacy-by-design" and "offline-first" architecture. We do not run remote cloud databases to harvest your personal information.

A. Personal Data

• No Account Registration: You do not need to register an account, sign in, or provide any personal details (such as name, email address, phone number, or physical address) to use the core features of the app.
• Support Communication: If you contact us via email for support, feedback, or inquiries, we will only use your email address and any details you provide to respond to your request. We do not use this information for marketing or share it with third parties.

B. On-Device File Processing

• Document and File Access: The app requires access to your device's files and documents (via the MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission on Android) to function. This allows the app to scan, list, view, edit, organize, and perform operations on PDF and Office files (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx, .txt, etc.).
• 100% Local Execution: All file processing, rendering, and modification are executed directly on your device. We do not upload your documents, search history, metadata, or files to any external servers. Your documents remain entirely under your control.

C. Camera and Media Access

• Camera Scanner: The application requests access to the device's camera (CAMERA permission) to let you scan physical documents, receipts, or notes.
• On-Device OCR & Processing: Captured images are processed entirely on-device to generate PDFs or perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to extract text. We do not store, upload, or transmit camera frames or raw images to any remote servers.

2. Rationale for Requested Permissions

To deliver the core functionality of the application, we request the following system permissions:

• Read & Write External Storage / All Files Access (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE): Required to index, read, open, edit, and save document files across folders on your device. Without this, the app cannot access or manage your files.
• Camera Permission (CAMERA): Required to capture images of physical documents for the document scanning feature.

You can grant or revoke these permissions at any time through your device's system settings. Please note that disabling these permissions may limit your ability to use certain features of the app.

3. Third-Party Services and Analytics

• No Third-Party Trackers: Quick PDF does not integrate third-party analytics SDKs, advertising networks, or user tracking tools.
• On-Device AI: Any artificial intelligence or machine learning tasks (like text recognition/OCR) are computed locally on your device's CPU/GPU and do not communicate with third-party web APIs.
• Offline Operation: Because the app does not send data to the internet, your app usage remains completely anonymous and private.

4. Data Retention, Control, and Deletion

• Local Ownership: You have complete control over your data. Since all files, scanned documents, and app configurations are stored locally on your device's storage, we do not store your data and cannot delete it for you.
• File Deletion: You can delete your documents at any time using the app's interface or your device's file manager.
• Application Uninstallation: Uninstalling Quick PDF will automatically delete the application's private cache and sandbox storage. Files saved in public directories (like your Downloads or Documents folder) will remain on your device.

5. Children’s Privacy

Our services are not designed for or targeted at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect, request, or maintain personal information from children. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information (for example, through support emails), we will delete it immediately from our records.

6. Security of Your Information

We implement industry-standard local security measures on your device to protect your documents. However, please remember that no method of local storage or electronic transmission is 100% secure. The safety of your documents also relies on your device's physical security, lock screens, and malware protection. We recommend keeping your device OS updated.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our app's features or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. We advise you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
