PDF editor

Edit, convert, sign

Privacy policy

Draft. Effective on the app's launch date.

Short version: PDF editor does not collect any data. Your documents never leave your device.

What we collect

Nothing. PDF editor has no account, no server, no analytics, no advertising and no crash reporting. We don't know who uses PDF editor, which files you open, or what you do with them.

Buying PDF editor

PDF editor is free for your first 5 documents, with every tool included; a one-time purchase removes the limit. Purchases are handled by our reseller, Paddle, on its website (not inside the app). Paddle is the merchant of record: it takes the payment and sends the receipt under its own privacy policy. Paddle shares your name, email address and order details with us so we can create your license key and help you with your purchase. We use them only for that, never for marketing, and don't share them with anyone else.

Your license key contains the name and email address it was bought for, so PDF editor can show who it's licensed to. PDF editor checks the key on your device. It never contacts Paddle, us or anyone else to do it. Buy PDF editor… opens the store page in your own browser.

Where your documents go

Nowhere. Opening, editing, signing, converting and saving happen entirely on your device. PDF editor never uploads a file, and it doesn't make network connections. It works with no internet connection at all. The only time anything leaves the app is when you choose to: for example when you click a web link inside a PDF, which opens in your own browser.

What PDF editor keeps on your device

To be useful, PDF editor stores a few things locally, in the app's private storage on your device:

WhatWhyHow to remove it
Unsaved work (automatic recovery)So you don't lose edits if the app or computer closes unexpectedlySave or close the document, or choose Discard on the home screen
Recent filesQuick access to files you openedHome screen → Manage → Clear recent files, or turn Remember recent files off

Your license key, if you entered oneUnlocks PDF editorHelp → Enter License Key… → Remove License
Which documents count toward the free limit (random document IDs, no names or contents)The free version's limitClear the app's data or uninstall

This data is never sent anywhere. Uninstalling PDF editor (or clearing its site data in your browser) deletes it.

Children

PDF editor doesn't collect data from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the new version will be published here with a new effective date. PDF editor will never start collecting your documents.
