This Privacy Policy explains what information PDF Maker ("the app", "we", "us") handles, why, and what choices you have. By using the app you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
• Your scans, PDFs, photos and recognised text stay on your device unless you choose an online feature (cloud sync, server-side conversion, your own backup sharing).
• We do not sell your personal information.
• We do not use your documents for advertising or to train AI models.
• The free version shows ads. Ad companies may use your device's advertising ID (see section 2.7).
When you scan, import, create or edit documents, the app handles photos from your camera or gallery, PDF files you open or share to the app, text recognised with OCR, signatures and drawings you make, receipts, and document names, folders and tags. This content is stored in the app's private storage on your device. OCR, QR/barcode scanning, object counting, ID photo background removal, Lens and translation run on your device. The first time you use a translation or OCR language, its model file may be downloaded from the internet; no document content is sent for this.
• Camera: to scan documents, ID cards, books, receipts, business cards and QR codes, to count items, and for Lens / Lens Live.
• Photos and files: you choose files with the system picker. The app saves your results to your Gallery (Pictures/PDF Maker) or Downloads (Download/PDF Maker) only when you press Save.
• Biometrics: if you turn on App lock, the app asks Android to verify your fingerprint or face. The app never receives or stores your biometric data.
• Internet: for ads, purchases, language model downloads, update checks and the optional cloud features.
• Contacts: the app does not read your contacts. The business card scanner only opens the system "add contact" screen with details you confirm.
You can remove permissions at any time in your phone settings; some features will then stop working.
• Receipts: the shop name, date, total, category and note you confirm are saved only on your device. Exporting to Excel creates a file on your device; we do not receive it.
• Business cards: the text read from a card is shown to you and is added to your Contacts or saved as a .vcf file only when you choose.
• Lens and Lens Live: photos and live camera frames are processed on your device. Nothing is uploaded.
• Home screen widget and app shortcuts only open the app and collect no data.
If you choose to create an account or use Cloud Sync, server-side PDF conversion or document AI on our server, the app sends to our server: your email address, a password (stored only as a secure hash), the files or text you choose to sync or convert, and their names and basic details. You can stop using these features at any time and ask us to delete your account and data (section 6).
"Export" creates a .zip file of your documents on your device. You decide where to save or share it. We do not receive this file. "Restore" reads a backup file that you select.
Premium purchases are processed by Google Play. We use RevenueCat to manage and verify purchases. RevenueCat and Google receive purchase information such as an app user ID, purchase receipts and store/device information. We do not receive or store your payment card details.
The free version shows banner, medium-rectangle (MREC), full-screen (interstitial) and rewarded ads through Unity LevelPlay, which can work with ad networks such as AppLovin, Meta Audience Network, Unity Ads, Liftoff (Vungle), Chartboost, InMobi, Mintegral, Moloco, Ogury, PubMatic, Smaato, Yandex, Verve and others. These companies may collect your Android advertising ID, IP address, approximate location derived from your IP address, device and app information, and ad interactions to show and measure ads and to prevent fraud. They act under their own privacy policies. You can reset your advertising ID or opt out of personalised ads in Android Settings > Privacy > Ads. Premium users do not see ads.
The app may contact our server to check whether an update is available (it sends the app version and normal technical data such as your IP address). We do not include our own analytics or crash-reporting SDK. Google Play and the ad and purchase providers above may collect technical diagnostics under their own policies.
• To provide the features you use (scanning, editing, converting, searching, syncing, backup, purchases).
• To show ads in the free version and to keep the app secure and free of fraud.
• To answer your support requests.
• To meet legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with the service providers described above (Google Play, RevenueCat, advertising partners and our server host), when the law requires it, or to protect the rights and safety of users and the app.
• Data on your device stays until you delete documents, clear the app's data or uninstall the app.
• Data on our server (only if you use cloud features) is kept while your account is active and is deleted when you ask us to delete it.
To delete your account and the files stored on our server, email support@albonik.com from the email address of your account and write "Delete my data". We will delete it within 30 days. Data that is only on your phone can be deleted inside the app or by clearing the app's storage.
Local app data is kept in the app's private storage. You can protect the app with a PIN or biometrics and block screenshots in Settings. Data sent to our server should be sent over encrypted (HTTPS) connections. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
The app is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has given us information, contact support@albonik.com and we will delete it.
Depending on where you live (for example the EEA, UK or California) you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To use these rights, contact support@albonik.com.
Our service providers may process data in countries other than your own. Where required, appropriate safeguards are used.
We may update this policy. The "Last updated" date above shows the latest version. If you keep using the app after a change, you accept the updated policy.
