This policy is intended to comply with applicable U.S. privacy laws, including CCPA/CPRA, COPPA, FTC privacy guidelines and the Apple App Store Review Guidelines.

Important Notice: PDFEditorPro is designed as a local-first document utility. PDF files, images, scans, annotations, signatures, form edits, text notes, bookmarks and other document content you open or create in the App are generally processed on your device or in storage locations you choose, such as Files or your personal iCloud account. We do not sell your personal information or use your private documents for advertising.

Please read this policy carefully before using the App. By continuing to use the App, you confirm that you have read and understood this policy.

1. Information We Collect and Use

We process information only in line with the principles of lawfulness, fairness, transparency and necessity.

1.1 Core Document Data (On-Device or User-Controlled Storage)

PDF files and imported documents: Files you import, create, edit, annotate, merge, split, compress, scan, sign or export through the App are generally processed locally on your device or in the storage destination you select.
Annotations and edits: Text notes, highlights, drawings, shapes, stamps, signatures, bookmarks, page order, form entries and similar editing data may be stored with your documents or in local App data to provide editing features.
Scans and images: Photos, camera scans or selected images used to create PDFs are processed for document conversion, cropping, enhancement, organization and export.
App preferences: Recent files, preferred tools, page view mode, language settings, subscription status cache and other preferences may be stored locally to provide a consistent user experience.

We do not use this data to identify you as an individual.
